following coroner's inquest was
held for the February term of court.
The funeral of Pickett consisted
of six carriages, one buggy and
several sleighs and was viewed
curiously from vantage points along
the street. The body was removed
to his late residence and taken
charge of by the woman who had
been his housekeeper - Ann Ross.
However, the funeral took place
from the home of his mother.
Browns trial began on Tuesday,
March l, 1887, before jury, with
Judges A. K. Syester and Ernest
Hoffman presiding. The jury was
composed of the following men: AL
bertus Spencer, foreman; David C.
Byers, William Chrissinger, George
B. Cearfoss, Jacob M. Hykes, Jacob
Lakin, Andrew J. Harsh, William
Knodle, John M. Freise, James Fisk,
A. c. Yost and Charles d. Knepper.
The first six men were of the regu-
lar panel while the others were
talismen. The case went to the
jury at 2:30 p. m. on the second day
of the trial, and at Ills the follow
ing afternoon verdict of acquittal
was returned, the jury reaching
verdict on the 18th ballot.
Pickett was quite a character
about town, having been in trouble
before. The records show that in
1879 he was sent to the Maryland
Penitentiary for one of his numer-
Gus infractions of the law. AS he
left Hagerstown he was ''dolled" up
in Prince Albert coat, striped
trousers and high silk hat. Three
years later he was pardoned by
Governor William T. Hamilton.
AS to Brown: He was born near
Del, and was reared
At Oxford, Chester county, Pa. Fol-
owing the death of his parents he
and his brother came in possession
If small farm in Indian Spring
district. They had sold this farm,
md it was a part of his share of the
money that Brown accused Pickett
If stealing from him. During the
Christmas Holidays Immediately
preceding the tragedy, he had been .
taying at the American House,
which at that time was on the south
vest corner of Franklin and Walnut
treets. While spoken of by those

Brown was tremendously

sYNTHETICs TROUBLESOME

New York.-Buses and trucks
will run into plenty of trouble when
forced to use synthetic rubber tires,
DR.. r. P. Dinsmore, of Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co, declared in an
address here. Autos travelling less
than 40 miles per hour viii fare
better he said. The difficulty lies
in the fact that under heat condi-
tons arising from fast operation,
synthetic rubber loses 35 per cent
of its stretching and two-thirds Of
its tensile strength, as well as 60
per cent of its resistance to wear
ing. Natural rubber loses nothing
except third of its tensile strength.
DR.. Dinsmore said this means that
synthetic rubber truck tires will
not last nearly as long as those of
natural rubber and more frequent
replacement will be needed.

cas- RACKET DENOUNCED

Washington and counter
feiting of gasoline ration coupons
has developed into a "big racket"
and must be smashed, largely by
the public, Chester Bowles, OPA
administrator, asserted in radio
address. He said there has been
some success against counterfeiting
of gasoline ration coupons, with
FBI smashing three large counter
feiting rings.
The second source of black mar
kets is robbery from ration boards
and filling stations. He said cou-
pons for more than 100000 gal
Ions of gasoline have been stolen
from 173 local boards. He said I'm
less these rackets were stopped
civilian rations might have to be
reduced further
He stated that More than three
fourths of every ten gallons pro
duced east of the Rocky mountains
goes to our armed forces, and on
the Pacific coast four of every ten
gallons" He said these amounts
might be increased as the war ex-
tended in scope and intensity.
