Did lie Sn!oido? Or Was James Brown the Victim of Foul Play. GOVERNMENT DETECTIVES NOW AT WORK ON THE CASK:, BLYTu, Jan. 18. -(Special.) -The residents of this section of Huron County, and especially the farming community, are aroused to a high pitch of interest over the death of Jas. Brown, a young farmer of Mul- lett township, which took place on July 31st, 1897. The event did not at the time excite more than a local interest, because, although the roan's death was of itself a tragedy, it was not, at the tithe thought that the cause was clue to anything but suicide. Recent inci- dents, however, in connection with the affair have caused. a widespread feel- ing of unrest among the neighbors, and have led to the opening of an in- vestigation by the Attorney -General's Department, with a view to ascertain- ing what foundation, if any, exists for the rumors which have by this time have become so common. Within the past inspector MuriLy,of the Criminal investigation Department, has visited Blyth, and •his 'interview- ed .many of those who aright be sup- posed to know something of the cir- cumstances. What the results of his enquiries have been is, of course, not known,. but is unlikely that the case will be allowed to rest until all specu- lation r'egardi'ng it has been quieted. The facts are as follows: -James Brown, aged 38, lived until last July on his !arra, riot far from here, with his wife and four children. He was fairly prosperous, having an insurance of 51000 on his life, and a comfortable living from his property. He was a fine-looking man, about six feet in height, and weighing over 180 pounds. With hirn lived his hired man, Albert Haggitt, a man of about 28 years, shorter of stature, and less preposses- sing, it is said, in agpearance. It is stated here that between Haggitt and Mrs. Brown a friendship sprang up, which Brown himself regarded with anything but favour, and this or other causes, led to Raggitt's dismissal on the last day of July of • last year. Brown told the man, on the morning of that day; that he !oust leave, and Haggitt left accordingly. . AT HIS F'ATIIER'S FARM. Brown's -father owns a farm 11bo(11 a mile from where Brown lived, and near the village of Londesbor'ongb, and after dismissing the oni, Brown took a horse, and went over there to work, leaving his wife at home. Ile remained there all clay, working in, t he field, and during the afternoon Hag- gitt came over there, and 'e mined fur a while, going then to the had in the village, where he is said to have had some drinks. Previous"to going there, however, he went back to Brow 1 's place in his absence, where he saw and conversed for a considerable time with Mrs. Brown, his alleged rensceu for go- ing back being seine tobacco which Brown's brother, he said, watt to have left for hint. 1Vhile at the elder Brown's farm, Hagg:t t saw and con, versed with his ex -employer, but, it is not known that any words `of anger passed between theca. LAST SF(N OF HIM. At eight o'clock in the evening Brown left his father's to return home, having with him his horse and his sec- ond child, a girl of about eight years old. On his wary he had to pass through a belt of bush ; he is known to have en- tered the bush, and that wats the last seen alive of him by any of his neigh- bour's. It is, however, stated that at or about the same time in the evening Haggitt and Mrs. 13i own were seen ap- proaching the bush from different di- rections, whether by chance or not, or for what purax)se is not apparent. FOUND DEAD NEXT DAY. Next morning the neighborhood was shocked by the discovery that Brown had been found by lois wife hanging to a beam in a stall of his barn, quite dead. The discovery was made by Mrs. Brown, who called in two neigh- bors, a Mr. (tole and a Mr. Philips, to see the body. When these gentlemen reached the barn the body was not hanging from the beam but was lying on the floor, the rope still round his neck, and death having apparently been caused by strangulation. It ap- peared evident. that the unhappy man had, in a fit of despondency, taken this means of ending his life. MRS. BROWN'S STORY. Mrs. Brown, in answer to the queries of the excited neighhors, told her story. She said that Mr. Brown had returned during the evening from his father's and the family had retired at the usual hour. At . about four o'clock in the morning, she continued, her husband arose, and left the house. She remained in bed for an- other hour, and then got up, and did some housework; she then went out to milk the cows, and was taking a pail of milk into the barn when, In the in- creasing light of the Morhing, she saw Brown's body hanging from the beau:!. She put away the milk, and going over to her" husband's body, caught hold of the rope -end, and cull- ed, thus releasing a slip knot by which it was fastened, and letting the body down to the floor. This being done, and finding life evidently extinct, she went to arouse the two neighbours, who came to her assistance. A DOCTOR CALLED IN. Being themselves unable to do any- thing, Mr. Cole remained, in charge of the body, which was not allowed to be moved, and Mr. Phillips went for Dr. Agnew, of Londesborough, who at once went out to the scene of the tra- gedy. It was then found that rigor mortis had set in, and that the man had evidently been dead for several hours. This fact hardly accorded with the theory that be had only left his bed at four o'clock, and Mrs. Brown, it is stated, did not stand by her re- collection