If Frank NJ. Brown, the wealthy bach

is still at large. Investigation showed
that the MAJ had been dead for d
week. the ]coroner's jury finding that
death was caused by a gunshot wound.
The body was found on the bed IN

he lived, the faithful dog, half starved,
being on guard over his dead master,

by the muraerers when they left,
The man had been shot in the bach
Of the neck. the bullet being ound in
the body. A revolver was discovered in
the grass outside the house, but was
not of the same caliber of the bullet.
A bullet hole was found in the door,
out had been made from within the
house. A shotgun had been taken down
from the wall and laid on the bed be-
side the body, evidently to convey the
impression that he had committed
suicide. Crossing Il strip of plowed
ground surrounding the house We're

He was frequently seen to have a roll

The murderers had made a thorough
job of overhauling his premises, for
nothing of value was discovered by the
