out by the police, corroborated the
story told by her former husband, AL
Brown, and s. C. Ferdig Of Montana,
of a plot for the murder of Mrs.
Alice McQuillan Dunn, which pre-
ceded the actual killing of Mrs.
Dunn by nearly two years. Ferdig,
s.,e said, told her of the plot first
and later Brown, then her husband,
admitted it.
Mrs. Brown said she was too ter
rified to reveal the alleged plot,
though now she regretted not having
done so She was divorced from
Brown in Roundup, Mont, in October
1915, she said.

would make no attempt to be re-
leased from Jail, where he has been
held since the killing. Brown and
Ferdig, the police explained, while
held under close surveillance, techni-
calIv are not under arrest.
