toned him about it. Brown is alleged
to have admitted to her to have taken
part in the murder with another man,
whom the police say has since died.

investigation after Mrs. Brown had
told police officials about her hus-

that she planned to apply to the dis

husband for his alleged brutal treat
ment.

Mrs Brown had discolored face and
bruised arms. the result of her hus-
bands attacks, she stated and freely
discussed the alleged confession re-
garding the murder of the saloon
keeper.

Brown, that they often heard him in
his stable at night, while putting his
horse away, mention the name of Reid
and make use of remarks suggesting
he was afraid of being harmed by
some one by the name of Reid.

year. the detectives hoping they would
be able to fasten the crime on him.
