ROSE'S STRANCE TALE.
Did Brown Confess That a Crime
Was Premeditated ?-1tose Look-
ed on the Plot to Murder Mrs.
Brown as a Huge Joke -A Bar-
rister Tells What Be KnOWS.
CoRingwood fdespatcb : On.e of the
etrangest stories ever told in a Cana-
dian court was related here to -day
by John. Rose, an aged insurance
agent, at the preliminary investi-
gation into the charge against W.
H. Brown, of conspiracy to murder
his mother. Tile etory in brief, was
that Brown, who is a fireman, in
the waterwork.s and electric light
etation, approached him with a pro-
posal to remove Brown's aged moth-
er and divide $1,5.00 insurance on
iler life between them. Rose immedi-
ately- detected to assume the part of
a detective, save the old lady's life
and make the would-be murderer pay
him $200 for his troable. As -thecae
shear or the unnatural son's discom-
fiture Rose Deranged to taket the,
-old -lady to Toronto, jest that her
son might be persuaded to go to
the depot and kiss her good-bye for
the last time that be would see her
In this life. Brown refused to go;
he put up only ine0 or the $200, and
$11 of that Bose spent on old Mrs.
Bletvn, neat tbe. whole plan proved
abortive. Bose told the eourt he
thought he kliouLl be commende.1 for
eis share In the affair.
The hearing was before Magistrate
Neetleton. County Crown Attorney
Cotton, of Barrie. represente.i the
Crown, and Mr. Julio Beenie, K. C.,
appeare1 for the prisoner Brown.
Mr. MeBraille, ol Toronto. wale pre -
Keit to guard the nitereette of Itoee.
The tOurtreOni wile co -reeled to the
cheer& „
fe Mr. Antires,• lifeid's Story.
Mr. AUerey Toni. a eating barristi r.
works. Be hail not men Brown for
years, but be went clown that af-
ternoon. The prisoner, when be saw
him, said be bad backed out of what
he had wanted to tell him, bat Rose
was curious and wanted to lower,
and after considerable pressure the
prisoner said; "You know there is a
policy on the old woman's life, and
It will ran mit soon," Tim witness
had told him it bad lapsed over a
year ago. 13e had been inquiring
about it at the office in Toronto
anti had been told that he bad paid
only two years, and green his note
for the third year, and had not paid
It. Brown had said he had paid three
year' preminme and given his note
for the fourth. The witness told him
if that were so the policy did not ex-
pire till December .2nd. I said "What
do you want to do about it ?" con-
tinued the witness.
He said: "Can't we get her out of
the road before that ?"!
I sold: "I don't know what yore
mean; you don't mean to kill her ?"
and he sale "Yes,, I mean to kill her;
sho has $1,500 on her life. I'll packet
$1,000 and you'll pocket $500."
I thought that by saving her life
It would be worth a coneiderable
amount of money, and I made up my
mind I would get $200 out or Brown.
I made sure he was in earnest. The
witneesi went on and told how, when
he aeked Drown how be proposed to
dispose of his mother, tho prisoner
said it we.eld cost only a dollar to
drive her -to the Nottnevasaga River,
get her lo go out on a. log to look
at the fiele and push Me in. Tbe
witness suggested poison Instead,
and said it would have to be pur-
chased in Detroit.
Brown Loa's the alones.
Then, to Fee if Brown was In earn-
est, he said he wonid want $50 for
expenses. BTOWD said he hadn't it.
and the witnees gradually lowered
the amount, $40, $30, $20. and the
prisoner said lie would give $10. The.
wItnees said it did not seem peosible
that a man couid piot to kill Ids
own mother, but when the prisoner
proposed to pita $10 he icueir. Ime
meaat it. Ho told Brown. that
would be just a starter, that be
would rico] at ]eat $200. The
pricsoner told 11101 to go to the post -
office the next 'lay at half -pest 11,
and he went awl got an envelope
with $10 in it. Anothir time he gave
bine $10 In lin envy:epee The wit -

SHOT DUD
BY SENTRY.
Striker Was Loitering Near
Scene of Dynamiting,
Tamaqua., Pa., Oct. 11. -,Tae. Burn-
ham, a striker, was shot au a tnslant-
ly killed by a soldier on gua.rd duty
at Brownsville, near here, early this
morning. The Nape is the scene of
several dynamiting outrages, and
Burnham Is said to have been loiter-
ing in the vicinity of a noneunionistni
house, which was partly destroyed by
en explosion last weak. The soldier
celled upon 33urnliam to halt, and
this order is said to have been disre-
garded. Thereupon the sentry fired,
and Burnham fell dead in his tracks,
with a bullet through his heart.
What 511a:hell Counts on.
Mr. Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers, holds that the suppression
of violence and intimidation in the
neigliborhood of the mines. will inake
little or no difference; that there
are few qualified miners, union or
non-union, who wish to go to work.
In this opinion they aro in flat op-
position to the operators. It it were
not for the State law requiring every
miner to hold a license shotving that
he had served two years' appreetice-
ellip a ad passed an examination, there
would be no question of the opera-
tor& ability to resume work under
protection. As things stand there Is
a question. Meanwhile the public can
only wait and hope for a speedy set-
tlement of some bind that will let
coal come to empty bins.

fields in Pennsylvania, which had

Was executed. There was also no
reference to collections to be made
by the company from the miners
for any purpose except the expenses
of the miners' representatives. Yet
the union wanted the company to
compel its men to pay strike as-
sessments by deducting them weak-
ly from wages, and paying them
over to the union.
• The company did agree to make
such deduction where the miners In
writing authorized it, and even
furnished the union with blank or-
ders for the men's signatures:
Some of the miners refused to sign
and the union practically said,
"'Make them pay or we'll strike,"
and did so.
