Awrui Deed.
Barrie. leeta 13.—(Special)—A most
cold-blooded murder was perpetrated
here' this morning, the victim being
John A. Strathy, a prominent banker,
and old resident of the town; the mur-
derer, Michael J. Brennan, a former
resident. who is said to be Insane. The
cause of the awful tragedy is a mys-
tery.
Brenuan ealled at Overden, Mr.
Strathy's house, at Lake and Duk -
worth -streets, and asked the servant
who answered the door for Mr.
Strathy. The girl asked who wished
to see him, and 13rennan replied, "A
erieuth" Mr. Strathy came to the door
and Brent= delioerately shot him in
tne breast, the builet entering jaat
above the heart. Mr. Strathy tell to
the floor and his wife, who had heard
the shot, ran to him. He s.ald to her:
"Isrennan has shot me," and then lost
consciousness. Dr. W. A. Ross was
kummoned quickly and was Soon join-
ed by Drs. Smith and McCarthy. but
notwithstanding the efforts of the me-
dical men, Mr. Strathy expired three-
quarters of an hour after being shot.
After committing the dastardly net,
Brennan rushed out of the house and
jumped upon a rig, driven by Andrew
Graham, a farmer, from Oro Town-
ship. Mrs. Strathy shouted to Graham
and a man named Thomas Ambler,
who was also in. the sleigh, to capture
the murderer. But Brennan coolly told
the men that the worna.n wascrazy,and
to take no notice of her. When the
sleigh arrived at the Victoria Hotel,
Brennan alighted and went in and had
a drink, afterwards walking down to
the market square, where he coolly
told Constable Marlin that he had shot
.Taok Strathy.
The constable took him into custodY,
and, together with County Detective
Beardsley, went with hlm to the jail,
where Brennan freely admitted his
guilt, stating that Mr. Strathy had
shoved him out of the house and that
int drew his *revolver; on the spur of
thee moment Mid 1h. . Be etiftWer
said to Detective Beardsley that last
summer he had another revulver that
he intended to use for the same pur-
ooze, but he consulted the priest In
Midland, who told him to at once de-
stroy the revolver, and never take any
Person's blood. He decided to take the
priest's advice and, to use his words,
buried the revolver In the waters of
Georgian Bay. Detective Beardsley at
once informed Crown Attorney Cotter,
who told him to notify the coroner,
Dr. Wallwin, who at once empauelled
a jury, who viewed the remains and
then adjourned until ne-morrow morn.
ing. A post mortem examination is
being held to -night by Dr. W. A. Ross
and Dr. Seances.
The news of the horrible affair spread
quickie- througbout the town and rela•
tives of Mr. Strathy in Toronto were
notified and a number of them came
here to console the bereaved wife and
children. Dr. Grusett came up on the
afternoon train, accompanied by a lit-
tle daughter of the deceased, who has
been at boarding school in Toronto.
Mr. Henry Stratny, QC., a prominent
lawyer here and a brother of the mur-
dered man, told The 'World represen.
tative to -night that he could assign
no cause for Brennan's awful act. The
victim was of a most inoffensive dis-
Position and was a friend of every one
and a most popular man. It was said
that some thne ago Breonan had some
trouble with his family and he asked
Mr. Stratby to melp him, but the late
ter had said that he could do nothin.'
in the matter at an. Brennan is sails!
to have stated after coinmitting the
(mime that he had had financial Iron -
hies of which Mr. Strathy wae the
cause. There is nothing, howevernhat
would lead to this being othev, a•
'Brennan leas always hard up and bad
pay.
The murdered man had livecl here
Lor 27 years and was very popular
throughout the surrounding l'Ountry.
Per many years he was manager of
the Bank of Toronto at this piace,

cently- become venaat. He was a pro-
minent member oz toe Rei ormee lepis-
copelian Church here. He leaves a
wife and six children.
The murderer, Michael 3. Bie anan,
has been known in and around Barrie
for 25 years. Per wine yea, alter
locating here he was a carpenter. oie
mar/led a girl named Huiley, who was
a donaestic 111 the nousenold of donator
Liman, an -Uncle of the mut:dined inan
and was intensely jealous 01 tits wi..e
and there is a story afloat to the effect
that Brennan labored uncial; the idea
that Mr. Stratny had been intimate
with the girl before sne married. This,
ierwever, is only rumor, ane is not be-
lieved. Brennan gave up carpentering
and went into the hotel busi-
ness, taking charge of toe Victoria
hotel, winch he ran for a coeliac, ut
Years, until the Scott Ata came into
ece ce.
Brennan left Barrie about six years
ago for Midland, taking his wife and
family witn hini. While theie he be-
came involved in trouble with a law -
ear naened Steers, whom he accue.ed 02
undue intimacy with Mrs, 13rennan.
The lawyer had Brennan arrested on
a charee of lunaev, and he was com-
e
mitted to Berne jail, where medical
men examined lain, but were not aatie-

band, and said to be now living In To-

ronto a few months ago and secured
employment with the Massey-liarrie

the early part of the month, and did
besiness with Hamsters Lennox and
