WIFE SLAYER IN JAIL AT HOMER
______
Bartow Brown Removed to Clai-
borne Prison Owing To Repairs
Being Made On Local Prison
______
Bartow Brown, who last week slew his wife at their home just beyond the city's limits, is now confined in the Claiborne parish jail at Homer. This action was taken on account of repairs being made on the parish jail here. The prevailing opinion, apparently, is that Brown is demented and not responsible in a reasonable degree for his act.

The law firm of Drew and Drew has been retained by Brown as counsel. No preliminary hearing has been asked for, and the whole matter may await the action of the grand jury when it convenes.

In Memory of Mrs.
Bartow Brown
______
The Signal is in receipt of a letter from a friend of the late Mrs. Bartow Brown:

Mrs. Bartow Brown, whose tragic death occurred on December 10th was buried at Pine Grove Friday evening, Rev. W.F. O'Kelley officiating.

Mrs. Brown was a kind, unselfish, industrious wife, mother and friend and neighbor. For years she had borne her double share of toil and responsibility. Never complaining, always performing the many tasks in and around the farm home. She had put out the family washing, prepared the noon meal for her husband and boarder, put her kitchen in order and was busy about the kitchen when she was murdered. Mr. Brown who had been frail in mind as well as body, for more than two years, had lately depended on Mrs. Brown to perform not a part, but all of the many tasks. She was strong physically. She was devoted t the two daughters, and little grandchildren and the terrible tragedy and grief that has come into their lives has caused the sympathy of every one who knew them.

A mother is gone
Center of our affection
Gone to the Savior on high
Where she will no longer need our protection Help us to be patient and our anguish suppress Knowing that the Savior will give her perfect rest Rest from earthly labor, from toil, heart aches unspoken May we meet our loving mother In that our beautiful world Where joy forever reigns And sorrow is unspoken.
