THE BROWN MURDER

Indianapolis Sentinel; March 21, 1879

An Indianapolis detective is in correspondence with the relatives
of Wash Brown, living in Franklin, who was murdered in Morgan 
County a short time since, stating that if sufficient reward is
given for the apprehension of the murderers he can produce the
parties. The county of Morgan offers $500 and the relatives of
the murdered man offer $800, making $1300, for the arrest and
conviction of the guilty person or persons. It will be recollected
that several persons were arrested on suspicions, among them some 
of the children of the deceased, but were discharged for want of 
testimony to convict.
