But Brown did not heed the call, for the time set by her was Friday night, and he was killed Satur day morning. The two anonymous letters and three others are in the possession of Mrs. Brown. From theYorkville Yeoman we clip the following further ac count: The night after Brown was killed two men drove to his house in the absence of the family and tried to force an entrance. It is now believed that they were two of Bratton's friends trying to secure the letters written by Mrs. Bratton to Brown, for since that time an anonymous letter in the handwriting of Mrs. Bratton has been received by Mrs. Brown, urging her to send the letters from her home, or she would be killed by desperate persons try ing to get them. Monday Mtb. Brown, escorted by a squad of police officers, took the five letters to tho Rock Hill bank and deposited them there. She was afraid to go alone. Mrs. Brat ton claims, in one of her letters to Brown, that on Friday morning she was made to confess the whole truth and sign away her property at the point of a pistol in the hands of her husband. The Messrs. Brat ton have re tained lion. W. B. de Loach, VV. W. Lewis, W. B. McCaw, and T. F. McDow, of Yorkville, and W. B. Wilson, of Rock Hill, as attor neys ; and we are informed that Congressman Fin ley hae tendered his services and that same has been accepted.

For the families of those who have been affected by the tragic events, we have the profoundest sympathy ; public sympathy has been deeply moved and goes out to him whoso home can no longer be called such and to the inno cent widow and orphans, whose inheritance is an unwitting portion in the terrible tragedy. Had Bratton killed Brown on the night he found him at bis house, we think there would be little criticism of the act. As it is, there is doubt and division ol opinion that can only be definitely settled when the mystery shall have been cleared in court. Brown was born and raised at the little village of Alnwick, in Northumberland, north of England about 30 miles north of Newcastle and about the same distance south of Berwick, which is only a few miles from the Scot land line. , Alnwick is a little nliiPA ftf nnlvr qIy f tinnoo rwl oai.Io J J lying on the Aln river and practically within sight*of the North sea.
