Death, which Frct sought in vain on Dec. 13.

the day after the bodies were discovered in the kitchen of their modest home at 6018 7th Ave. came to him shortly after dawn Friday possibly by accident, more probably by his own will, according to police. He plunged in front of a northbound I. R. T.

train at the Junction Ave. station of the Corona line and was earned two stations to 82d when someone noticed his crushed form. Traced to Tavern So badly was he mangled that identification was not made until Sunday, when Detective Edward Hatrick of the Newtown precinct traced a matchbook found on the body to the Eldorado Tavern at 47th St. and 8th Ave. Frosl had been drinking heavily since the death of his family, and the tavern was one of his favorite hangouts.

As the detective was asking for help, Olaf Erickson, his brother-in-law, of 755 47th with whom he had been staying since the tragedy, Rev. E. P. Costello, Long 111, Dies at 51 Queens Pastor Served In Boro Had Been Navy, Fire Chaplain The Rev. Edward P.

Costello, 51, pastor of Our Lady of Mercy R. C. Church in Forest Hills and for 12 years chaplain of the Brooklyn and Queens branches of the Fire Department Holy Name Society, died late yesterday of a heart ailment in Long Island College Hospital. He had been ill for more than a year, and in the hospital for the'last ten days. During the World War, Father Costello was a Navy chaplain, serving on the U.

S. 8. Maine while that vessel was receiving ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. He was chaplain of New York County Post, American Legion, and also of Seville Post, Fire Department post of the Legion in Manhattan. Ordained June 1, 1912 Born on Aug.

8, 1887 in Manhattan, Father Costello was gradu-ater from St. John's Preparatory School and St. John's College here and was ordained in St. John the Baptist Church on June 1, 1912. In the same year he became a curate at St.

Rose of Lima, Church, Rock-away Beach. During 1917 he was a curate at Our Lady of Mercy Church on Schermerhorn and at Holy Innocents Church, E. 17th St. and Beverly Road. After the World War, Father Costello was assigned to the Assumption Church on Brooklyn Heights.

He was administrator of Holy Ghost Church, 49th St. and 17th in 1930 when assigned by Bishop Thomas E. Molloy to Our Lady of Continued from Page 1 and Amen's men planned to keep him there, if possible. The serious phase of the sudden dismissal of the special grand jury which interested the investigators was the unusual "disposition" of the inaicimenis it was sam naa oeen voted, signed and handed over to the District Attorney's office. Records were being searched to find out whether any of the defendants named ever was arraigned in court or the indictments simply were pigeonholed upon the death of that grand Jury.

The regular practice is for arraignment of the defendants named, the recording of their plea, the fixing of a trial date or a date for motions or demurrers. In Amen's Investigation of this matter, Clinton H. Hoard, an insurance broker of 16 Court has been questioned and given a sub-pena, although he has not yet been called before the grand jury. Hoard was acting foreman of that special grand Jury. "Yes, I did get a subpena," Hoard admitted.

"I have already told all the facts I know to Mr. Amen's office and will be ready whenever they need me again. Call! Dismissal Mystery .7 1 nch I was a member always has which been a mystery to me.

From 1907 to 1937 Mr. Brennan was associated with the legal department of the Interborough Rapid Transit Corporation. He was a veteran of the Spanish-American War. Born in Saratoga Springs, Mr. Brennan was graduated from high school there and worked for a time in the law office of John Foley, former State Sr.iator from Saratoga County before entering Yale University, where he received his LL.B.

degree in 1891. He was admitted to the bar in the same year. Peace Justice at 21 While only 21, Mr. Brennan was elected a justice of the peace in Saratoga County and held that office for several years. In 1898 he left his law practice to enlist as a private in a Saratoga County company for the Spanish-American war, later becoming a corporal.

While in the army he was nominated without his knowledge as a Democratic candidate for the Assembly. That year Saratoga County went Republican, but Brennan led his ticket by more than 1,000 votes. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus in Saratoga County. Surviving are his widiyw, Mrs. Evangeline Brennan; two sons, Joseph Jr.

and James, and two daughters, Anne and Jane Brennan. O'Brien Hails Decision Newsboy Is Contractor Children's Court Justice Herbert A. O'Brien last night hailed the de cision of United States Circuit Court Judge Kelly S. Searl that a news boy is an independent contractor as a blow to free American youth from reformers and radicals. Justice O'Brien, speaking before the Holy Name Society of St.

Nicho- las of Tolentine R. C. Church. Jamaica, declared that the Child Labor Amendment was aimed to destroy all State boards of education and was a trap to destroy parental rights by centralizing power over children in the Federal Government. He called indorsement of the amendment by Israel Amter, State chairman of the Communist party, "highly significant."

While the name of the magistrate jinlcej to the bail bond racket was kept an ofticial secret, it was learned that reports made to Amen investigators revealed the magistrate as one who carried on a night-and-day business in setting bail. At any hour of the night or day he was available, it was charged, for signing ball bonds "at a price." On one occasion, the investigators were told, the magistrate accepted a ball bond which a higher court rejected as several thousand dollars short of the amount of bail set.

The magistrate's name was thus whispered after reports which simi larly involved two other members of the bench, two State senators and a politician otherwise unidentified. Admits Checking Bribe Story Herman L. Waisman, one of Amen's chief aides, in charge of the racket phase of the inquiry, confirmed reports he had spoken to a prisoner in Harlem jail about a story involving one of the other Jurists, a State Senator and the poli- P'ot- Weisman said the story wa told to him by a lawyer Friday, and after talking to Isadore (I Paid Plenty) Juffe in his office Satur- oner. The latter, according to Weisman, refused to confirm or deny reports that he had paid a sizable sum to have a robbery charge fixed and then was jailed anyway because of the furor raised by the Amen probe. Indictments Due Thursday Several Indictments, naming several defendants in connection with criminal subjects not so far discussed as under investigation by Special Prosecutor Amen's extraordinary grand Jury, are to be handed up Thursday, it was learned reliably today.

This information became known shortly before the grand jury convened at 2 p.m. to conclude mirjor matters in preparatin for the hand-j ing up of the indictments. I One of the Jurists and one of the! State Senators were reported to be i involved in the investigations of an alleged abortion ring being madei separately by Amen and District Attorney Geoghan. The name of i the same jurist was said to havij been brought into Amen's bail bond inquiry. The special prosecutor de clared that if the District Attorney! should precede him with an Indict-1 ment of any officials involved in the Amen investigation, it would be "fine" as far as he was concerned.
