DID 40 BRANN|GAN STARVE? q
The Wealthy Miser Found Unoon-
sceus in His Wretehed Home.
Ta<en to st. Peters Hospital, Where
He Died Soon Afterwards.

THOMAS Brannigan, a wealthy recluse
lind miser, who was a very well-known
character to old Brooklynites living in
the First and Fifth wards, and who was
known to the children of that locality
as Lemons" Brannigan died in St
Peters Hospital in Brooklyn late last
night. To-day Coroner Kene ordered
County Physician Shepard to make an
autopsy on the body to determine the
cause OF death.
Brannigan had frequently figured in
the newspapers. He was eighty-two years
old, but strong and active for his age.
He came to- America from Ireland when
very young and settled in the lower part
of New York. Then he moved over to
Brooklyn, and had lived in the vicinity
of his last residence for over sixty years.
Brannigan peddled lemons until few
years ago, when he retired to look after
his real estate. His wife died many
ter. She had lost her husband, and with
her two children went to live with the
old man, as his housekeeper, in his
stuffy, apartments In the basement OF
an old frame house at $50 Pearl street.
The old man had invested his savings
mostly in tenement-house property He
was very stingy. and It Is said that the
little family frequently for days at
time had no other food than a loaf OF
stale bread. Sometimes the old man
refused even to buy that.
One night, about eighteen months ago,
Brannigan came home and scolded his
daughter for being extravagant. Angry
words were exchanged, and the old man
ended the quarrel by ordering her to
allow her to remain: she had been in
poor health and had no money to hire a
room. but her father was obdurate.
The following morning he drove his only

Neighbors took them in and sheltered
them until she could provide them with
a home. 1t was said at the time that
the old man then owned property worth
SIS. 900.
Mrs. Kate Kavanagh. his daughter,
who now lives at 4 Jackson's court,
exchanged a word with her father since
he turned her out. Only once did she
meet him, as he was coming out of a
store. Then she looked him in the face.
He returned the stare and passed on.
Several months after she had been

ACCUSED OF FRAUD.
President Negley Arrested on A.
H. Kings Complaint
Talked Of a 100000 Bond Sale
and Borrowed $4,000.
The Locomotive Man Alleges False
Representations.

James 8. Nesley. of New Jersey,
President of the Mexican Trust uud In
vestment Company, was arrested to-
day by Deputy Sheriff Wagering, upon
an order issued by Justice Lawrence, OF
the Supreme Court.
Negley's arrest is the result OF an
action brought against him by Albert
Il. King, President OF the King Loco
motive Works, of New Jersey.
He alleges that Negey secured 5000
from him by fraud In his afidavn MIR.
King swears that about October, 1870,
his Company desired to sell 100000
worth of corporate bonds, secured by II
trust mortgage on the Company's prop
erty.
About that time he alleges, NeGley
called on him and represented himself
as President of the Mexican Trust and
Investment Company, and that he could
robably sell the bonds of the King COM
pany to the Investment Company.
On various occasions after thnt, II Is
alleged by Mr.. King, that Negley re-
ported progress in his efforts to sell the
bonds and finally said that his company
had decided to buy the bonds
Later. II Is alleged. he told Mr.. King
that his company had deposited $4,000
in Paris to close the purchase Of the
bonds, and that 1t would be necessary
for him (Negley to go to London and
Paris to close the transaction. He asked
Mr.. King to lend him $3.0o0 to cover his
expenses abroad. Mr.. King loaned him
the money .
Since then. Mr.. King says, Negiey'r
representations were false. He says
that the Mexican Trust and Investment
Company has no financial standing, and
that, in fact II merely exists on paper
also that the negotiations which Negley
alleged to have carried on neve'.t oc'
| Cured and that $4,000 was never de.
posted in Paris. Mr. King further al
ieges that the false representa- tians
were made by Negley for the purpose
| of securing the $1,000.
| Negley furnished $1,000 bail.
