WAS PASTOR CARMICHAEL
 A VICTIM OF DRUGS7
Browning's Watch Found in the Dead
 Preachers Pocket.


 Burlington, Iowa, Jan 12.-When the body of Rev. John Haviland Carmich- ael of Adair Mich, confessed slayer of Gideon Browning, whom he slew and cremated in Rattle, Run Methodist church, near Adair, Mich, passed through Burlington tonight on the way to Port Huron, Mich., from Carthake, H., where the preacher committed sui- eide yesterday, Deputy Sheriff Moore of Port Huron gave it as his opinion that Carmichael was entirely prompt ed to the murder of Browning by mer- cenary motives, and that the purpose in the murder of Browning was to give the impression that he himself was the victim, so that his wife might receive the insurance money. Carmichael then planned the deputy said, in some way to get the money from his wife.
 Detectives who made careful exam ination of the body discoveerd it is said, on one of the legs a number of hypodermic syringe wounds. They later found the syringe with which they were made. This suggested to some that Carmichael was a victim of drugs. In the dead mans pocket was discovered the watch of Browning. It was also ascertained that the pocket knife with which Carmichael commit ted suicide was the property of Brown ing. The knife was easily identified, because it was one of the scenic hand led variety, containing pictures under transparent celluloid sides.
 The letter left by the suicide to Mrs Carmichael was made public today. In it the parson further accuses himself of cowardice for not staying to face the consequences of lis act. He shows friendship for his wife and children, but there seems to be coldness of na- ture in the language used. Carmich ael in his flight from Port Huron, Mich, had had his beard removed, completely changing his appearance.
