George J. Brennan Caused the Death
 of Frank E. ReYnolds-CorOner MIX
 Makes His Report in the Case -
 Brennan Will Be Tried i'm the City
 Court This Morning.
 The report of Coroner Mix in reference to the case of GeorgeJ. Brennan, accused of murder in causing the death of Frank E. Reynolds, was filed with Clerk Anketell of the superior court yesterday afternoon. Coroner Mix finds that Reynolds death was caused by his being knocked down by blow from Brennan. The case of Bren- nan will come up in the city court this morning, when he will be put to plea on
 the charge of murder. His interests will
 be looked after by his attorney, Isaac Wolfe.
 The coroner in his finding says:
 "The persons whose names and resi- dences are stated immediately hereafter were by me examined as witnesses: Pat rick Doherty, New Haven police depart ment; William Lakin, 1O9 Meadow street; William Maher, 76 Lamberton street; Rob- ert A. Hollinger, 256 Davenport avenue; John H. Coonan, New Haven police depart
 ment; Ella T. Herzog. 46 Olive street; Elizabeth True, 257 Wooster street. Having considered said report of the ! autopsy and all the testimony taken at the ! inquest, I, on the 18th day of December, 1893. made the following finding concern ! ing said death, to wit:
 ! Frank E. Reynolds was 8 painter by trade and resided with his wife and child | ct 46 Olive street, New Haven. He was l an intemperate man, in poor health and l often under the influence of liquor. On Friday morning, December 8, 1893, he 1 went into the saloon of James E. McGann, | corner of Congress avenue and Hill street, ! New Haven, and asked for drink. Ob- taining the same, he did not pay for it, sl- l though asked to do so by the bartender, George J. Brennan. Reynolds became \ abusive to Brennan. Some words passed ! between them, whereupon Brennan struck Reynolds blow in the face, knocking ! Reynolds down. He was helped up upon his feet and went out of the saloon and to
 his home. On arriving at his house he was observed by several persons to bs ap- I parently delirious; and blood was on his ! summoned, but he continued delirieus and
 died on December g, 1893, about o'clock | a. m.
 | q am of the opinion that Reynolds death was due to the striking of his head \ upon the floor of the saloon when he waf
 knocked down by Brennan, causing hem
 orrhage and producing blood clot on the left side of the brain. In compliance witt
 the statute have filed with the clerk oi
 the superior court for New Haven county
 my report of said inquest, together witt
 the evidence taken and the report of said
 autopsy"

COURT R ECOR D.

Probate Court-Judge Robertson.
 This court was yesterday the ecene of 8 lively contest over the acceptance of the account of Mrs. Theron A. Todd, adminis- tratrix of the estats of her mother, Mrs. Jesnnette Webster of this city. The testa- tor in her will left nearly all of her estate to a crippled daughter, Miss Sarah L. Web ster, sister of Mrs. Todd. In making her will the deceased failed to make provision for an executor, and Mira. Todd being the elder of the next of kin, applied for and was granted administration on the estate. Between Mrs. Todd and Miss Webster there has been some unpleasant feeling, and at the time of Mrs. Todd's appointment Miss Webster objected to her appointment. Since Mrs. Todd has had charge of the es- tate Miss Webster has not been pleased with her management of affairs apparently and short time ago when Mrs. Todd pre- scented her report of her stewardship to the probate court Miss Webster protested against 1t, acceptance on the ground that Mrs. Todd had been extravsgant in the disbursements.
 Yesterday was get down for hearing on the report and Mrs. Tod 1 was summoned into court to explain the items in her &C., count. Mrs. Todd appeared without coun- gel, while Miss Webster was represented by Attorney J: P. Goodhert and she was attended by Frederick Hemingway, who has been her counselor and advisor for some time and who makes his home at Miss Webster's house.
 The several items were explained in de- tail by Mrs. Todd. Finally the report was accepted in It's entirety.
