The bracelet was of peculiar design and could not be easily forgotten by any one after once being seen.
 The police believe that this conclu- sively proves that the dead negro is the one who had been operating in Little Rock for the past three years as the date coincides with that of the time of the arrival of the negro Brown in the city after being released from the Oklahoma penitentiary.
 This case is not the only one in which stolen goods have been found in the effects of Brown Several vic tins have identified and recovered stolen property which had been mis. sing for some time and in some cssea years,

STATE CAPITOL,
 NEWS AND NOTES Committee From Penitentiary Board Investigates Death
 Of Convict.
WARDEN HELD BLkMElESS
Prisoner Died From Effect of Over heating but He Had Received Proper
 and immediate Attention.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-The committee sent out by the penitentiary beard to in- vestigate the death of convict who died in the camp of Warden Tinsley, located near Malvern, has rendered it's report and exonerated Warden Tins ley from blame in connection with the death of the convict.
 Conditions in the camp were found to be sanitary and that the prisoners were not suffering for anything, the only recommendation of the committee being that the convicts should be al lowed to eat their noon meal in the shade
 In the case of the dead convict it was found that he was Lee Edwards, convicted in Miller county and had only been in the camp a week before his death. He had been in jail sev- eral months before his conviction and was i'll no condition to stand hard labor or the hot sun. He was given only light duties to perform but it was soon noted that he was i'll and he was sent to the camp for treatment. He showed improvement next morning, and desired to go to work. He had been working only short time before he had to be sent 10 the camp again to receive treatment. Immedicate medi- cal attention was given him but he died a few hours later from the effects of being oyerheated.
 The only fault to be found by the committee was with Warden Tinsley, who it is said expressed his opinions freely of cornor and coroners juries.
 Since the committee who investi- gated the death of the convict Ed wards made it's report, complaints have been made that investigation was not thorough and Secretary of State Earle Hodges has issued call for the entire penitentiary board to meet and visit Malvern in a body to make a thorough examination.
