charged with the murder Of her hus.

Gus death occurred Monday. June IA
has confessed that she knowingly and
with wilful intent administered poi
son to her husband. She duplicates
Brown. declaring that he introduced
the poison into a vessel containinS
coffee
The woman's written statement. now
In possession OF the police. is in sub
stance TO the effect that Brown pro
cured the strychnine: that he conceal
ed himself In the woods until be had
an opportunity to enter the house un
seen by his prospective victim: that
he dropped the poison into coffee
pot on the stove; that she witnessed
his act. after which she administered
the poisoned coffee. mixed with whis
Ky. to her husband. and then instruct.
ed her daughter TO empty the coffee
pot OF its contents. rinse the vessel
and make fresh coffee.
There must have been an overdose
Of the poison put in the coffee. for 4,
threw Tracey into violent commissions
which caused him to tear the flesh
from his breast and to die in great
agony. II was this violence that
aroused the suspicious OF the neigh.
borhoOd.
The police. in cooperation with the
Lancaster. Pa. authorities. learned
that the poison-lO cents worth OF
strychnine-was purchased for Brown
by his brother John A Brown. at Ian
caster. which city William Brown Wis.
tied last Thursday. Brown. in request.
ing his brother to make the purchase.
said he wanted il 10 kill rats.
With this much revealed all that Is
awaited IS the result OF the chemical
examination Of the contents OF Ira
cey's stomach to complete the chain OF
evidence which the authorities are
convinced viii convict the pair OF the
most cruelty planned murder in York
county's history
That the faithless wife and her
lover had planned the murder days. or
even weeks ahead seems certain.
\ startling development in the case
Is the possibility that Brown and Mrs
Tracey may BE- made TO answer for yet
another murder. About a year ago
Browns wife. a sister Of Tracey. died
suddenly few weeks after the birth
OF a child. and while being nursed by
Mrs Tracey. AT the time the death
was viewed as mysterious. and there
is now talk Of having this body ex.
humed and an examination for traces
OF poison made.

According 10 the Ely News the Nevada
Consolidated Cumberland ELY merger Is
an outcome that has been looked forward
TO as an economic step that sooner or
later would be bound TO come about. 1t
will do away with much bookkeeping,
and great deal OF work and care here

the companies separately and managing
their separate outputs of blister copper to

In the management OF production Of
the mines OF the two companies there
will be small change resultant from the
merger. if any. In the development divi-
sion. however. there is every likelihood
that n great change Will occur. and that
the district at large Will benefit much
