county jail this morning, bUt conf d
secure NO statement f'r i'Whiicatinn
from either at this time. f,r. Bveth-
our merely stated that he is entirely
innocent of the charge, and said he
would prove it conclusivc!y at the
proper time.
Young Cottrell also maintains his
innocence OF the charge. Although
the ceroner's jury did not duplicate
Cottrell, the authorities claims they
have strong case against h'r. 1t is
clalmed that he accomplished the ruin
of the girl and also procured the ser
vices of Dr.. Brethour. C,ttrell is %

ing Coroner Whaley ruled against
him.
Two Arrests Made.
Immediately after the return of the
verdict by the Coroner's jury, finding
that Lillian Warren had come to her
death from the effects of an abortion
committed by DIR. Herbert Brethour,
County Attorney w. p. Baker swore
out complaint charging DR.. Brethour
and Leo Cottrell, jointly with murder.
Meanwhile the verdict was kept secret
until Sheriff Ward had rounded up

intended to tell the truth, as to his
connection with the affair, to the
Judge when the case came to trial and
take whatever was coming to him.
His father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. w. Cottrell of Carlton, arrived yes
