CLUE IN MURDER CASE.
Negro Makes Partial Confession II
 Killing of Baltimore Woman.

Baltimore, Aug. 15.-After five hours of grilling by the policy. John Snowden, colored, has made adm1s- sions that convince the officials that he is the murderer of Mrs. Lottie May Haslup Brandon, at her home in Annapolis, last Wednesday.
 Chief of Police Carter said:
 "Snowden has made partial con- fession. We hope to have the full story from him shortly We feel that there is no longer a doubt that he is the murderer of Mrs. Brandon .
 Meanwhile the Annapolis detectives were busy on another clue, which re- suited in the arrest of Edna Wallace, colored, former wash woman of the Brandons, as a material witness against Snowden. She declares Snow den was in her company all of last Wednesday-the day of the murder thus contradicting Snowden himself.
 The body of the murdered woman will be exhumed for a further exam ination by medical experts.
