Auburn, N. Y, Mar. 30.-Murmuring
a prayer for her soul, Mrs. Mary Farm
er was quietly led to the electric chair
in Auburn prison yesterday and exc
cuted for the murder of Mrs. Sarah
Brennan at Brownville last April.
She was pronounced dead at 6:15 a. m.
The physicians report that the au-
topsy disclosed that Mrs. Farmer was
normal in every respect and that the
brain showed no LESSONS that would in
dictate criminal tendency.
The execution of Mrs. Farmer-the
second infliction of the death penalty
on woman by electrocution in ( this
state-was effected without sensa-
tional incident Five women, two of
whom were prison attendants, were
witnesses. Father Hickey, spiritual
adviser of the condemned woman, fol-
lowing the execution gave out a state
ment signed by Mrs. Farmer, in which
she declared that her husband, James
Farmer, was entirely innocent and
knew nothing Of the crime until after
it had been committed.
Led by Father Hickey, and with Mrs.
Dunnigan and Miss German, who have
attended her constantly since she was
brought to Auburn prison, Mrs. Farmer
walked unfalteringly to the death
chair, her eyes half closed and clasp
ing crucifix in her hands. AS she
was being strapped in the chair Father
Hickey stood at her side and offered
prayers for the dying.
DR.. John Germ, the prison physician,
said that the woman was dead after
the first shock, but as there was still a
tremor of muscular reaction, two sue
ceeding contacts were given. State
Electrician Davis said that 1,S40 volts
and 71a amperes was the strength of
the current that passed through the
woman's body.
The wretched woman was led into
the execution room. The priest led the
way, offering an almost inaudible
prayer, while just behind him came
Mary Farmer Her hands clasped a
crucifix and she murmured until the
end came:
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, have mercy
on my soul"

DEATH STATEMENT
MRS. FARMER

To Rev. J. j. Hickey:
My husband, James d. Farmer,
never had any hand in Sarah Bren-
mans death nor never knew any
thing about it till the trunk was
opened. I never told him anything
what had happened. I feel he has
been terribly wronged. James D.
Farmer was not at home the day
the affair happened, neither did
James d. Farmer ever put a hand
on Sarah Brennan after her death.
Again wish to say as strongly
as l can, that my husband, James
d. Farmer, is entirely innocent of
the death of Sarah Brennan, that
he knowingly had no part in any
plans that led to it, and that he
knew nothing whatever about it.
