ITO Rev. j. J. Hickey:
MY husband James d. Farmer,
never had any hand in Sarah
Brennan's death nor eve knew
anything about it till the trunk
was opened. / never told him any
thing what had happened. I feel
he has been terribly wronged.
James y. Farmer was not at nome
the day the affair happened, Meth
err did James ID. Farmer ever put
a hand on Sarah Brennan after
her death. Again i wish to say as
strongly as l can that my hus-
band, James ID. Farmer. is entire
ly innocent of the death of Sarah
Brennan, that he knowingly had
no part in any plans that led to
1t and that he knew nothing what
ever about il.
