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