of the time, when further questioned, said that she could not he positive of the time when her bus - band had arisen; nor was there any other evidence available on the point, the children having been asleep, and Haggitt having left the pretnises the day before. A PERFUNCTORY INQUEST. Coroner Milne, however decided to hold an inquest, and empanelled a jury, but by seine oversightlthe county at- torney was not notified of it, and was not present when the evidence was taken. From what can be learned here the inquest was merely perfunc- tory in its character, it apparently Having been taken for granted that the case was one of suicide. At the in - durst beth Mrs. Brown and IIaggit.t testified, the fanner repeating her story substantially as above given, and the hatter swearing that on the night in question he had been at his father's place some d istance. away. MARKS ON THE BODY. A post-numtein was also ordered, and wits made by Dr. Agnew, of Londes- borough, and Dr. Tait, of Blyth. An examination showed that Brown bore on his temple a mat k such as might have been made by a heavy blow with 't hammer, or by a wrench such as was found lying in the barn. On the back of the hills, also, was a large bruise, and yet others on the army and wrists while the legs were unmarked by con- tusions of any kind. It was at one time proposed that the head and skull should be opened in order to see ,whe- ther the blew on the temple, if such it was, had had any serious or fatal re- sults, but the suggestion was ultimate- ly rejected, and the evidence of the physicians was all in favor of the sui- cide theory. The jury accordingly brought in a verdict of death by st rangulation, and the body was buried. IIAGGITT TAKEN BACK. Thus, for the tittle, the affair was closed. Shortly afterwards Haggitt cavae hack to Mt s. Brown, who still re- mained on the farm, and resumed his position as hired mann. Ilis influence with the widow, it is alleged, grew daily, and, as the matter was exciting a good deal of comment, Mrs. Brown •was induced, it is said by her mother, to once more discharge him. Again he was taken hack, and remained with Mrs. Brown on the farm as hired man until last fall, when the widow held a sale, and realized upon the property which had corse to her from her husband. She then went to live with her father and mother, whose nitrite is Crawford, and who are also farmer's in the sante vicinity. She had been paid the $1,000 of insurance on her late husband's life, and this, with the money from the sale, gave her quite a good suit) on which to live. Haggitt also remained in the neigh- borhood. IIAGGITT GOES TO THE STATES. This state of affairs continued un- til recently, when the former rumors again revived, and some of the neigh- bours suggested an investigation into Brown's death. Then one day, an item appeared in a Clintpn paper to the effect that Chief inspector Murray 'had been seen in the vicinity. This (ltd not happen to be true, hut on the fol- lowing day Haggitt left the country, and is DOW in' the United. States. A' request for an investigation was sent (0 Toronto, and Mr. Murray 0.1(1110 np last week. The future action of the department will doubtless depend on the nature of his report. WANT AN EXHUMATION. The present, excitement in this neighborhood is no dogbt due to the fact that the post-mlartemL on Brown's hod was inc1urplcte. Dr. Tait, is quot- ed as ha\ ing said that the blow 011 the head was sufficient to hays produced insensibility, and the people feel that, consideration ,Of expense should not be allowed to stand in the way of a complete investigation of this and ether facts connected with the affair. It is hoped that the department will order an exhumation of the body at once, ars by this means it would be possible to settle speedily the un- comfortable feeling which at present exists. THE CORONER'S STORY. Coroner Mile, who held the inquest. on Brown's body, was interviewed by a representative of The Mail and Em- pire this evening. 1-te heard of the death of Brown from 1)r. Agnew, of Londesborough, who drove into Blyth to ask hint to come and inspect the remains. Dr. Agnew had been called in almost its soon as the body was found. The coroner Went to the farts, and saw the body lying in the barn, and it presented all the evidences of strangulation. The throat was blackened, and narked with the rope ; the tongue was pro- truding to the furthest extent, and all the minor indications were present. He had never seen Brown before, but found him a big, strapping fellow, six feet in height. Dr. Agnew, told him that he had been attending Brown for about three months for a sort of men- tal ailment. He had been up and about, but had done no work for, months until the day before his death. He could not eat, and could not sleep, and Dr. Agnew stated that it appear- ed to he a chronic case of melancholia with hirn. Brown was forever talking about the mortgage on his farm, anal frequently expressed the fear that 'he would never be out of debt. • Coron- er Milne also ascertained that Brown's mother was insane, and that his bro- thers were supposed to be soft ; he therefore concluded that Brown had committed suicide, and decided to hold no inquest. He found a slight bruise on the temple, which he at- tributed to a blow received in the man's death struggle. Brown, it was said, had been found hanging in the middle of a horse -stall, with his head close up to the beats from which he (Continued on page 5.) Mid �;nrer .
