ST PAUL, Mimi, July PA baby
daughter was born in the state prison
here to Mrs. James Brennan. who was
committed for murder. She was SEN
fenced to prison FOR life on Jan. 2.
Her husband, James Brennan, stood by
his wife during her trial. An effort
was made to secure an acquittal on
the ground that Mrs. Brennan was not
responsible for her acts owing To her
physical condition. The fact that Mrs
Brennan expected to become mother
II is said, influenced the jury to bring in
n verdict of murder in the second de-
gree in order that she might thus avoid
being hanged. Governor Johnson spoke
very strongly when he learned that the
-child had been born in prison and intl-
mated that Mrs. Brennan's case might
come before the pardon board.
