News Item
The Funeral of Mr. Jones took place at Earlville [Madison Co. NY]. We judged that some 2,000 to 2,500 people took part in the mournful ceremonies. The services indoors were conducted most impressively by Prof. Brooks of Hamilton. This concluded the body was turned over to the Masonic fraternity for Ritualistic burial. The deceased was a member of Hamilton Masonic lodge and that body had charge of the funeral. The Masonic brethren present consisted of the Hamilton Lodge, Sanger Lodge of Waterville, Sherburne Lodge, Morrisville Lodge and detachments front the Norwich lodge, and those of other towns. It is estimated that about 250 brothers were present. the entire body was formed in line under direction of Marshal Whitman S. Clarke, and proceeded to the Earlville House, the body having been brought into the public square in front of the house. Dr. Palmer, Worshipful master of Hamilton lodge, performed the ceremony belonging to that locality, assisted by Rev. D.E. Loveridge of this village as chaplain. This concluded, the line of procession was formed and marched to the cemetery, the Waterville Cornet Band playing a dirge. At the Cemetery the ceremonies were concluded, and the procession reformed and returned to the village led by Clayton's Band.
The occasion was one of grief and on every hand, we heard naught but expressions of sorrow at the sudden and awful dispensation that had overtaken a worthy citizen and his family. During the ceremony and indeed ever since the shooting, the grief-stricken widow as attended by her father, Hon. M.N. Campbell, whose daughter she is.
The people at Earlville are still in a feverish state of mind, and had a good opportunity offered on Monday, or for some time after that, we believe the county would have been saved any expense for the execution of Brady. Now however, all have settled into the belief that the law will fully avenge the death of poor Jones and equal and exact justice be meted out to the murderer. Nothing less than this will satisfy the people.
On Saturday evening Mr. John Jones, father of the murdered man, came to Norwich and visited the prisoner in jail. He entered the jail in company with Sheriff Brown and others, and Brady refused to come out of the cell, but being told that Mr. Jones of Boonville was there he came out. Although he insists that he had worked for Jones many years ago, he could not recognize him, only he thought Mr. Jones' face looked familiar. Brady named people living in the neighborhood. He asked Jones if he did not remember an Irishman that lived opposite to his house who had a lame hand, also a man who had some domestic difficulty in the neighborhood who he (Jones) said was worth $50,000. Mr. Jones did remember these and other circumstances, but the change in Brady's appearance was so great as to obliterate him from his memory. The events occurred about the close of the war. Two brothers of the murdered man also visited Brady on Sunday, but the latter refused to talk [unreadable] present. He says that -?- have not told the truth about him, but he makes no such complaints about the extra Telegraph published last week.
Coroner Lyman visited the jail on Monday and delivered a coroner's warrant to the sheriff and had a talk with Brady. The prisoner said he felt much better after his talk with the coroner. He still insists that the Canada parties were the instigators, indirectly of the murder and so they would be of his execution. On Tuesday, Brady was very quiet, refused to converse or to see any visitors.
Brady tried, for several days the starvation dodge, but on Monday evening Mrs. Brown took him some toast, dried beef and tea and told him to eat. He concluded to comply with her request, his long fast making him quite easily persuaded on that subject. After eating the toast and drinking the tea he said he would like to have another piece of toast about half as large as the one he had eaten. Mrs. B. complied with his request but gave him a full sized piece which he readily devoured. On Tuesday morning he took his breakfast of the regular prison fare. He has, probably, concluded that the starvation dodge will not be agreeable and now quietly awaits his doom.

A sad case of drowning occurred in this village [Morris, Otsego Co. NY] last Sunday. The facts are as follows: At about 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, four or five little girls were bathing in the Butternut Creek, a few rods above the Broad Street Bridge, and one of them ventured out where the water was seven or eight feet deep. The children all commenced screaming, which attracted the attention of C.F. Whitcomb, who with Will Leonard immediately ran to the spot and plunged in and with the aid of a rake succeeded in bringing the body out of the water. It was at once removed to Mr. Leonard's house, where a doctor had already arrived and all was done that could be to restore her to consciousness, but life was extinct. The body was taken to the house of her parents on the upper Factory ground. The girl's name was Hattie Bogart, aged about 11 years. Her parents had gone to New Berlin, but were immediately sent for. The family have the sympathy of the entire community. A sister of the drowned girl attempted three times to save her and barely escaped with her own life. Morris Chronicle
