The murderer then mounted n pony nnd

Without delay Intellleenco of the shooting
wns carried to the authorities and n mounted
posse started In pursuit. About twelve miles
south of Oakland , in Cnmlng county ,

gaining on him too rapidly , nnd ho dis

iept up a continual flro nt Ids pursuers. Two
shots took effect , one shot plciclng the lungs

A man who has made n great sacrifice to take

L'elcgrnm. ] The Uiovvn Investigation Is
uactlcnlly ended , though If Auditor Drown
returns in time the committee will ask him n
'ew more questions. If not they will submit
heir report probably on Thursday. This In
vestigation , which tins Inslcd nbout six
veeks , has been flonductcd with closed doors
nnd grent secrecy. No poisons hnvo been
ircsent except the members of the committee
nnd the witnesses , nnd no one knows but the
committee what their repoit will be. One
correspondent , who has assumed to know
vvhnt the committee hnvo brcn doing and to
criticise and censute them accordingly , has
otten himself Into srilous tumble. Helms
iccn sending dispatches to the Chlcngo Inter

stated to-night , will rise to a question of

said to-day that tlieie wns not the shadow
of foundation for the chnrues ; that they had
summoned every witness that Mr. lliown
mil askcit for and treated him with perfect
'airness Unoughout. The tiuth Is that the
evidence has been strongly against Mr.

ncsslon Is tlmt the committee will bring In
unanimous repott of n very serious
character , nnd It will not be In laver of the

Mr. Stewart , Uiown's deputy , stated tills
afternoon that he had tried to lilo piotcsts
against the admission of considerable tcstl-
iiony damaging to Blown , but in each
nstnnce the committee icfuscd to receive
.hem. They maiked out thu course of their
nvcstlgation , summoned the witnesses that
ihoy legnrdcd ns competent mateiial , and
lave conducted the investigation to the best
of their ability , so that the explanations nnd
remonstrances that Brown's friends are now
making ate evidently intended to forestall an
.intavoinblo veidict Blown himself has
; oiiehometo Chaiiton , sick with ncivous
trosti-atlon it Is called , but the diiftof the
investigation it Is thought Is largely the
occasion of his sickness. It Is stated that
omo of his admirers when first
on the stand were so damaging to
ilm that upon reflection he wanted'to ba nl-
owed to chance them nnd desired to liavp
: ho committee ask the questions again , claim
ing that the clcik or stenographer had not ro-
coidcd his former answeis cflrrectly.tf , A
Then the testimony of Vnll"wiiom * fie ent
.iloyed at an extrnvngnnt pilce to examine
JIG insurance companies , was also very dam
aging to him , sho'ving , it Is said , among
other thlncs tliat on some thrco or more oc-
cafeions Vail hail paid him money In consid
erable sums. It has been charged tlmt
Blown bhaied with Vail In the extortionate
fees which the Insurance companies wore
compelled to pay for examination , and the
testimony bctoio the committee is said to
conliim the chaige. There seems to bo but
one opinion about the capitol nnd that is that
the foithcomlng report of the committee will
cither iccommend the Impeachmentof Browner
or clso place sevcio ccnsine upon him.
TIIK HAYis : INVESTIGATION.
Tito Hayes investigation Is not processing
as rapidly ns the Brown investigation. A
sub-committee of live were sent to Muscatlne
lo examine some comt records theie , which
It wasdeslied to put in evidence , nnd take
some testimony. Apait only of that com
mittee has icturned. Ono of the members
who Is here Uepicsentatlvo Finn stated
this evening that their investigation at Mus-
catlue was conducted with closed doors , no
attorneys being present. They examined
a few witnesses and then determined
to have a transcript made of the
dlstilct couit docket slnco lb0 , coveiliiK a
period of sixteen years , tluouglj the gieater
pait of which Judge Ilajes has been on the
bench. Clciks aio doing this now , and It Is
expected that the tianscilpt will bo ready by
tlio close of the week. The pilnclpal charges
of malfeasance chaigcd against Hayes are
located In Muscatlne county , so the commit
tee are taking pains to get very complete tes
timony from there. Cliahman Weaver of
the committee stated that ho should call the
entire committee together as soon as this evi
dence \vas ready and consider It.
Jl'DGU IIAYKS' AUMISSIOXS.
It seems that Judge Hayes Is disposed to
admit most ol the charges made against him
In tho'mcmoilal presented to the leglslatmc ,
so tlmt the issue to be raised will not bo as to
the tiuth of the chaigcs but as to their im
portance and beat Ing when admitted. His
defense will protjably bo a demuner admit
ting the tiuth of the chat-go but denying their
sufficiency to justify impeachment , The
members of tlio hub-committee , who have ic-
turned ftom Mnscatlno , lofuso to say any
thing as to tlio natuio of tlio
evidence obtained thcic , but It Is
understood to be ronlhmatoiy of the charges
set forth in the memoilal to tlio legislatuic ,
the most ot which aio admitted by Hayes.
It is IUMV thought that the report of the eom-
mitU dll probably dccl.ua that Hayes has
been guilty of conduct unbecoming a judge
nnd Is deserving of sevcio ccnsine , and then
publish the testimony so that the people of
the state can judge for themselves ,
