DOUGLAS, Dec. 15.—At the in
quest held yesterday afternoon, new
light was shed on the murder of Babe
Brown, though the officers are still in
the dark as to the murderer. It devel
oped during the trial, that the mur
dered woman had left her husband in
San Francisco, laving a note stating
that she dd not care to live with him
any more, and left for Anchorage last
spring. She informed a neighbor,
however, of her destination, and the
husband followed her to* the new rail
W road town. On coming to Douglas, he
followed her here and was seen in her
company several times. Witnesses
testified to the fact that he was seen
m company witn a Dig, ligni-naireu
Juneau barber, and that both men had
been working at the Juneau saw mill.
The husband of the woman was de
scribed as being a man about six feet
tall, inclined to stoop, weighing about
170 pounds and very dark complex
ioned, black, wavy hair and could eas
ily be taken for a dark Slav or even
having a taint of mulatto blood.
At the opening of the hearing, Dr.
Sargent was placed on the stand and
testified to the satisfaction of the fed
eral officers conducting the case, as to
the death of the woman, already de
scribed in yesterday’s Dispatch.
A new witness on the case since the
opening of the trial was Annie Ro
mano, who contradicted the statement
^ of Fannie Miller as to the time the
Ovrdered woman was last seen. The
iler woman in Wednesday’s hearing,
stated that the blinds were drawn
about 11 o’clock and the victim was
not seen again until found dead, while
the new witness swore that she saw
Babe Brown in her door between 3
and 4 o’clock Wednesday morning. At
that hour she testified to seeing a tall
man enter the crib. He was dressed
in a plain suit of clothes, wore a soft
Fedora hat pulled low down over his
head. She was unable to see his face,
but the description of the man’s phy
sique and the hat worn, tally with the
testimony given describing the hus
band of the woman.
An important bit of evidence was
introduced by Wm. Hall, a carpenter
who lives the other side of the row
and bears out the theory of the offic
ers that the woman was killed late
Wednesday morning, and that it was
snowing at the time. He noticed
tracks leading from the house in ques
tion, which were made by about a
No. 8 rubber, and that they were fresh,
he was positive, for but little snow
had fallen in them. Hall is an old
frontiersman and involuntarily notices
such signs, stating also that these
were the only fresh tracks he noticed
that morning. All but five of the
tracks had disappeared when the an
nouncement of the murder was made.
While Fannie Miller swore that she
was on more intimate terms with the
dead woman than any of her associ
ates, she denied any knowledge of the
woman being married or a confidence
imparted at any time relative to a
man in the case. She stated, however,
that the murdered woman was often
nervous and despondent over the life
she was leading and at times spoke of
doing away with herself, having no
friends or relatives here who cared.
This testimony was mystifying and
irritating to the officers when it was
learned through the testimony of Em
ma Moore that the woman had a hus
ban, that she was often seen in his
company, and her most intimate
friend, Fannie Miller, knew nothing of
the circumstances.
Emma Moore claims to have been
boarding both the murdered woman
and the chief witness after their ar
rival here from Anchorage, and that
on one morning Babe Brown had a
man at her place for breakfast, who
she introduced as her husband with
whom she lived in San Francisco, and
that during the meal the wife did not
appear her usual self as though she
were nervous and constrained during
the man’s presence. She stated that
she saw this man several times at the
cabin of the murdered woman and that
when he appeared on the street he
took pains to pull his hat down low
and walked with a stoop, also that
when he visited the woman, he gen
erally came and went by the up hill
steps instead of walking on the main
street. After bringing the Miller wo
man back for further cross-examina
tion, the officials decided nothing fur
ther could be learned at the trial and
left the jury to return a verdict, which
follows:
“We, the jury, sworn at the coro
ner’s inquest, on Dec. 13, ldl<>, at
Douglas, Alaska, to inquire into the
death of Babe Brown, and the cause
thereof, find that said deceased came
to her death from blows inflicted on
the head with some blunt instrument,
such as a hammer, and from wounds
inflicted on her face and throat with
some sharp instrument such as a knife,
said wounds having been inflicted by
some person unknown to the jury, that
the crime of murder was then and
there committed by said unknown per
son.

