O JEALOUSY
DUNG MAN HELD FOR ALLEGED
MURDER OF PRETTY MARY
cRoWDER IN JlTNEY ON THE
WAY TO A PICTURE SHOW.

Petersburg, Va, Sept 1s--Although
protesting his innocence and asserting
that the victim shot herself, Thomas
Brown, about % years old, formerly of
Buena Vista, Va, who was captured
by the military police in Camp Lee
last evening, has been placed in the
Petersburg jail under suspicion of hay-
ing murdered Miss Mary Crowder,
aged Is, the previous night in an au-
tomobile after they had attended a
motion picture show.
The police believe Brown did the
shooting, while he and Miss Crowder
were seated in the rear of a jitney au-
tomobile, investigation having shown
that the muzzle of the revolver was
pressed close to the girls body and
the bullet passed through her. heart.
Police impute the crime to jealousy.
Joseph Crowder, superintendent of
the Pocahontas cotton mills, who is
the father OF the murdered girl, will
probably be one of the chief witnesses
at the inquest tomorrow night. It was
his description of Brown that led to
the arrest. Brown refused to talk to-
day and the police said his condition
is that of man suffering from ner-
vous break down.
1t Is alleged that Brown has a po-
lice record in Buena Vista. He left
that town about four years ago and
had been living in Petersburg year
or more.

millions In gold and engineered their
bloody overthrow of Russia for the
benefit of their masters. Now the
story is told OF how, while the Brest-
