Nathan Young OF Al Bowery and Paul

he members Of Monk Eastman's gang,
were arrested late Yesterday afternoon
by Detectives Finn and Stephens of the
Union Market station, on a charge that
they conspired with Mrs. Ray BrHndeis to
do up her husband, Bernard, dentist Of
262 Second street.
The arrests were made on warrants
issued by Magistrate Hogan In the Essex
Market police court. who also issued a
warrant for the woman's arrest. The
police were looking for her last night.
but at her address, 100 East Third street, it
WAS said she had gone out Of town visiting.
Mrs. Brandes, who isn't 20 years old,
was married to Brandeis about year ago.
Her maiden name was Ray Rosenboch
and she ia the daughter of a wholesale
grocer in Winnipeg. Manitoba, After their
marriage Brandeis opened the dentist
shop in the new fiat house at 282 Second
street. About three months afterward
the couple separated and she went to live
at the East Third street address. Why
they separated neither OF them will tell
The wife is now a student In an uptown
dental college.
The first the police knew Of the case was
on Monday night when telephone mes
sage from Police Headquarters was re-
received at the Union Market police sta
ton to the effect that Dr. Brandeis was in a
drug store in the neighborhood, where he
had been chased by two thugs. and that
he had telephoned from the drug store to
Police Headquarters asking for protec-
ton. A policeman was sent to the drug
store and found DR.. Brandeis there He
told the policeman that the thugs waylaid
him but that he had managed to break
away from them
The police next heard from Brapdeis on
Tuesday afternoon, when he appeared in
the Union Market station with three young
men who, he said. would furnish the neces-
sary proof that his wife had entered into
q conspiracy with two members of the
Eastman gang either to kill or to disfigure
him. He declared that she was insanely
jealous of him. The men were Lewis Berger
of 1856 East Ninety-third street, Samuel
Frieder of 3ls East Third street and Samuel
Herschkowitz of 40 Lewis street.
Brandeis's story was that after he had
been escorted home from the drug store on
Monday night two tough looking young
men came into his Office several times
One of them said he wanted tooth pulled,
While the supposed patient was In the
chair. he said, Herschkowitz called him to
the door and whispered to him that the
two men inside were in a conspiracy to
assault him, and were the same ones who
tried to assault him earlier in the evening
Brandeis ran to the street. and moment
later saw his two visitors dart from tho
place and disappear toward First avenue.
After making this statement to Detectives
Finn and Stephens, Brandeis handed them
afidavts signed by Berger, Frieder and
Herschkowitz. giving the particulars Of the
alleged conspiracy. The affidavits we're
almost word for word the same, and were
sworn to before Sigmund Friedel, notary.
In them the three declare that on the
afternoon Of Oct. 10 they were In a barber
shop at llS Lewis street with Young when
Bremen came in and said to Young: Mrs.
Brandeis is in the candy store next door,
and wants to see U.s.
followed Young and Bremen into the store,
where they heard Mrs. Brandeis agree to
pay them $500, according to the wording Of
the affidavits, ito dshgure or to do away
with Brandeis altogether" and that an
advance of $50 was to be paid that day
and the balance when the job was done"
Brandeis, his witnesses and the detectives
went to the Essex Market police court
yesterday, where Brandeis swore out
warrant for the arrest OF his wife, Young
and Bremen, and the witnesses swore to
corroborating affidavits. The two suspects
were arrested in cafe In East Houston
