ously Injured.
MANS INNOCENCE PROVEN

Police investigation of the story of
Mrs. Kirke Brown, who claimed that
her husband shot at her on Sunday
night in their apartments, at No. so
Merseles street, the bullet from the re-
volver having passed through a parti-
ton and wounded james johnson, four
teen years old, and Frank Mercein, has
proved it to be untrue, and the woman,
faced with the result of the investiga-
ton this morning, admitted that her
story was false and that she accidentally
fred the revolver herself. She said she
was handling it while she was nervous
and, realizing that the wounding of the
two boys in the adjoining apartment
might cause her trouble, she invented,
in her excitement, the story of her hus-
band having shot at her. Just after the
shooting she told how her husband in
a fit of passion drew the revolver upon
her and how she lodged a. bullet fired
at her by diving headforemost under a
table.
Detective Bob Pearson yesterday
went to Gravesend, where Kirke Brown
was employed and secured his arrest
and detention by the Brooklyn police
authorities. The man was dumbfound-
ed when told what he was arrested for.
He protested his innocence, declaring
that he had not been home in a week.
He was so confident that he could prove
an ahbi that the detectives We're con-
WINGED of his innocence, but had him
held by the Brooklyn authorities until
the investigation of Mrs Browns story
was finished.
The revolver from which the bullet
was fred and which was taken charge
of by the police, is formidable looking
weapon of the Smith & Wesson forty
four calibre pattern, such as is used in
the regular U. S. cavalry. Mrs. Brown
told several stories. One was to the
effect that the revolver had not been
fred off since July 4. Chief Murphy
ran a piece of cheesecloth through the
bore and found it seiled with black
smoke or SCOT, showing that the re-
volver had been recently fired off. Had
it not been used in months the bore
would have been lined with a grayish
substance. The bullet which wounded
the two boys in the adjoining apartment
was dug out of the wall opposite the
partition which separated the apart
ments occupied by them through which
the bullet made its way. 1t was forty
four calibre bullet and fitted the cham
bers of the revolver found in her apart
ments. The escape of the two boys was
miraculous. Young Thompson's arm
was grazed by the bullet which
ploughed across the forehead of Frank
Mereein. Neither was seriously injured
and both are still at home.
Detective Pearson went to Brooklyn
this morning to have Kirke Brown set
at liberty. Mrs. Brown was allowed to
go home So far no complaint has been
lodged either by the wounded boys or
their parents.
