Identity Of Corpse In Church
Stove Established by Means
Of False Teeth.
MOTIVE FOR CRIME 4 MYSTERY
insanity In Preachers Family May Ex.
plain Some Horrible Features
Of Murder.

Port Huron, Mich, Jan. 10. - BY
means Of two false teeth It was den.
nitely established yesterday afternoon
that Gideon Browning of ,Adair village
was the man who was butchered last
Tuesday evening in the little Rattle
Run Methodist church, In Columbus
township. With part Of the mystery
thus cleared, the supervisors Of st.
Clair county Immediately offered q
reward of $500 for the arrest Of Rev.
John H. Carmichael Of Adair, pastor
Of the little church, and the man who
was at first supposed to have been
killed.
Teeth Are Identified.
The teeth were found yesterday
when the ashes from the stove were
sifted. DR.. C. H. Browbeer of st.
Clair, the dentist who made Browning
a set of false teeth recently, exam.
ined them and declared they were
part of Browning's set. His decision
satisfied Prosecuting Attorney Brown
that it was Browning who had been
killed.
Efforts to discover some motive for
the destruction of the carpenter by
the minister have been fruitless, and
rumors that Carmichael had been
seen crossing the St. Clair river into
Canada could not be corroborated yes.

Mrs. Carmichael and Miss Carmi-
chael, wife and daughter Of the minis
ter, were examined yesterday by the
prosecuting attorney here, and he
stated afterward that he was con-
WINGED that they knew nothing of the
murder nor the mans disappearance :
Sister In Insane Asylum.
"A statement yesterday by Mrs. Car
michael that her husbands sister Is
an inmate Of an insane asylum may
explain some Of the horrible features
Of the crime, II tho authorities' sus.
picions about Rev. Carmichael are
horne out. Mrs. Carmichael also said
that her husband was moody and rest
less the night before he disappeared
and apparently brooded over some
thing.
II was also learned yesterday that
on Monday, the day before the MUIR
DER Rev. Carmichael came to the
poston1ce In Adair, apparently much
agitated and perturbed, and received
q letter which he took away without
opening. It is thought that this letter
may have had some connection with
the strange intimacy between the
minister and the carpenter, which had
been noticed for a number Of weeks
before the crime in the church.

State Bar y Committee Finds.
Judge Root Of Seattle Guilty
Of Gross Improperly.
Want GRAND JURY TO PROBE
Dickered With Great Northern Over
Money Matters and Accepted
Transportation.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 1.-THE state
bar association committee appointed
to investigate the conduct Of Judge
Milo A. Root, who resigned as Judge
of the supreme court two months ago,
made its report Saturday. Judge Root
was recently elected for another term
Of six years. His resignation affected
only the term to which he was elected
two years ago. If he fails to qualify
Monday, Jan. II, the Office will be de-
clared vacant.
The committee finds that Judge
Root has been guilty of gross impro-
priety, which units him for the SUI
preme bench.
Findings Are Sensational.
The report makes these conclusions
and recommendations:
That Judge Root had correspond
ence with M. J. Gordon, attorney for
the Great Northern Railroad company,
concerning money transactions.
That Judge Root accepted from the
Great Northern and other railroads
free transportation.
That Judge Root filed as the opin-
Ion of the supreme court an almost
verbatim draft of an opinion dictated
by M. ]. Gordon, attorney for the
Great Northern, in the case of Harris
against the railroad company.
Some Points in Doubt.
The committee is unable to obtain
any facts to substantiate the rumors
of the giving out of advance informa-
ton concerning the decisions of the
supreme court.
The committee is unable to obtain
any facts to substantiate rumors of
bribery and corruption.
The committee holds that the con-
duct of Judge Root in receiving free
transportation is highly censurable
and requests the judges Of the supe-
rior court of Spokane county to call a
grand jury to investigate fully the
rxmors of corruption.
Decide Course In Future.
Believing that its suggestion will be
acted upon, the committee feels that
II is only fair to withhold any other
recommendations.
Whether such inquisition be held or
not, the supreme court and the state
bar association will then confer to
reach basis for further action or
proceeding.

FIGHT IS FATAL TO THREE.
Row At Kentucky Dance stirs Up Feue
and Ends in Bloody Battle.

Williamstown, KY, Jan. IL. - One
man was killed, two fatally wounded
and six other men were seriously in
jured as the result of fight that
started at a dance Saturday night and
continued through yesterday morning,
which was terminated by Sheriff Car
ter and a posse arresting the alleged
ringleaders in the killing, just as a
mob was being formed to avenge the
death of Ethel Ransom, who was beat
en- to death after he had received sew
eral wounds.
The dance was held at the home Of
Wesley Barns, and during the festivi-
ties Ethel Ransom and William
Thompson are said to have begun
shooting after an alteration. Thomas
Turner interfered and was shot and
beaten.
The men then came into town, and
while George Lantern, who was
wounded, was in DIR. O'Hara's Office,
Ethel Ransom assisted in. dressing his
wounds. After leaving the Office the
Lantern crowd attacked the Ransoms.
Ethel Ransom was the first to fall.
Not satisfied, his enemies, as he cried
for mercy, beat his brains out with
blocks of cement.
The Lanterns, finding that their OPP
ponents were gaining in numbers, took
to fight. The sheriff and his posse
surrounded the Lanterns home and
they, on learning that they would be
protected, surrendered.
AS the sheriff departed by one road
for Covington with his prisoners a
mob was being formed. The second
light. which was q battle, was not q
sequel of the dance row, but was the
outgrowth of feud.
