MURDERESS DIED AT 6.15 Mde Statement Which, It Is Belisvsd Will Exonerate Husband of Crime. Auburn, X.

March Mrs. Mary Fanner, convicted of the killing ot Mrs. Sarah Brennan at ISrownsvlllt electrocuted at the state prison lure at o'clock this morning. Two contacts of the electric current administered. 'I he at the prison refused to assist in the electrocution.

Mrs. Fanner made a statement Sunday night which she believes will ex onerate her hushand, who also Is un der the sentence of death for the same crime. Mrs. Fanner prepared the in the presence of a not. ii) public ami Father Hickey, her spiritual adviser.

Father Hickey had told the con-ib-mned woimui that if she could truthfully make any statement that would cxoticiatc her husband she should do so. Mrs. Fanner replied that she id no desire to make any confession, but that' she would make a statement concerning the case. It was however, at the suggestion of Mrs Farmer was in made public death. thai the notary public The statement will be after Mrs.

Farmer's lie realitv or the s.rrival a little "confi ssion" Is said to be in a statement of tho entire life woman, particularly since her in this country from Ireland, less than nine years ago, her CMiploj nient In Biiighamton and Buffalo, her meet ini; at the latter place, in 1 10 1, with Farmer, their rriage and removal to Itrownsvillo, Jefferson county, the birth of their son Peter, at that placo on September 2, and th planning of the killing of Mrs. lironnan, a woman of some property in order that Teter Farmer, when he grew up, might be land owner, a man of wealth as hln father had not been. Father Hickey declines to discuss th' statement beyond the fact that the'womau has concenlcd nothing, but it is said that she has gone into detail freely in telling of her plans for the crime, her commission of it, and when she had done It, of her husband's complicity in what followed. The statement will be reduced to writing from such notes as Father Mickey took during the woman's talk, and is expected here to prove a big factor in case of her husband, whose case now before the Court of Appeals, and who has been generally held to be equally guilty with his wife of murder in tlte first degree. Mrs.

Fanner ban left another statement the existence of which Warden admits, which is addressed to her counsel, 10. H. Wilcox of Water-town, who fought, valiantly to save her the chair. This statement she gives Into the keeping of Mr. Wilcox with the Injunction that it be read to I'eter Farmer, her infant son, when he shall become old enough to understand fully its meaning.

The attorney Is requested not to divulge its contents until such time. This letter for he'r child is said to be another admission of her guilt of her terrible crime and the things ihat prompted her to lt It is said to be full of endearing terms, good advice to the boy to live as he should live, and prayerful words ihat he may be spared through all his life from consequences of her rash act. For the first time since they saw each other in the jail at Waicrtown in June List, Mr. and Mrs. Farmer saw each other last night, and for an hour, in the presence of four people they conversed earnestly, although, It Is said, without much show of emotion by either.

The rules of the prison do not allow personal contact between visiting relatives and convicts, and Mr. and Mis. Fanner, although (lose together, were not in embrace during any part, of the final interview, which lasted just one hour. Why at' Sun's Are Cisappesring. Atnoiie who lu's nached the ago of 7.1 Ms no!
