SLAYER GIVES UP
Man Who Killed Miss Brasch
Surrenders Himself.
SUSPECT NOVAK IS FREED
James Edward Cunningham, An
other Laborer, Gives Himself TJp
to Newspaper Men and Later
Is Turned Over to Police.
9AN FRANCISCO, July 2. Spurred on
ty his conscience, and not caring to see
nother man suffer for the crime which
he had committed, James Edward Cun
Tiln&hum entered a local newspaper office
Jato last night and gave himeelf up for
the murder of Miss Caroline Brasch. the
monographer who was shot down In Gray
Bros.' office this week. Later the man
was taken to the police station and was
positively Identified as the man who left
the office with a smoking i?un in his
hand by P. F. Htegins. Later the police
released J. Novak, who had been held
on suspicion in connection with the crime.
Cunningham entered a newspaper office
last night and made his original state
ment, which later was repeated to the
Tolice. The detective department was not
notified until early today, when represen
tatives of the paper delivered the man
into custody, together with the revolver
with which the crime Is said to have been
committed, and a wag check issued by
Oray Bros., which Cunningham declares
to have been the basis of the dispute that
nded with the shooting of Miss Brasch.
Makes Complete Confession.
The original theory as to the motive
for the murder is borne out by the con
fession of Cunningham, but the police, in
the arrest of J. Novak, another laborer,
who had been- employed by Gray Bros.,
were endeavoring to fasten the crime on
en Innocent man, who chanced to be the
victim of circumstances almost unpar
alleled. Cunningham, according to his state
ment, entered the offices of Gray Bros.
Just as Novak departed. Novak had dis
puted with Miss Brasch over a trifling
dirferenoe in his pay check, and, falling
to get satisfaction, went away in anger.
Stepping before the cashier's window im
mediately afterward, Cunningham de
clares he renewed a wrangle of several
weeks' etandlag over his check, and final
ly shot the girl. The description of his
escape from the building and the conduct
of th persons he encountered Impel the
police to believe that Cunningham and no
Other fired the shot.
Cunningham, who is 37 years old, is a
dative of Rhode Island. He had trav
eled about the country as a common la
borer, and in this capacity entered the
employ of Gray Brothers in their Point
Pedro quarry last March. On April 27,
be said, he left the place and came to
this city with a demand for 133.5. which
he claims was a balance due him. On
the occasion of this first visit to the
local office, Cunningham declares, he had
a dispute with Miss Brasch over a differ
ence of $? 25, and was unnble to get his
money. On May 20. he said, he received
two more checks in part payment, but
claimed there was still a balance of more
than S3 in his favor.
His last visit to the office was on
Wednesday. "I made up my mind that I
would get the money or kill her," he
said. '"I bought a revolver for $10 and
spent $1.50 for cartridges. As I en
tered the office I saw a man who looked '
like a laborer. He was probably this
man Novak. I did not pay any atten
tion to what he said, but waited a mo
ment until he went away."
Shot Girl Deliberately.
Cunningham then went on to relate
the details of his last dispute with Miss
Brasch. Somewhat to the surprise of the
police, he declared there were two girls
in the cashier's office while all the em
ployes of the company have persisted in
stating that the murdered girl was alone.
It was at this point in his narrative that
the man gave th only indication of be
ing irrational. He had drawn his re
volver, he said, and had ordered a check
for the full amount made out.
"I thought one of those girls was try
ing to mesmerize me," he said, "and I
told her to get away. I think she dropped
down behind the railing, because I did
not see her when I shot Miss Brasch. I
had told her not to walk away or go to
her desk, and she was going that way,
so I fired at the back of her head, and
I am sure I hit her there, because I am
a pretty good shot at that distance."
Cunningham gave a description, sick
ening in its accuracy, of how the vic
tim crumpled up and fell, telling even
of the spasmodic twitchings of her
limbs as she lay on the floor. "With the
smoking weapon in his hand he ran
Into the corridor and encountered two
men who have already been located
by the police and verified this part of
the confession. He ordered them back
into their ices, hurriecl down three
flights of stairs and crossed the build
ing once or twice, finally escaping by a
rear entrance.

watching the door which led into the
hallway. Outside Q. M. Hickey, jwlvate

Then she agreed to testify at the trial.
