concerning her firtt husband. "I have
nothing to tay.
Following , hit marriage to the
pretty little 18 y car-old i'earl Shan
blm in 1916, Brown started to buy a
little home at Twenty-sixth and
Blondo street. He owned a team
worth $500 and hauled coal for a
living. With hit bride, rt went to
'church every Sunday, according to
Kev. Sir. bavidge.
Returned to Prison.
Five months after hit marriage,
liowevcr, at he wat driving hit coal
wagon patt Twenty-fourth and Cum
ing ttreett, a former Iowa state
convict saw him, recognized him at
a former fellow convict who had
violated hit parole from the Iowa
prison where he had been serving a
term as a horse ruttler.
He called a policeman who
dragged Brown down from his
wagon and Brown was returned to
the Iowa prison.
An Iowa prison worker named
Lampman, who had become intereit
ed in Brown's case, worked further
with the parole board until he suc
ceeded in getting Brown paroled to
Rev. Mr. Savidge a year later,
. Parole Ends.
Brown protested to Mr. Savidge
he never had stolen horses and that
his incarceration was a "frameup."
He returned to Omaha and hia fam
ily, resumed his church going and
went to work for the Iten Biscuit
company.
He lived an exemplary life, Mr.
Savidge said, until his parole period
was ended and the Iowa prison
authorities nve him a clean record.
Daring this time Mr. Savidge had
been making regular reports on his
good behavior to the Iowa officials.
But in 1918. shortly after his pa-
.role period was over, Brown was
tent to the Nebraska atate prison on
Here ' he became the model pris
oner, resumed his' church going to
such an .extent .his fellow convicts
dubbed hira "Pious Brown," and met
Louis Gregory, Christian Science
reader.; and reform worker.
Sued for Divorce.
' After three efforts, Gregory se
cured a parole for Brown on the
plea he wanted to "give the kids a
chance."
But in 1920 Brown was sent up
again for. stealing an automobile,
and on December 1. 1920, he was
sued for divorce by his wife in Doug
las county district court. '
She claimed that when she married
him, he then was a fugitive from jus
tice, but that he had represented him
self to. her as a man of good reputa
tion and clean habits. ' ,
When she filed for divorce she said
he was serving one to 10 years in the
Nebraska penitentiary.
She alleged he became intoxicated,
beat her and mistreated her, and that
he was inclined to show affection for
other women. .
; She asked that the properties at
'3450 North Thirty-ninth street and
2210 North Twenty-seventh street,
be turned over to her. .
A decree was; granted her April
5, 1921, in which she got the custody
of their three children and $2,500
alimony. , The-property was sold at
sheriffs sale to pay the alimony.
' GretrArv made a trio to Omaha in
an effort to get the wife to with
draw her divorce action, but she re
fused. .':-?,'- .
Again he was paroled, came to
Omaha, visited his former wife,
wrote her letters, professed undying
love. But she was deaf.
- And then she married again. :

he fled to a rooming house nearby,
covered a roomer there with two
guns, spent the rest of the afternoon
and evening and left about 11 last
night as he had come- with two
guns to enforce silence.
As Brown lay on the roomer's bed
with one gun near his right hand
and the other tucked in his belt,
a mob of i several hundred persons
searched every nook and corner of
the neighborhood but the right one.

Brown escaped. I'ru.u the alley he

opened hit door to go on the porch,
A man was standing in the doorway
"Looking Cor tome one," Ryan told
police he called to the man.
"So," responded the man, and
directed his gare again out ol the
glits panes in the door.
Ryan went back to hit room and
came out again in a few minute.

As he sot to hit door, however,

"Lock the door was the first
command when the two got inside.
"I'm Fred Brown." he told
Ryan, "and I've got in bad up in

"They'll probably get me. but I'll
get some of them, tool Now you
sit down over there and don't get

With that, according to Ryans
story. Brown sat down and began to
eat the remains of the meal that
Ryan had left.
Hia hunger satisfied, he lay down
on the bed with his pistols handy
and rested while the mob beat the
alleys a.'id streets in search of him.
About 11 last night he rose, cau

and left with the two guns in his
hands. '

of the McCumber plan expressed the
belief that thit plan would prove not

it called for no heavy expenditures

from the service, but would not ex
