Show VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCES. Laborer Would Probably Have Been Convicted of Murder, But for Confession. San Francisco James Edward Cunningham, Cun-ningham, a laborer, has confessed to the murder of Miss Caroline Brasch, cashier for Gray Brothers' Construction Construc-tion company, who was shot and killed in the company's offices June 30. Cunning ham surrendered himself because another man was under arrest, ar-rest, charged with the crime. The original theory as to the motive mo-tive for the murder is borne out by the confession of Cunningham, but the police, in the arrest of J. Novak, another laborer, who had been employed em-ployed by Gray Brothers, were endeavoring en-deavoring to fasten the crime on an innocent man, who chanced to be the victim of circumstances almost unparalleled. |
