MURDERED BOY

Police Believe They Have Mo-
tive For Killing Of Robert
Brown

Tomorrow George Robinson, col
ored, suspected Of the murder Of Rob-
ert Brown. the 15-year-old negro boy,
viii be arraigned in City Court for a
preliminary hearing. What evidence
the police will give against him is not
known, but they have got nothing from
him even by close questioning, excMDt
that he is innocent Of the crime.
Motive for the Crime
The only point that has been battling
the police is the motive for the muir
der They. now believe they have
solved this perplexing question. There
was insurance in force on the boys
life amounting to several hundred dol
lars Several weeks ago, while the
mother of the lad was going over some
papers in the presence Of Robinson she
came across these policies. Robinson
at that time, the police say, proposed
to the woman that she leave the city
with him, but this she refused to do,
saying that she couldn't desert her
son. Robinson, it is alleged, then said
that something might happen TO the
roy one of these days, and further re-
marked that the youth slept in dan
gerous place, directly under the Win
dow Of his bedroom. Anybody" he
said, could get up on the kitchen roof
and harm him through the window"
Took Out Window Pane
The murderer, whoever he was, care
fully took out a pane OF glass that had
been put in with carpet tacks, and then
reaching through with revolver in
hand, fired the fatal shots. The three
men who occupied the same room as
the murdered boy, who have been in

MASKED ROBBERS
HELD HIM UP
ChriStiana Farmer Relieved
Of His VaIuabIeS on Lonely
Road and is Nearly Shot

Masked men held up and robbed Samuel
A. Alrichs. wen-inown farmer OF near
Christana, a few days ago and that he
was not murdered in cold blood. was not
the fault Of one Of the highwaymen who
fired point blank at him.
The hold-up occurred at 10 o'clock at
night in a lonely part of the Hares
Corner road near the Minquadale home.
Mr.. Alrichs had been to the market and
was returning home with the proceeds Of
the days business in his pocket and all
unconscious Of any harm Detailing him.
Just as the team reached Rogers woods
two men leaped into the road and IN true
Western fashion, both leveled revolvers
at Alrlchs.
One Of the thieves grasped the Horse by
the head and the other commanded the
occupant to hold his hands up. and at the
same time jumped on the wheel Of the
wagon. The farmer quickly reached in an
inside pocket and securing his pocketbook
threw it back in the wagon.
BY this move the highwayman was con-
WINGED that Mr. Alrichs was after a
weapon to defend himself and Il was then
that the thief fired at his intended vic
tim. How he missed his mark is a mystery.
Mr.. Alrioh at this stage. threw up his
hands and the highwaymen made him get
down from the wagon and they searched
him thoroughly. They also ransacked the
wagon and found the pocketbook. In all
the thieves got about S25 and a watch and
several things Of small value. After re-
lieving the man Of all his valuables they
allowed him to proceed.
Faces Were Masked
Mr.. Airichs could not see the faces Of
the highwaymen because they We're shield
ed from view with a black cloth with holes
cut in for the eyes. He Is positive they
were white men, however, as he noticed
the white flesh below the eyes. on reach-
ing Christiana he notified the authorities.
No trace Of the men has yet been found.
