ATTErlPT TO ESCAPE

Brennan Died Dis Result of Blow
Received While Running Away
From House of Correction.

Thomas Brennan. who was struck
down by officer Hatch of the house of
correction at Howard. while attempt
ing to escape from the institution died
apparently from the result of the in
jurles received at the state almshouse
hospital at 1850 o'clock this morning.
Thomas Brennan and John Sullivan
attempted to escape from the house of
correction last Saturday and they were
pursued by officer Frank l.. Hatch.
They got away a considerable distance
before he caught up with them, but
finally they were discovered. They
seized two sticks OF wood and attacked
Hatch, who defended himself with a
similar weapon. The officer finally
knocked Brennan down with a blow
from his club.
He then turned his attention to Sui
lvan, who was sprnting up the rail-
road track. Sullivan had quite a start.
however, and hearing cry from Bren-
nan the officer turning back, saw that
he had risen upon his knees. Mr.. Hatch
Immediately gave up the pursuit of |
Sullivan and made his way to where |
Brennan was attempting TO arise. He
did so with the assistance Of the Off
GER. Though he was bleeding somewhat
from the cut the club had inflicted on
his head, he was apparently i'm no great
distress and was able 10 accompany
he officer back 80 tbe place where tho
,arg had been left. It was found that
ne other seven were still at work.

Sister Visited Hin.

Brennan's sister, who lives in this
city, was notified and she was with him
| for about an hour yesterday Brennan
was 80 years OF age and was sentenced
TO six months at the house Of correc-
| tion as common drunkard. He had
been at thar institution since May %.
| The matter has been fully reported
TO the board OF state charities and
! corrections. Two OF the members,
Messrs. Smith and McOsker, were at
the house of correction on an official
call at the time of the affair. SO that
.ney were given the facts in the case
at tat time. The officials OF the board
have been given a written statement
by The officer and also Supt. Eastman s
view OF the affair.
officer Hatch did not come out OF the
affair unharmed, for in addition TO a
severe blow on the hand, he is suf-
feIdng from a lame back where he
was struck not only by Brennan's fist
but also later by a club welded by one
Of the men. Ii is feared that he may
have been injured internally, for he has
expectorated blood at various times
since the affair. Mr.. Hatch has been
at the state institution for about a
year and half and is about 81 years of
age. He was first night watchman at
the almshouse, and later became a day
attendant. About six months ago he
was promoted TO the position which
he now holds. He has always dis
his duties faithfully, and has
won the confidence Of those with whom
he has been associated.

sentenced for vagrancy about the same
time as Brennan, and although he
claimed TO come from Newport. is said
