CORPSE FOUND IN A TRUNK
BROWNSVILLE, N. ", WOMAN WAS
CHOPPED UP WITH AN AK.
Neighbors of Murdered Woman,
Were the Guilty Parties.

Watertown, N. Y What is ap>
parently the most brutal murder
committed in northern New York
since the famous Sackets Harbor trag-
edy, in which two women were killed
and for which George Allen is now
serving life sentence in Auburn pris-
on, was discovered late Monday in the
manufacturing village of Brownsville,
four miles west of this city. The vic
tim was Mrs. Sarah Brennan, wife of
Patrick Brennan, paper maker. and
place in which she had lived nearly
all of the 55 years of her life.
The body of Mrs. Brennan, frightful-
ly hacked with an ak and the skull
crushed, was found tightly packed in
a large trunk at her home. Nearby
the trunk a bloody ak was found.
The police claim to have already
solved the mystery of the woman's
death through confession which, 1t
is alleged, they have obtained.
According to the police the murder
was done in hotel formerly known
as the Barton house, which is located
near the Brennan home. The motive,
the officers alleged, was robbery.
Pending further INJURY into the
case the police have taken into GUS
tody James Farmer and wife, who are
neighbors of the Brennans.
The Brennan home, which was in
the wife's name, was, according to the
county records, transferred on October
last to Farmer for $2,100. Brennan
claimed that he was not party to the
transfer and that his wife had denied
to him that she had executed such a
deed. On Thursday last Mrs. Bren-
nan disappeared, and the same day
the Farmers sought possession of the
Brennan home.
When Brennan objected he was di-
rected to the county clerks Office. On
Saturday he examined the records and
found that a deed had been executed
as Farmer stated.
Meantime Brennan had instituted an
unsuccessful search for his wife.
When he discovered that their home
had been transferred he called upon
the neighbors and a systematic hunt
for the woman was begun. Every bit
of the country about the village was
gone over and hope of finding Mrs.
Brennan had been almost abandoned
when a further search of her own
home was suggested. This was made
so thoroughly as to result in the
breaking open of the trunk in which
the body was found
