Rockwell City, Nov. 19.-Mrs. J. M.
Brown was on the stand in her hus-
bands defense this morning, and testi-
fled that her husband assaulted the
daughter-in-law, Emma johnson
Brown, to save her life.
Mrs. Tremary, Mrs. ]. M. Browns
sister, said she found bread knife that
had been carried by Mrs Emma Brown
under the sofa
Did Victim Intend Murder?
The most sensational part of yester-l
days proceedings came late in the aft
ernoon when evidence was introduced
to show a large butcher knife was
found in the room, an effort being made
to furnish proof of the assertion the
slain woman had gone tos the room Of
her mother-in-law with the intention
of taking her life, and had been killed
by the senior Mr.. Brown while defend
ing the woman who for many years
had battled at his side and had shared
his joys and sorrows, and who at the
present time is a comparatively help
less cripple as the result of fall while
stepping from train at Palmer, Iowa,
couple of years ago.
The aged wife of the accused man
was present in the court room during
the entire proceedings yesterday, and
altho very feeble, and it is feared an
adverse judgment for her husband will
cause her death, she will probably be
placed on the stand, she having been
helpless eye witness to the terrible.

Shercliffe Greets Wife and Children
From Cell.
Minneapolis, Nov. 19-Frank ]. Sher-
cliffe, said to be one Of the most des-
perate criminals in the country, spent
an hour with his wife and two chill
dren. They visited him in the county
Jail where he is waiting trial on the
charge of holding up passengers on a
Northern Pacific train in Minneapolis.
Mrs. Shercliffe. whose real name is
Mrs. Sherman Morris, arrived in Min
neapolis from Des Moines and went at
once to the Jail. After she and the
children. little boy and girl had been
searched for concealed weapons, they
were admitted to the Jail corridor and
thru the bars of the corridor Shercliffe
kissed his wife and children.
I'm mighty glad to see you," he
said. "How are the kids?"
The kids assured him that they were
all right.
"That's good" said Shercliffe.
"Now play around while I talk to
your mother"
Present at the interview between
Shercliffe and his wife was Frank Nor
rill, Shercliffe's attorney. Mrs. Sher-
cliffe, who is young looking woman,
was as reticent about discussing the
case as is Frank j. Shercliffe.

Shercliffe's brother, has left for Mel

lars because Of the decision of the
state government to purchase two
million bags of coffee last year IN
stead of having to buy two million
bags, which contain 130 pounds each.
the government was compelled to pur-
chase over eight million. 1t was fig
ured that the coffee crop would be
short last year and that the two million
bags in the hands Of the government
would about control the situation. In
stead, the production last year was
something like fourteen million bags,
and the government, to carry out ITS
original intention was obliged to Dor
row money and secure control of eight
million bags of coffee. This year the
coffee crop is again unusually large
AMI the Brazilian government, hguring
that the purchases of last year would
be fruitful this year, Is again up
against it, Nearly the whole of the
eight million bags of coffee are still
on hand, and the price is lower Shan
1t was when the government Invested.
A fair estimate of Brazil's loss, at the
present prices, is about s35,0O0,00O, as
the government has $9O,O0o,000 worth
