Mrs. Brockwell Indicted by the
Grand Jury To-day.
TRIAL SET FOR NEXT THURSDAY

Mrs. Mary Brockwell, who confess
ed to poisoning her three little chill
dren. Ola, Lucy and Lille. two weeks
ago. was indicted by the grand jury
this morning on three counts for will
full murder. Her alleged accom-
plice, George Albritton, was dismiss
ed by the grand jury, and as soon as
the indictments were returned into
court shortly before II o'clock, he
was released from the county jail,
where he had been held nearly two
weeks as an accomplish.
No one was indicted for the muir
der of the children except the moth
err. Reports that there was anyone
/ else involved in the wholesale pois-
oning are unfounded, so far as the
authorities know.
A short time after the grand jury
filed in this morning and reported for
/ the day, Judge Reed ordered the de-
PENDANT, Mrs. Brockwell brought in
to court.
She was informed that the grand
fury had indicted her for murder,
and asked II she had lawyer, to
which she replied that one had been
| appointed for her.
After consulting the attorneys,
Judge Reed decided to set the case
for Thursday, and so informed the
prisoner.
When asked II she had any wit
nesses, she replied that she hadn't,
but Commonwealth Attorney Low
EFT informed the court that her at
torney would look after them.
She was then taken back to Jail,
and il is probable the first case
against her will be ready for trial
next Thursday morning.
The defendant seems more COM
posed than formerly. She is visited
by very few people at present, hav-
ing seemingly waned in popularity as
curiosity. Most everyone who has
asked to see her lately has given her
money, one man giving her half a
dollar. In this way she manages to
get and pay for any delicacies not in
cluded in her prison fare.
Mrs. Brockwell does not act as a
woman who killed three of her chill
dren, and those about the jail who
have observed her since she has been
there are unable to say whether she
Is sane or not.
Yesterday afternoon her remain
ing daughter, Hazel. was questioned
by Commonwealth Attorney Lovett
and County Attorney Graves in the
latters Office. The patroi wagon was
sent to the Home of the Friendless
for her and when taken before the
attorneys she did not appear to be
In the least embarrassed.
She claimed that she had heard
her mother threaten To kill the chill
dren before she would let her insane
husbnd's relatives have them.
The girl also said that she held
the spoon In which the morphine was
mixed with the coal oil. but did no,
know what IL was at the time. IL Is
likely she will prove one of the main
witnesses for the commonwealth.
Albritton was naturally overjoyed
today to learn that the grand jury
had ordered his release. There was
never anything to- connect him with
the killing except the woman's state
'nent.

BOXING EVENTS GOOD

Manager Thornton of the Pawtuxet Val
ley Amusement association deserves great
credit for tho success Of the entertain
ment held last evening At Thornton's
Opera House. which was attended by a
little more than so people
There were three bouts scheduled for
the amusement of those in attendance
and there was not a slow moment during
the whole OF the evening. The first bout
OF the evening was between "Kid' Con-
nelly Of this city and KID Raymond of
Pawtucket
These two youngsters seemed 90 delight
i'm getting at each other and put up one
OF the liveliest six-round affairs that has
been seen for some time. In the first
round honors were about even, in the sec
ond Conneily's eye was put 10 the bad
and Raymond showed his cleverness. In
the third round there was some display
of science both putting up a good fight
but tiring towards the end. For the next
two rounds the hghting was about even
and the referee decided il draw
The second event was another six
round bit of arbitration between Black
Pete Of Fox Point and Fred Campbell, OF
Providence The rounds alternated be-
tween the two boys so evenly that at the
end the referee was forced TO call IL
draw also. 1t was very interesting from
the beginning, both lads seemed TO realize
that they were there to have the crowd
fairly screech with delight and proceeded
to act their part
The third and principal argument was
of 10 rounds between Jack Lynch OF
Cambridge and Al. Demont of Medford.
This was one of the cleverest sparring
exhibitions ever seen in the PawtuNet
VALLEY. Lynch and belmont shared honors
evenly for most OF the time and so the
set-to was declared draw, and there
was little dissent from the decision. Mike
Stone of Providence was master of cere-
monies and referee, and Mike FITZPATRICK
of Providence timekeeper. The boxing be-
gan about 2 o. clock and ended about ii 10
o'clock.

BASEBALL COMMITTEE

Yesterdays session Of the national
baseball commission at Laugherty club
house. 90 miles below Cincinnati. began
with consideration of the changes in the
national agreement desired by the Ma
tional Association Of Minor Leagues.
President. Powers OF the Eastern
league; Judge Kavanaugh, president Of
Of the New England league; Canagers
HanIon. Baltimore, and stallings, Buffalo:
President Grlfiths Of Jersey City and
others asked for greater consideration for
the minor leagues.
The first point to come up is the In
crease In the price to be paid for draft
ing minor league players, and the de-
cressing Of the number OF players to be
thus taken from any one team.
Ban Johnson, president or the Ameri-
can league. declared that he was opposed
to the request Of the minor leagues re-
garding drafted players. Instead OF the
plan for changing the national agreement
suggested by the minor league men, john
son offered a substitute that each club Of
the American and National leagues be
limited to the drafting OF not more than
four or FIVE players each year. He favored
$4,000 for the maximum price for drafted
men.
While Ban Johnson was presenting his
plan for compromise 20 tho meeting
there was a warm exchange OF opinions
between him and President Hermann OF
the Cincinnati club. whom Johnson de-
clared responsible for the condition re-
sulting from paying Of high prices for
untried players. Finally President John
son declared that "tho bride must be

BASKETBALL TONIGHT

Tonight the Brown university basket
bah team plays it's first intercollegiate
game in Lyman gymnasium. when the
team will line mp against the five from
Boston university. The contest will prob
ably be a close one from start to finish.
Nearly every player has had at least one
year of college experience and they have
a decided advantage over tho Brown team
in the number of games played his sea
son.
The lineup of the Brown team will be
the same as that In the Wexford game
last Saturday. when Brown came off vic
torious by a score OF SO to II. In the
game tonight Capt. De Wolf will play
left forward, while his running mate
Rackle. will look after the right side OF
the floor. Harding is TO taN< care OF left
guard. and IT is probable that both Ingstis
and Schwartz will have a chance at the
other guard. The only freshman to take
part is j. ID. Pryor OF South Orange, ~
j. He will play centre.
The game is scheduled to begin at s
