NIGER
KILLED AT
WENATCHEE

Picked up at the corner of Palouse
street and Wenatchee avenue by chief
of police C. L. Peterson at 9 O'Clock
last Friday night, Alonzo Brooks, 25
years old, a negro, is in the county jail
charged with the murder of Joe Reed
colored. The murder occurred in
shacktown at l o'clock Friday after
noon.
After hiding from the officers all
afternoon, at dusk Brooks came up
town to get something to eat. Ac-
cording to his story to the officers he
went to see his former employer,
Robert Jackson, proprietor of the
jackson shine shop, who advised him
to give himself up. At Brooks re-
quest, Jackson telephoned the police.
A preliminary hearing probably
will be given Brooks within day or
two, said Deputy Prosecutor Frank
Lebeck Saturday morning. Brooks
will be tried en- a charge of first de-
gree murder.
Saturday morning Brooks was ia
ken by the officers to the scene of the
crime, and re-traced the route of his
escape, where two guns were picked
up, one of which Brooks admitted was
his own, while the other, he asserted,
had belonged to Reed.
According to the story told police,
Reed had arrived in Wenatchee Oct.
from Wilson Creek, where he had
been working. He met Brooks, and
the two We're together the afternoon
and night of October 5. Reed was
drinking and was lavish with his mon
ey, finally asking Brooks to take care
of it for him. Later he took his roll
back, Brooks says, and when it was
gone, accused him of stealing part of
his money. Brooks denied it but
Reed persistently reiterated the ac-
cusation, he says.
Late Friday morning Brooks was
