the jail ground floor.
Ranger Purvis, Lufkin officer,
said the negro, whose confession
was taken by District Attorney Steve
Wells at Henderson, admitted slip-
ping up to the jail, assassinating the
sheriff and throwing the murder
weapon in the Sulphur river.
“The reason for the act was be-
cause of his hatred for Sheriff
Brown, who had Jailed him for
theft, and after he escaped went
out to hunt him down," Purvis said.
The negro had been told, he
claimed, that Sheriff Brown would
kill him on sight.
Brooks and J. C. Hartsfield, an-
other negro, broke Jail about five
days before the killing, cutting a
hole through the wall. Both later
were recaptured, Brooks after offi-
cers fired a slug Into his leg yester-
day. Longview officers said Sid
Brown, brother of the slain sheriff,
who was made chief deputy by the
commissioners court when Mrs.
Brown was named sheriff, shot
Brooks.
Officers also said that Brooks
had been back in Jefferson, follow-
ing his jail escape, looking for
Brown and had a shotgun.
Brooks was held on a robbery
from person charge and was to
have been prosecuted under the
habitual criminal statute.
