-. Discovery of the murder , came when

' Battle r was .; arrested ' 'arfter Mar
caret, the 7-year-old daughter of the
Brighams. had identified nmr a a man

hastily-, into the closet by 'the mur
derer before he fled. Her clothing was
badly torn. -
- Brlgham collapsed after : he-had
found his wife's body' and .today -was
nearly wild with grief. He" is a well

Mrs. Brlgham was a good looking
woman, quiet and domestic, and a de
voted mother to their three little chil
dren. -ho were asleep - when their
mother met ber frightful fate. ;
The children were all confined to
their rooms upstairs by themselves.
TbeV told their father that they 'had
heard no sound.
. The police say the evidence is that
the woman was either attacked in her
kitchen and dragged to the cellar, or
was attacked suddenly by a concealed,
assailant in the cellar when she went
there on some household errand. . j j
