"BROWN--Dispatch from San Francisco, Sept. 1 -- It was rumored this morning that a fearful murder had been committed in the southern part of the city. The facts, as far as can be ascertained, are these: Mrs. Annie BROWN, wife of Captain Jas. BROWN, a sea Captain, who had commenced boarding at No. 38 Natoma street, yesterday, was attacked during the day with delirium tremens, and in the afternoon called for a knife saying she wished to kill herself. In the night she made her escape from her room in her night dress and friends were hunting for her all night. This morning she was found lying dead on the floor of the laboratory in the rear of the drug store, corner of Second and Howard streets. Blood was oozing from her ears as if she had received a crushing blow on the head, and there were marks on the throat and mouth which led to the suspicion that she had been murdered. The clerk who usually sleeps there, did not do so last night. On examination it was found that the back door had been broken in, and it is now believed that she broke in there herself, being familiar with the premises from having roomed above for some years, and died either from the effects of a fall or from something which she may have swallowed in the drug store. The bottles were disturbed as if she had been hunting for some poison. The Coroner will make a full investigation." Source: Stockton Daily Independent, 2 Sept 1872. Transcribed by Dee.

Edward STEWART, formerly Assistant Engineer of the Fire Department, who rooms in the West End Hotel, and is very sick, testified that he was in the landlady's rooms at half-past one o'clock in the morning, sitting up with her while she wrote a letter to her husband. George STANTON, alias COCKEY, came in with BROWN, and they went up to COCKEY's room together. The landlady then went up stairs and met the negro in the landing. A moment later, COCKEY came out of his room in his shirt sleeves and threw a bottle after him. A savage struggle ensued, and COCKEY struck him repeatedly with his fists, and finally dragged or threw him out doors. STEWART was too weak to interfere. A few moments after BROWN was found dead, his neck broken. COCKEY was followed to his room by officer MEAGHER, who found him in bed with Ben. HARRISON, and remained near the door, while another officer went to the City Hall. While he was standing at the door he heard COCKEY ask Ben. if old Sam BROWN was dead. The landlady testified to the same facts, and the jury returned a verdict that the deceased was a native of Farmington, Connecticut, aged forty-nine, and came to his death from injuries received, December 10th, as they believe, from the hands of Geo. STANTON, alias COCKEY." Source: Sacramento Daily Bee, 12 Dec 1866. Transcribed by Betty Loose.

BROWN, of San Francisco's best loved newspapermen. gathered from many diverse paths of the city's life yesterday morning to attend his funeral service in Gray's Chapel. Many came from the composing rooms and the editorial rooms of the newspapers. In his thirty years of newspaper work, BROWN had become intimately acquainted with nearly every newspaper man in town. "Chronicle" men. "Bulletin" men. "Call" and "Post" men. Associated Press men and many who had worked with him in the days gone by sat in rows in the chapel near the body of the assistant city editor of "The Examiner", who died suddenly last Saturday morning. Although ill he did no t give up work until two days before his death. -RICH AND POOR REMEMBER- One end of the chapel was banked high with flowers, wreaths and clusters of every description sent in by men in all walks of life. One was from George WINFIELD, Nevada mining magnate. The St.Francis Hotel, which BROWN "covered" as a hotel reporter for many years, where every clerk, bellboy and waiter looked upon him as a friend, sent a wreath. James WOODS sent one personally. Others were from the various newspapers and the Associated Press. The flowers were all sent to hospitals at the wish of the family. Just before the service an aged woman who sells newspapers on the street came with a single rose to place upon the offerings. She had known BROWN and mothered him in his days as a young reporter and he had befriended her many times since. -FRIENDS PAY LAST TRIBUTE- In the group of those who came to pay this last tribute were Charles C. MOORE, president of The Panama Pacific Exposition, and his naval aide, Lieutenant Commander C. H. WOODWARD, Supreme Justice William P. LAWLOR, Attorney Samuel SHORTRIDGE, F.E. BATTURS, General Passenger Agent of the Southern Pacific, John Francis NEYLAN of the State Board of Control, George A. KNIGHT, James G. BLAINE, Robert A.

BULLOTTI, tenor singers of note, sang two duets, "Lead kindly Light" and "The Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" At the close PURDY sang "Nearer My God To Thee." -A PRINCE AMONG MEN- Dr. CLAMPETT read the lesson and then spoke briefly of BROWN's life. He said: A prince among men was Watt BROWN. His life was rich with those qualities which men most admire. His was a splendid attraction of mind and heart. Cleverness and goodness win love. His ability was fully tested in the race of life, a race which the modern press had made a keen, severe, almost overpowering test. He measured up and had much to spare. He was a man so human and kind that his loss strikes deep. His genial smile, his glad handshake, his unselfishness and tenderness created a personality radiant with sunshine. The honorary pallbearers were James WOODS, Alvah WILSON, Roy CARRUTHERS, J. W. CARROLL, E. D. COBLENTS, and Paul SINSHEIMER. -ASSOCIATES BEAR CASKET- The active pallbearers were Charles M. COLEMAN, Charles H. UPTON, F. G. BUNCH, F. A. BRANDT, J. N. DENSHAM, and Ray TAYLOR. Edwin MYERS and John D. O'BRIEN were the ushers. Cremation was at Cypress Lawn cemetery. Members of the family only attended this service. He is survived by his mother, his widow, a son, Carroll, a daughter, Mrs. Jessie JOSEPHS, and two grandchildren. BROWN was born in Grass Valley 49 years ago. He came to San Francisco as a boy and at one time was a law clerk in the office of General John H. DICKINSON. He began his newspaper work on the "Evening Post". Later he joined "The Examiner" staff and then went to "The Call". where he was first railroad reporter and then city editor.

"BRUCE--DEBAUCHERY and DOUBLE DEATH in SAN FRANICISCO -- A dreadful scene of debauchery and death was presented Friday afternoon at the shanty of Timothy BRUCE, San Francisco. The 'Bulletin' says that on Friday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, one of the BRUCE children was observed by a Mrs. WALTZ, who lives in the neighborhood, to be crying in the street, and upon interrogating her as to the cause, the child replied that she thought her mother must be dying, as she could not speak or move, and was so cold. Mrs. WALTZ immediately, in company with a neighbor, proceeded to BRUCE's shanty and found a scene which almost baffles description. In the middle room of the house, on a bed, lay the body of Mrs. BRUCE, perfectly dead; the clothes disordered, and everything in confusion. On a trunk near the foot of the bed and with his head fallen upon the feet of his wife, lay BRUCE, stone-drunk, and incapable of rising, or in any way helping himself. For the purpose of allowing Mrs. BRUCE to be examined, the husband was carried into the front room and placed upon a sort of bed made for him there. He was still alive, but so much intoxicated that he fell powerless. He had not been lying long, however, before he died, and he was found shortly afterwards, when attention was attracted to him from the dead body of his wife, to have expired, having either drawn the bedclothes over his head, or they having been thrown upon his head. Mrs. CUMMINGS was in the house, and pretended to be taking care of Mrs. BRUCE, but was herself so drunk that she did not know the poor woman was beyond help, and that in fact she was nursing a corpse. It is supposed that these dreadful deaths were occasioned by poisonous compounds sold under the name of brandy." Source: Weekly Stockton Democrat, 4 July 1858. Transcribed by Dee.
