BY ARCH STEINEL

NASHVILLE, Ind, March 17.-Like
the "once-upon-a-ti time" of the lady
from Timbuctoo who met a sergeant
Of the Foreign Legion in Algiers and
who had a cousin in Afghanistan
who told him that the washerWonl-
ans son of New York millionaire
told his milkman that the great
aunt of Chicago gangster whis-
pered to--like this does rumor and
tales fly regarding the murder mys-
terry on the farm Of Lee Brown.
Monday, Prosecutor Howard Rob-
inson of Franklin, received a tele-
phone call that a skirt believed to
be that of Mrs. Brown had been
found in the farm home ruins.
Skirt Clew Valueless
The message was relayed to the
state fire marshals office. Virgil
Quinn, deputy state fire marshall,
went to Nashville. He found that
the piece of goods might have been
lying on the farm for several years
or several days.
Natives of Brown county joke
about the rumors prevalent and give
them added roll with verbal shoves.
Purported indictments, purported
radio bulletins, purported arrests,
are banded as facts until pinned
down as fabrications.
Every visitor to Nashville is eyed
with the comment, another one
going out to the Brown farm"
Inclement weather has hindered
thorough search of the farm.
Search Reveals Trinkets
A party of Searchers headed by
John F. Wright, deputy prosecuting
attorney, dug into the ruins Mon
day. They uncovered valueleSS
household trinkets such as sewing
shears and tweezers.
Possibility that third body may
be found at the farm is seen If
wooded land and gulleys near the
RACED home are examined.
Quinn said several angles in the
mystery were being Investigated and
that his report would not be COM
pleted for some time.
Quinn returned to Indianapolis
Monday night but it expected back
in Nashville the latter part of the
week.
