(ESTABLISHED 1872) 135 to 143 MAIN STREET NORWICH, CONN There is mothing to add to the report| of the suicide of William Brown, after firing three shots that struck his wife, Gladys Dunbar Brown, as told in Wed- nesday's Bulletin, insofar as it relates to the actual shooting, and the incidents connected therewith just before and im- mediately after the shooting. The re- Doft stated that Brown's three shotts took effect. the’ first graing <the front of his wife's body and the right arm set- ting her clothing afire, another shot pen- etrating her left lung and the third en- tering the abdomen. Soon after his ar- rival at the Lawrence hospital, New London, an examination was made of the wounds by Dr. Daniel T. Sullivan head of the hospital staff and by Dr. Frank L Payne of Westerly, and both believed that she could not possibly survive be- yond a day or two. One of the bullets was just under the skin on the right side, and was radily removed, while the other was in the abdomen. At the hos- pital and before the examination, Mrs. Brown felt the bullet just under the skin and remarked: “There's the evi- dence that I have been shot. As near as can be ascertained there was not the slightest ground for the Jealousy of William Brown, but it was probably created in his imaginative and drunk-crazed mind, by the excessive drinking of jakey. Three bottles of Ja- maica ginger unopened were found on his person after death and he had left a partially drained bottle at the home of his parents, just oefore he siarted for his own home for the purpose of Killing him- elf and his wite. Brewn served in the world war with a Providence battery of the Yankee divi- sion, and soon after his discharge, h gaged at his trade of stone- Quincy, Mass. There he wooed Dunbar and after a while he léft Quiney and worked in Philadelphia. He re- turncd to Quiney only six weeks ago and went back to Philadelphia. Two weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Brown came to West- erly and after speding a few days at the home of Brown's parents in John street they began keeping house at No. 7 Spring street, where the shooting occurred. Mr. Brown came from Philadelphia to rk for the Bradford Dyeing associa- on and with the expectation of play- ing first base for the Bradford basebal team. He declined this job after his ar rival, stating that his wite prefevred that he work at his trade, rather re play baseball. He then entered the employ the New England Grauie works. Tues- day morning he served notice on the company that he would quit work, giving as a reason that he had been drinking and did not care to work. He called at the plant Tuesday afternoon and receiv- ed the wages due him. It is believed that the revolver and ammunition Wwas purchased with a part of this money. When he received the money he showed signs of intoxication, but there was nothing in his manner that indicated that he had in mind murder and self de- struction. When the police arrived at the Brown home, with the exception of the kitchen where the shooting ocurred, Brown dead on the floor and Mrs. Brown, bleeding unconseious and ber clothing afire, the other two rooms of the apartment they had occupled, were in the best of order, and all about the place was an air of cleanliness and tidiness. ~ Mrs. Brown was neatly attired and there was the ap- parance of a happy contented home. It is learned that when Brown entered the kitchen he was smoking a cigarette and clamly told his wife he was going to kill her and whipped out the revoiver Brown cried: “Don't, Willl Don’t il but without avail. While She wi pleading with him the husband: shot he three times. Just as she fell, she her husband fire into his head the shot that killed him. Seon after the shootimg, Police Chief Brown wired Mrs. Willlam Dunbar that her daughter had been shot by her hus- band and was in a nrecarious condition. Wednesday morning the chlef receivec telegram from Mi.. Wilbur as to the character and seriousness of the wounds. In reply the chief gave the course of cach bullet, and that Mrs. Brown was in the Lawrence-Memorial hospital, New London in a serious condition.
