(Juneau Dispatch)
DOUGLAS, Dec. 14.—One of the
worst crimes committed in the historj
of Douglas Island was revealed yes
terday afternoon a few minutes afte
one o’clock when the body of “Babe”
Brown, one of the women of the un
derworld, was found in her little
three-room cabin with her head crush
ed in by a blunt instrument and her
throat cut with a knife.
About one o’clock Fannie Miller, a
friend .of the murdered woman, began
to wonder why the curtains of the
cabin were still drawn, as the woman
was an early riser, and the curtains
had been drawn since 11 o'clock the
night before. Knocking on her doors
and windows brought no response, so
Frank Costomobile, a man often em
ployed around the district, was ap
pealed to and told to force the door
if he could. He forced open the kitch
en door and stepped back, the friend
of the murdered woman then going to
the bed room. On opening the bed
room door, she gave a loud scream of
murder, for the bed, floors and walls
were spattered with blood.
Deputy Marshal Frank Bach was
immediately telephoned to who, upon
arriving at the cabin, found the
body partly wrapped in a blanket, the
head being crushed on each temple
with a blunt instrument, a knife
wound leading from the bridge of the
nose to tile brain and the throat bad
ly cut.
After notifying Coroner Henson of
the crime, the officers began investi
gations for possible clues to the mur
derer. Behind the dresser was found
a brand new machinist’s hammer, cov
ered with blood from one end to the
other and a towel upon which the cold
blooded fiend had wiped his hands.
The knife evidently used on the nose
and throat, has not been found. The
evidence of the room showed but little
confusion, and the murderer evident
ly struck his victim with the hammer,
after which he used the knife. A
wash pan, half full of bloody water
and the towel used, furnish conclusive
proof that the foul deed was fiendish
ly and cold bloodedly executed and
planned.
At the coroner’s inquest, Fannie
Miller stated that the murdered wom
! an had no enemies that ^he knew of,
though she knew her but slightly, hav
ing come here from Anchorage about
three months ago, where she was
known as Jennie Kline.
Doctor Sargent, who was immedi
ately called on the case, stated before
the jury that death resulted from the
blunt instrument used, that while the
throat was badly cut, the jugular
veins were not severed and little blood
had come from the throat. On the
right side of the temple the skull was
crushed as though the heavy part of
the hammer had been used, while on
the left side a smaller wound was
made as though the hammer had
been reversed. The knife wound on
the nose, the doctor stated, had
pierced the brain, and would alone
have resulted in death. Several
wounds from the hammer were also
made on the breast. While life had
been extinct for some time upon the
doctor’s arrival, the blood was still
warm and uncongealed near the body
wrapped with the blankets and it is
the opinion of the doctors as well as
the officers that the crime was com
mitted some time during the early
hours of yesterday morning.
While the purses found in the
rpom were empty and a motive of rob
bery could be easily ascribed, the offi
cers have other valuable clues which
they would not disclose, hoping there
by to fasten the guilt. upon the mur
derer, they are of the opinion 'that the
woman possibly had a visitor who had
an old grudge to settle and that the
hammer had been bought purposely
for motives of revenge and murder.
The Treadwell company and other
hardware departments were phoned
the description of the hammer upon
which there is a number, and there is
a chance of tracing the murderer
through the sale of it.
Not until 6 o’clock last night did
the coroner’s jury decide to adjourn
for further evidence and will return a
verdict after convening at 1 o’clock
this afternoon.
The body of the woman was taken
to the H. V. Sully undertaking par
lors last evening. She was a woman
i about 30 years of age and a Russian
1 Pole by birth.
