John F. Brennan was placed on the
stand on Thursday 70 tcs.1y in his
own behalf. and during the afternoon
and evening his story was a denial
that he was ever at the Gilson home,
where the murder is said 20 have
taken place; denied that be ever knew
Beatrice Epler, denied tha; he had
ever accosted the girl on the streets
Of Alma; denied that be had left the
show grounds on the night of the
murder; denied that he drank that
evening with Benjamin Kelch at the
Alma Hotel; denied that he knew
Mrs Johnson; denied that he knew
Treva Sanderson, and knowledge of
the Epler girls murder.
His story was told in great detail.
He told Of his show being in Leslie
the week Of August l3, and how he
was in Alma that day, Tuesday, TO
secure a license for his show TO ap-
pear in Alma, and that he was in
Leslie the balance of the week and
not in Alma on the Il, one Of the
days when Mrs. John Blank claimed
TO have seen him at the ellison home
in Alma. When asked by his attor-
ney If he was at the ellison home on
the 18th. l4th, and 18th Of that
month he said No"
He told OF meeting Mrs. Todd, at
that time a housekeeper at the Seaver
hotel in Ithaca, later in the month
when the show was in Ithaca. lie
stated that he also met Eichorn at
that time, meeting him when he was
with Mrs. Todd.
On Friday Brennan was on the
stand under cross-examination, but
held up well under the volleys of
questions hurled at him by Ora L.
Smith, prosecutor, and Kelly S. Scarf,
special prosecutor.
J. r. Sartor, Jr., was called Friday
by the defense to establish that there
was no restaurant in or near the Red
man block at the time that Brennan
was said 10 have accosted the Epler
girl on East Superior street, near q
restaurant in the Redman block as
had been stated
Saturday Mrs. Brennan was called
10 the stand 10 testify in behalf OF
her husband Her testimony was not
of any great importance, as IL dwelt
for the greater part, on events after
the murder. Her appearance on the
stand for her husband created con-
Siderable impression with the jury, IL
was evident. When she appeared in
court she was accompanied by her
three children, who went 10 their
fathers side in the court room, "a

as much as possible from their ap-
pearance.
Character witnesses were intro
duced for Brennan Saturday and
three men from Isabella county ap.
peared as character witnesses for
Mrs. ellison, but witnesses Of a diff.
ferent sort. as they told the cour,
that they would not believe Mrs. Gil.

NOT GUILTY
THE VERDICT
John r. Brennan Free Man
After a Year in Prison
Awaiting Trial.
JURY WAS OUT TWO HOURS
Pleas OF Attorneys to Jury Took Over
Eight Hours on
Monday.

Just az noon Tuesday, after two
hours of dehberation in the jury
room, the jury in the Brennan case,
reported that il had reached ver-
dict and had found that John +.
Brennan was not guilty of the muir
der of Beatrice Epler, the sixteen
year-old Alma girl. whose body was
found on Grover avenue, few rods
from her home on the morning of
September 5, 1917, after she had
been strangled at the home of Mrs.
Anna ellison, according 10 the testi-
mony which sent Albert Eichorn to
Marquette prison for life.
When court convened Tuesday
morning at $50 Circuit Judge f. J.
Moinet gave his charge TO the jury
In the charge he went over the evil
dence very carefully. He charged
the jury that only two verdicts were
possible in the case, that they must
either find Brennan not guilty or
else guilty of murder in the first
degree. A verdict in a lesser degree
could not be brought in he stated.
He told the jury that it must be
satisfied that Brennan was at the
ellison home and that it must also
be satisfied that the murder was
committed there or verdict of not
guilty must be returned. He also
stated that while the defense had
endeavored to impeach the testimony
of Mrs. Gibson, that the jury was the
sole judge in the matter.
Following the rendering Of the
verdict, it became known that within
a very few minutes after retiring the
jury was in agreement on the ver-
dict to be given, and that the evil
dence was, however, gone over very
carefully before the report was made.
Brennan received the verdict calm
y, only a slight smile appearing on
his features, as the foreman Of the
jury spoke the words that made him
a free man, after year spent in pris-
on awaiting trial. He left St. Johns
Tuesday evening with his family for
his home in Flint, to spend New
Years with his wife and kiddies in
their home.

Symptoms Of Death.

The usual procedure at the front
to determine whether death has &C.
Cured is to inject fluorescine, ac-
cording to the method Of DR.. S. Icard
of Marseilles. In the living the eyes
will take a vivid green color as though
an emerald had been set in the
socket. If no celebration is observed
within an hour or two after injection,
1t may be stated positively that the
person is dead.
