Mammoth Chestnut
Trees Marketed In
West Virginia

WESTON, w. Va, July So
Six immense chestnut trees, the
largest ever marketed in this re-
gion, were cut recently on the
farm Of the Rev. L. E. Resseger,
near Frenchtown. All were
over -? feet in diameter.
One tree measured seven feet
and eight inches; and a second
one was seven feet and six
inches. One of these had a
large hole near the root, and
there's a local tradition that
bear was once captured in the
hollow. When that particular
tree was being sawed down two
crosscpt saws were used, and
two men stood inside the hollow
stump while the other two stood
outside while saving. The trees
were shipped to Elkins to be
used for dye-wood.

YOUTH GIVES UP
HIS FATHER AS
SLAYER OF THREE
Threatened His Life, Too, Says
Boy, Who Tells Lurid
Story of Crime.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, July 80.
Fear that his father might sue
coed in his next attempt to kill
him" led E. T. Brown to tell local
police that his parent, George
Brown, fifty-two years old, who was
making his home with him, was
wanted in Fayetteville for murder.
The sons information resulted in
the subsequent mcovering of a
series of alleged crimes, which may
end in the trial for a murder COM
mitted in 1888.
Reward Offered.
Word was sent to Fayetteville,
where a reward is offered for Brown
capture, that the man was under ar.
rest here and an officer was sent for
him.
At Police Headquarters here Brown
would admit nothing but that he had
jail, November. 1919. when seven.
teen other men escaped.
The story of Browns life, accord.
ing to the police, sounds like q tale
of the Far West In AZ.
The man originally came from Vir.
ginia, where he was married and lived
at Stewartsville.
In 1888, apparently without cause.
1t is declared, Brown lay behind a
barn along a road at Sandy Fork, Bed
ford county. Va, and shot and killed
Joseph Saunders. as he passed along
| the highway. his son says. The al
legged slayer of Saunders was never
known until the Charleston man
turned his father over to the police.
Deserted Wife.
| DESERVING his wife, Lucy v. Brown,
and three children, Brown came to
West Virginia. his son says, and set
tied in Nicholas county. Here he
married Ella Bays, and five children
| were born. one of them a boy, L. T.
| Brown.
Browns second crime was com
mitted at Meadow River, police say
where he shot a DIR. Walker through
the ear in 1908. The wound was not
! fatal, and no RECORD IL known az
Brown being punished.
The first sentence Brown served
was fifteen years in Moundsville In
| 1908, when he was tried and convicted
| for killing a man named Slate. al
| Redwood. Seven years later. Brown
was conditionally pardoned.
He lived at Stewartsville until his
family grew up and his daughters be
gan receiving the attentions of the
young men near their home.
