Washington. Nov. 25.-President
Taft walked the streets of Washington
last evening and mingled with the
people on Pennsylvania avenue with
only a few signs of recognition from
the passersby. Whenever he was ad-
dressed he dotted his hat. Mr. Taft
is the first president of the United
States to take such a journey since
the days when General Grant, smok-
ing his cigar, strolled about the
capital.
The president spent more than an
hour in stepping along at a lively pace
over the sidewalks spotted with sleet
and snow. Mr.. Taft was clad in q
rough suit of tweed, derby hat and a
light overcoat. He seemed much in

William Brown Confesses That
He Killed Frank Powell.
Admission Came as a Complete
Surprise to State.
SHOTTOPROTECTWIFE
Feeling Against the Prisoner at
Pratt Is Strong.
Widow and Infant of Murdered
Man Pathetic Figures.

Pratt, Kan, Nov. 25.-A sudden
climax was reached in the trial OF
William Brown, the negro charged
with the murder of Frank W. Powell
when Brown admitted that he fired
the two shots which caused the death
of Powell.
Following the answer which he
made to. the preliminary questions
put to him by his attorney, George
A. Neeley of Hutchinson, with respect
to Browns early life and the various
occupations he followed, and few
questions leading up to the incidents
of the night, Brown made his confess
sion in this language:
Brown Confesses Killing.
81 jumped over the fence with my
revolver and fired two shots"
The following questions and an
swers preceded the admission:
Did your wife and Ola Dupree go
out or the night of the shooting ?"
asked Neeley.
Yes" was the reply
Were you home when they re-
turned?"
Yes"
Did you know they were return
ing?"
How did you know she was your
wife?"
"I knew my wife's voice.
What did you do them
81 got my revolver and ran out OF
the house. I jumped over the fence
with my revolver and fired two shots"
How far was the person you shot
from your gate?'
About seven yards"
why did you shoot"
MY wife had told me before of
being followed and insulted on the
same dark street"
What was your object in shooting
when you did?
ITO defend my wife,
Did you believe her in danger?"
Yes"
What made you think she was in
danger?"
Because of her screams"
Browns Conflicting Stories.
w. B. Hess, county attorney asked
question which rather confused
Brown.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1909-11-25

Have you ever made q different
statement of this affair ?''
Brown replied that he had not.
Did you not make different
statement to Hutchinson newspaper
man?''
Brown said, ..No.'
Asked what he did with the revol-
YER the witness at first stated that he
mad hidden it in bed and later in the
cellar.
When the trial of the case was re-
stunned John Conrid railroad man,
was the first witness to be placed on
the stand. He testified that he had
talked with Powell before the shoot
ed further.
The star witnesses for the state
who testified this morning were Ola
Dupree, the young colored woman
who was with Mrs. Brown before the
shooting, Mrs. Gertrude Brown and
Arthur Rogers.
The jurymen with whom the fate
of Brown rests are: ]. G. Jorns Jas
Wheatley, G. W. Brenn, ]. B. Mitch
ell, ]. w. Gray, M. J. Goodwin, H. B.
Daily. G. v. Weber, C. L. Perine, Ed
Wonder. c. F. Pitver and c. A. Lilly.
Feeling Against Brown Strong.
Feeling as to the guilt of Brown was
SHOWN to be strong while the jury was
being selected. Two men, C. H. Burch-
er and w. H. Hamin. who has been
empaneled on the jury, openly declar-
ed that they believed that Brown had
committed the crime for which he is
oelng tried; a third. J. c. Carlyle. ad-
united that he was strongly prejudiced
against the colored race, he having
once been shot by negro.
Z. H. Burcher. the first juror to be
excused did not hesitate to speak his
opinion. Following a statement he
made with reference to the case, Judge
Preston B. Gillett asked him if he
were about to enter upon the trial with
opinions of guilt. Yes was the quick
reply. 1T is my idea that Brown kill
ed POWELL
Hamlin. the second to be excused,
was more mild in the expression of his
beliefs Nevertheless. he stated that he
did not feel altogether kindly towards
Brown. 1t was not until 4:30 o'clock
that the attorneys were ready to pro-
cee1.
While the court room was crowded
at the morning session. the throng
which had gathered by the time the first
witness was called numbered at least
200 persons. In fact. so great was the
interest in the case that additional
numbers gathered outside of the en-
trance to the court room and for a