THE DARCY MILL
(Patent Applied For)
The Darcy Mill is designed to meet the need of the mine owner and
prospector who wants to develop his own mine or open up ore bodies with
a view of disposing of the property, to work rich stringers of pav ore
to mill and ship concentrates or to try out a property before purchasing
—at as low a cost as possible.
is hot » toy mill or a makeshift in any way but a mill constructed
on scientific principles and equal in efficiency as any stamp of the same
w-eight. The 2000 pound mill lias two stamps of 325 pounds each and drop
at 110 blows per minute for each stamp. The number of blows and the
force of the drop can be increased very easily by placing springs on the
stamp stems or the weight of the blow he increased with additional
weights, which we furnish when necessary.
It occupies a space 4x4 feet; no piece weighs over 100 pounds, and is
easy to move, pack, or set up, and uses less power and less repairs than
any other. The frame, battery blocks, etc., are made of Washington Hr.
strongly bolted with rods to stand all strains; guides have large wearing
surfaces; in fact the mill is so constructed that any one can handle it
satisfactorily. Shoes and dies are of special hard iron with'chilled faces
screens easily removed—the whole front and back can be removed so as
to get at the shoes and dies. Tappets arranged to clamp on a screw
thread so that the wear can be easily taken up. No expensive machine
work to pay for in repairs, in fact everything about the mill is simple'
compact and durable.
It is the simplest mill to start your mine with, as it is an easy mat
ter to add two or four more stamps or to increase the output by adding
the extra weights without any alterations in the mill.
We can furnish the complete mill or just the iron work, or lease them
to responsible parties if they show us their properties are O K We -an
furnish engines, concentrators, copper plates, rock crushers, jigs, tables
etc., at market prices. /
A vast amount of ore could be put on the market by using one small
mill for coarse crushing and jig the pulp, which will save the coarse
metals and get rid of the lightest, and the middlings recrushed in another
small mill and this pulp run over concentrators or tables. This plan will
enable a lot of low grade ores to be worked at a profit which it is impos
sible to do in any other way.
Write us if you have such properties or if you wish further particulars.

MASCOT OF WESTERN FRONT
DIGS HIMSELF IN FOR WINTER
LONDON, Dec. 1.—(By Mail)—
When it comes to living in dugouts on
the western battle front “Kitchener,”
bruin mascot of a certain western Ca
nadian battalion, is right at home to
day.
Recently crimpy weather began to
announce the approach of winter.
“Kitch,” as per instinct, began to
show the boys something about the
1 real art of digging. Before many
; days he had dug himself in beyond
i the deepest range of the heaviest
! shell. The work seemed to create a
voracious appetite and “Kitch,” heavy
i eyes, finally came to the surface for
a final look around. Then with a
sniff he disappeared. Now while his
battalion shivers, “Kitch” is sleeping
peacefully the long winter months

WJren “Kitch” awakes in the spring
his friends may have gone far away.

FIGHT OVER ENFORCEMENT
OF DRY AMENDMENT
| LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 18.—With the
! convening of the Nebraska legisla
! ture’s thirty-fifth session here Janu
ary 2, interest will center on the wet
| and dry line-up and the legislative
I battle for laws to make effective the
! dry amendment passed by almost 30,
000 majority at the recent election.
The wets, realizing that prohibi
tion would carry, centered their fight
toward the last on winning enough
members of the legislature to block,
if possible, passage of laws aimed to
make prohibition effective.
The drys have a slight majority in
the house. In the senate the majority
of the members are personally wet,
but of the thirty-three members, six
are known as “law-enforcements.”
These are men who before election ad
mitted that they were personally not
in favor of prohibition but would be
governed as legislators by the verdict
of the people on the prohibition
amendment. These “law-enforce
ments” combined with the drys out
number the out-and-out wets in the
senate.
