FORMER CAPITAL
MAN AIDED BURNS
DYNAM|TING HUNT
Samuel Brown, Once Police
man Here, Furnished the
Best Clue.

The long trail which Detective Burns
says led him to the capture of the Nc
Namara boys, charged with having dyn-
amited the plant of the Los Angeles
Times, was started really by a former
Washington policeman. He is Samuel
Brown, brother of Philip Brown, now
one of the policemen on an outlying"
beat in the citys suburbs. Samuel
Brown is now chief of detectives in the
office of Prosecutor Frederick, of Los
Angeles.
Two weeks ago, long before the arrest
of the Mcnamara boys brought to new
life the hunt for the dynamiters. Brown
came 10 Washington. He called at
police headquarters to see his old
friends, and while he did not give up
the names of the suspects" he said
that he had worked through Chicago,
Oklahoma, the middle States and as far
East as New York on the case.
He is the man who found the dyn-
amite bomb, which through some de-
feet in the clockwork, failed to explode,
and gave the authorities their first clue
as to the nature of the explosive used.
When Brown surrendered the suit
case with its dangerous contents to the
authorities, Detective Burns was fur
nished with the clue of the bent brass
pieces on the back of the clock, whicn
he said was compared with the clock
work on the bomb which did explode
and gave him the strongest basis he
had for continuing the investigation.
Samuel Brown was a member of the
Washington Police force for several
years. He left 1t about ten years ago.
going to the Philippines where he en-
tered the constabulary and where he
later became chief of detectives. When
he returned to the United States he
was made chief of detectives under
Prosecutor Frederick, in Los Angeles.
