HUSBAND OF
‘BABE' MOM
(Juneau Dispatch)
The running down of the brute who
perpetrated the horrible murder of
“Babe” Brown, the woman of the
Douglas restricted district Wednes
day, at her crib in the island town,
continues unabated by the federal and
municipal officers of this city and
Douglas. Every possible clue is be
ing unraveled to apprehend the mur
derer of this unquestionably one of
the most atrocious crimes yet or ever
to be recorded in criminal history.
The woman when found was lying
across her bed with her skull broken
open in several places, her face and
throat cut deep with ugly, gaping
wounds.
The first arrest was made yester
day. It was of Harry Againsky, the
Polish Jew husband of “Babe” Brown,
the murdered woman. He is booked
at the federal jail on the charge of
murder. Againsky is remaining si
lent, refusing to make a statement ex
cept to deny his guilt.
Againsky was arrested by Deputy
U. S. Marshal Manning, and quickly
taken to the federal jail, where he
was searched, description recorded,
and sent to a cell. He refused during
the day to make a statement on ad
vice of his attorney, he said. He did,
just about dinner time confide to a
deputy U. S. marshal that he was
heartbroken over the death of his
wife. He declared his love for her and
desired to bear as much as possible of
the funeral expenses. He also asked
permission to attend the funeral.
It develops Againsky consulted a
Juneau attorney prior to his arrest
and the; day following the discovery
of the berime. This attorney, whose
name is withheld at his request, ad
vised him of his rights under the law,
and arranged to defend him when ar
rested. The attorney is not prepared
to make a statement at this time, but
said to a reporter late last night that
circumstances warranted the arrest
of Againsky but he would be able to
prove at the proper time his inno
cence of the crime.
The United States marshal’s office
reported last night they were unable
to locate where Againsjcy had been

-gaa.66 BEWigg
For information that will lead to the
discovery of a trunk and suitcase both
marked H. L. In black letters. On suit
case was tag with full address of own
er. Supposed was sent in September,
1915 from Pioneer Hotel, Knlk, to Susit
na Station. Notify U. S. Marshal, Tal
kec/tna.157
residing. At one time he was employ
ed at Treadwell but it is not known
the exact date when he left there. It
may have been after the murder or
it may have been before.
Againsky was very nervous when
first placed under arrest, and the
: marshal’s office last night claimed it
was from grief over the fate of his
wife rather than from fear.
Other bits of evidence now in the
possession of the officers may develop
j startling revelations today,
j What a great aid the Bertillon sys
j tern would be in the apprehension of
criminals in this territory. Finger
prints were plainly discernible on the
walls and furnishings of the cabin
: occupied by the murdered woman,
i Now, if a record had been kept of fin
ger prints of all prisoners, suspicious
persons, and others, how easily could
: the person who committed this foul
I crime be traced and apprehended,
i This brings us again to the ques
! tion of the lack of any provisions
1 whatsoever for the apprehension of
criminals. While it would cost some
thing to maintain bertillon records,
| employ detectives, launches, blood
| hounds, and other agencies in detect
j ing and apprehending criminals,
| surely the amount necessary for such
: purposes would be well spent, con
! sidering the many terrible crimes
i committed, in a majority of which the
i perpetrators have not been brought
i to the bar of justice.
The bowling tournament on the
Robarts alleys is creating a great
deal of interest and enthusiasm is at
a high pitch. All the entries are out
after the silver trophy and while the
14th infantry team have the edge at
the present time the other teams are
rapidly rounding into form and it is
a hard guess on the winner. The first
; round of the games has been bowled
1 and each match has drawn a good siz
ed crowd of spectators and support
ers. In addition to the trophy other
prizes of material value will be
i awarded to the member of each team
making the high score and the high
average during the tournament also
the high individual score and average
of the tournament. Efforts will be
made to get another match with Sew
ard and the best bowlers of the dif
ferent teams entered will be entered
to represent Anchorage:
