him as he took his seat at the bench
iii city court Yesterday. 1t was John
c. Brennan, a man whose life story
would make an interesting book.
Probably its most absorbing chapter
would tell of his two years ramble
in aphasia. a young man, Brennan
graduated from college, entered a
seminary and studied for the priest
hood. Later he prepared for the bar.
He never took the examinations. In
stead he became employed as an ac-
countant in a Pennsylvania brewery.
One afternoon he closed his ledgers,
handed over his keys and went into
/ n world he had never known before
/ TO this day he can tell nothing OF
/ what transpired in those two years
i Physicians diagnosed his case as
4 nphasia.
i Latterly Brennan has been content
TO live as a wood chopper on the out
skirts of the city. Saturday Officer

headquarters. Brennan pleaded not

year He made il plain that ii was no
more disgrace to have tuberculosis
/ than any other disease, that tuberculo-

I take proper steps in the early stages
was responsible for many deaths.
Dir. H. A. Ladd of Burlington, in
spector of the state board of health
explained the various pictures. The

Yesterday. In the wreck of the ex-
press u lives were lost.
Murray was sent back to flag the
White Mountain express, but had gone
enlv a short distance when the train
passed him. The state IS contention
was that Murray did not go back far
enough in performance of his duty. In
pronouncing sentence the court said
that Murray s negligence was very re-
mote. The real cause was the system
under which the flagman worked. The
court said it had been reading the
finding of the interstate commerce
commission in which different contrib
utory causes for the wreck were as
signed, and Murray S was the least of
these The 1agman had four minutes
in which TO go back 1000 feet, and
even if he had covered that distance
the wreck, under the conditions, could
not have been averted, in the opinion
of the court The trials of Brace c.
Adams, conductor of the Bar Harbor
express, and of Engineer Miller of
the White Mountain express are vet IL
