Brown, of No. 58 Tumlin street, when he was shot and killed Sunday night. Mrs. Fry resisted the efforts of the ~officers to draw from her a state ment until she was taken in an au tomobile to the scene of the murder, at Fifth and Cherry streets. Fol lowing that trip, she was confronted by the officers for some time, finally making the significant statement. Mrs. Fry would not say she fired the fatal shot, but she did not deny it when directly questiodned. She sald merely that she was with Brown, by appointment, and that after the shot was fired she went . to her home, saying nothing of the occurrence. Mrs. Fry will be the principal witness before the Coroner's jury Wednesday. Shortly following the arrest of Mrs. Martha Fry, of No. 129 West Pine street, for investigation in connection with the death of Brown, Coroner Donehoo began his inquest, which was held at 9 o'clock Tuesday in the of fices of Greenberg & Bond. A single witness was examined, Will Felton, the negro who discovered the body. Three Negroes Arrested. Abruptly, the inquest was postponed until Wednesday morning, and detectives took Felton into custody, together with Ed Morris and B. Cooper, two other negroes, and put them through a severe grill of several hours. No explanation of the sudden termination of the inquest, of the arrest of the negroes nor of their examination was made by officers. The three negroes are employed in a construction camp near the scene of the murder, and it is hinted they were aware of the shooting, having at least heard the fatal shot Sunday evening. Brown, it was plain, was shot early Sunday night, and had been dead nearly twelve hours when his body was found. One of the first discoveries of detectives was that he had been with Mrs. Fry the greater part of Sunday afternoon. There were footprints of a woman and of another man by the side of his body when the detectives began their investigation.

The Boston Braves moved to within. Of the Giants for first place in the National League race, Sla.’lings’ men defeating the Cubs this afternoon, 3 to 1, while the Giants and Cardinals were kept idle by rain. The Giants have now won 59, lost 48, for a percentage of.551. The Braves have now won 60 and lost 49, for a percentage of.550. By losing to the Braves, the Cubs, in fourth place, are now there games from the lead, while the Cards, who rank third in the list, are a few points over one game from the top. The race is certainly a corker, all first four teams have a grand chance to cop the flag. Unless rain butts in, the Braves will tackle the Cubs again tomorrow, and the Giants and Cards will probably hook up in a double header.
