From tiiere he went to Mr. Ace Caudell’s and taken breakfast— told Caudell he had # been down to the grocery to collect $3 Brower owed him—was drinking—said Brewer paid him, and as the morn ing was cold gave him a drink. Brower was found about 9 o’clock that' morning in his grocery dead. The door was pulled to xfter the murder.
