Mr. Browns life was prolonged for
several hours by the injection of salt
solution and by administering oxy-
gen. DR.. Charles White, superin-
tendent Of the hospital, declared that
Senator Browns case was one Of the
most remarkable that had ever como
under his observation. His death was
due to complications brought on by
kidney trouble and notto-septic poi
soning as result of the wound. The
shock of the bullet wound, however,
had aggravated the kidney troubles
until the organs refused to perform
their functions.
One of the assistant district attor-
neys made another truitless effort to
secure an anti-morten statement, but
Senator Brown refused to talk.
DR.. w. L. Sheep and Max Brown
and Miss Alice Brown Of Columbus,
Ohio. the former senator's son and
daughter respectively. were at the
bedside when he expired. He had
been unconscious for several hours.
After the autopsy is performed the
body will be taken to Salt Lake City
for burial.

collapse and her physicians say 1t may
be several days before she is able to
be, arraigned in court She will be
transferred from tbs house of de-
tention to a cell In the district Jail.
The prisoner today refused to pose for
a photograph when the police pho
tographer called at the house OF de-
tention.

Maud Adams, the actress, was noti-
fed OF Senator Browns death by DR..
White, She will arrive in Washing

in connection with letters which she
wrote to Brown and were found in
the possession Of Mrs. Bradley when

ator's son says Mrs. Adams has been
a long personal friend Of the family.
Mrs. Bradley will not be inform
