boy ADMITS KILLING
Declares He Killed Marshal
in Self Defense.

ANDERSON, Ind. March 4-Much
of the mystery that has surrounded
the defense in the Brown murder trial
has been cleared, and little Billy
Brown, charged with having killed
Constable Hawkins at Ingalls, last
July. goes to trial invoking the Law
or self-defense in extenuation for the
crime. The son has assumed respOn-
sibility for having used the knife thai
cost Hawkins his life
That Billy Brown told the truth in
his trial at Marion when he testified
that he stood at a distance from the
struggling men who were down on the
ground when the death blow was
struck is now believed
The defense will ask for the acquit-
tai of little Billy on the ground OF
self-defense. 1t will not contend that
the constable was armed while on
the trip to Ingals, but the claim will
be made that young Brown thought
he was.
The blood stained clothing worn by
Constable Albert Hawkins on his last
visit to Ingalls, were exhibited In court
today.
DR.. B. H. Cook, who conducted the
coroners' autopsy. testified that the
knife which killed Hawkins had been
drawn with The point facing the back

State Authorities Accept Al
terations Suggested by Au-
ditor Bowman and County
Assessor Mathews.
QUESTIONS ARE ADDED
1923 Questions to Be Answer
ed BY Tax Payers When
Assessors Maks Rounds
This Year.

A dozen changes in the personal as
sessment schedules suggested TO the
state board of tax commissioners last
YEAR by Auditor Bowman and County
Assessor Mathews have been adopted
and are in force in the 1914 schedules
which were distributed Saturday to
assessors.
The purpose of alomst every change
is to make the questions applicable
to more persons. AS an instance. the
three questions: number OF balloons
and value" number of aeroplanes and
value" and number of biplanes and
value" applying TO only few persons,
these we're recommended for elimina-
ton because of the few PRISONS they
would reach. Nobody in Wayne coun-
~ owns flying machine.
Add Questions.
In the assessment of stores, the
question was added, value or goods
and merchandise held on conslgn-
ment" Other additions have also been
made on the recommendation OF the
Wayne county men in order to assess
fixtures more specifically than by the
term fixtures.
As no provision had been made pre-
mules and cattle under one year old,
these three were added in the 1914 as
seSSInent schedules. Straw, feed mills.
concrete mixers. cider mills and
presses, tanning mills, maple sugar
making equipment, and washing ma
chimes which were formerly omitted
from the personal assessment sched-
ules have been added.
The new schedules contain 129 ques-
tions while the 1913 schedules had on
ly 1o1 qeustons, relating to the per-
sonal ch6ttels.
For the convenience of the assessors
and to facilitate their work. the word
corporation was added to distinguish
from township assessing. Instead of
the question where did you live last
year. the more specific question.
where were you assessed last year,
was supplemented.
To prevent double assessments on
additional improvements. at the rec
ommendation of the auditor and coun-
~ assessor of Wayne county, the
board of tax commissioners condensed
two questions to one, listing additional
improvements as personal.
