TWO AUTOS IN SMASH-UP
On the State Road West of Altamont Last Saturday Night — No One Injured

What might have been a serious and fatal automobile accident occurred last Saturday night on the state road near the Gallup farm. A Stanley Steamer was towing in a big Lozier automobile which had broken down while at the Lakes when the rope with which the disabled machine was being towed became wound up in one of its forward wheels, throwing the car directly across the highway. Just at this juncture a five-passenger automobile going west came along and before an alarm could be given ran head-on into the car standing on the road. The smaller machine was badly damaged in its forward parts, the entire front being smashed in, one wheel broken off, and many other parts broken. It is now at Barton’s Garage for repairs.

All three machines were owned by Schenectady parties. Fortunately no one was injured. After the collision the disabled car was moved to the side of the road and the other two proceeded on their way to Schenectady.

Mrs. Brown and Clyde Robinson, Who Were Held on Suspicion, Now Face Another Charge

Mrs. Edith Brown and Clyde Robinson, who for nearly two weeks have been held by the sheriff’s department on suspicion of having made away with Arthur Brown, the farmer who has been missing from his home at Indian Fields since July 25, on Tuesday morning pleaded guilty to charges of adultery, brought before Justice of the Peace John Peck of Dormansville, and were bound over to await the action of the grand jury, the offense being an indictable one and beyond the jurisdiction of the justice.

District Attorney Harold D. Alexander has returned from his vacation and is in charge of the investigation of the supposed murder. Assistant District Attorney John. J. Conway, Jr., brought the charges against Mrs. Brown and Robinson, who were in the custody of Under Sheriff Patton.

Sheriff Peasely is quoted as saying he knows Brown is alive and that he will be located within a week. It is also said that a serious accusation is hanging over Brown’s head and that this is the reason he left home. It is understood this charge is based on a statement of Robinson, who is alleged to have said that Brown was intimate with a 14-year-old girl and that his own intimacy with Mrs. Brown was condoned by the husband.

Whether this statement be true or not, the residents of Indian Fields do not believe it. They insist Brown is dead and that his body will ultimately be found. They point out it is singular indeed if the sheriff knows Brown to be alive that he searched the locality as he has done.
It is also pointed out that any statement of Robinson and Mrs. Brown tending to bring Brown into disrepute is to be expected and that Robinson has proved himself to be such an accomplished romancer in the way he has constantly fizzled the sheriff and his assistants relative to the disposal of Brown’s body that it is difficult to understand why his word, which would bring into question the good name of a young gir
