Brown, who served II years for man
slaughter and was paroled in 1915,
is now back at West Athens. After
the death of William Knights, the
widow married Andrew WEIGH OF Ca
naan. Nelson Eugene Knights has
two brothers, Dennis Knights Of West
Athens and Ed Knights of Canaan.
The murdered man Is said to have
been a quiet citizen, minding his own
affairs. He was the son OF Martin

ers, George, Martin and Wesley Cor

the LONELINESS of his features ana

anything in the story or style OF pro-

Ince both directed and played the
nr,ncipal role of this Lewis Allen
browne story and he has turned out
a production that will be as appro-

cd his elder brother to take care of
her and had kept his word until one
day he was prevented by circumstan-
ces beyond his control. In order
to keep his vows he disregards all
man made laws and makes his way
to the little gray haired old lady.

to suffer disgrace and death when his
case is acc'dently brought before the
