BRANDT IS ALIVE.
Some Startling Testimony in the
Meyer Case.

Some Startling Testimony in the
Meyer Case.
New York, May 11-Dr. O'sullivan,
associate counsel in the defense of DR..
Meyer, received letter from NJ. ].
Bretz, denying certain statements in
the letter of Clerk Price, of the county
jail in Chicago.
The writer said DR.. Meyer did not
attempt to take his (BretzO wife to Col
orado to poison her, as Mr.. Price had
stated.
81 have often been in the society of
DR.. Meyer" Bretz wrote, but there was
no talk of poisoning anybody"
Now want to tell you an important
matter. Brandt, or Baum, known as
Wetzel, is still alive. 1 saw him in
Phoenix, Ariz., about two months ago.
1 met him in a saloon kept by man
called Palmer and we talked a great
deal. Brandt said he was very badly
off, and had been in Jail in Monterey,
Mexico, for some time. 1 was then out
of work and could not help him"
1.-The last time wrote Bretz, 81 ever
heard of Brandt was when l received
a postal card from him dated Silver
City, N. NJ. He said that when he had
enough money he would go to the City
Of Mexico. He said Mexico was the
best place for swindling people
by means of counterfeit mon
ey, and there was not the
slightest chance of detection or
punishment. l wish l had kept that
last postal card.
"As sure as there is a God in heaven
Brandt is alive and you will surely
hear from him, but it will be after DR..
Meyer is hanged.
DR. Meyer and myself did not part
friends, but if 1 were called on the
stand I could tell a good many stories
about him.
IF you knew Meyer as well as I do,
you would know he could not poison
anybody, as he is too stupid, and [
could tell a good many stories about
his stupidity"
The defense attached a good deal of
Importance to this communication.
The proceedings this morning were
opened by recalling Frank Snyder, the
man who drove the hearse containing
etery. The burial permit to which the
name of Gustave Baum was attached,
was handed him. He identified it.
1.-The people rest" said Mr.. McIn-
tyre.
Mr.. Brooke then read a long series
of resolutions, urging the court to dis
miss the Indictment against DR.. Meyer.
The recorder denied Mr.. Brooks mo-
ton.
Mr.. Chandler, for the defense, began
his argument upon reassembling after
recess.
The witness called for the defense
was Professor Henry P. LOOMS, who
described the symptoms of arsenical
poisoning. From Brandts symptoms, as
described by Mr.. Minden, the witness
concluded death was caused by dysen-
terry.
Counsel for the defense gave out, af-
ter adjournment startling statement
to the effect that the prosecution had
attempted to bride Mrs. Meyer to turn
states evidence, failing in which she
had been drugged in an effort to secure
a confesson.

Lexington, KY. May 11.-Hon. William
G. Owens, Colonel Breckinridge's chief OBJ
ponent, is to speak in Lexington some day
next week not yet decided upon
The women of this city have conceived
the idea of emphasizing their protest
against Breckinridge's candidacy by per
sonally joining in making this meeting a
big ovation for Owens The eight boxes
at the opera house are to be filled with
representative women of the Blue Grass
region, who have heretofore taken no pub
lie interest in politics, and the body of the
house will have large delegations of Wo-
men. An informal meeting was held to-
day, to arrange plans, and a petition is
being circulated for signatures of those
who will attend the Owens meeting.
Already q. score of the best known wO-
men in central Kentucky have signified
their intention to join the movement. II
is possible the action of the women NAV
result in turning the meeting into a popu-
lar protest against Breckinridge's candi-
dacy, rather than a straight out Owens
meeting, and that Mr.. Owens may be onlv
one OF number of speakers.
The women are so thoroughly aroused
that they are Withdrawing patronage from
merchants favorable TO Colonel Breckin-
ridge and in several instances old family

their sympathy for the colonel.

vessels found fishing without license.
and the case of the Canadian govern
ment is further strengthened by the
