“Lord” Brassy Diet in Jail.

Chicago. Feb. I —“Lord” William Brassy died in the county jail of alcoholism. Brassy, who was 55 years old, won his title from his fellow prisoners because of his distinguised appearance. He came from England six weeks ago and went to Montreal, Can. When he reached Chicago he had spent his money for drink, and on Jan. 18 was sent to jail for defrauding the Edelweiss case. “Lord” Brassy frequently declared “many of the best people in England" were his friends.
