When Brown did so the struggle with the fatal result began. The men rolled over the hallway and Brown got Tanner up against the door of another room with his hands tightly clutching his throat. When they went 1o the floor Tanner cried out “let me up” and when Brown released him Tanner began to shoot and Brown cried out: “I'm gone. I'm done for.” Brown reeled out toward the back porch, and Mrs. Barnes, who by that time eared upon cene, began to scream, killed my husband,” and sped info her body.

Brown and Mrs. Barnes have been trying to do me up, but I did not have the proof until to-day.” ‘When asked what that proof was, Tan- ner said: “Well, Mrs. Phillips, who rooms in_the house, told me wome time ago that Mrs. Barnes wanted her to do me up, that is, 0 get money away from me. I could not accuse Mrs. Barnes of this, because Mrs. Phillips and her husband were up at Lake Tahoe and only returned to-day. As soon as they came home I hunted Brown up, and meeting him on Kearny street this afternoon I told him about it, and that I wouldn’t let them do me up any more. At that he began to assault me, and I went back home.” Tanner is an Englishman, 57 years of age, and came to this city in 1874 He fol- lowed the sea for many yvears and has been a mate on several vessels.
