New York, Nov. 1S.-Suspected OF
conspiring to assassinate Hartford
Marshall, an assistant district attor-
ney of New York county. four Greeks,
three of whom were armed with a re-
volver, dirk and razor, were arrested
in the corridor of the criminal court
building. Broughton Brandenberg, the
writer, who was himself in court to
answer to a charge Of larceny grow
ing out of the publication of an art
icle said. to have been written by
Grover Cleveland, caused their arrest.
B%randenberg was passing through the
corridor when he saw the three
Greeks comforting and overheard one
of them say in the Greek language:
"Ill give him the knife; you give
him the gun"
Mr.. Brandenberg said he thought he
heard the Greek mention the name of
Mr.. Marshall. The writer promptly
notified a detective, who, summoning
assistance, surrounded the three
Greeks and a fourth companion who
had Joined them in the meantime.
Assistant District Attorney Mar
shall was unable to account for any
animosity which the Greeks may have
entertained towards him. A theory
entertained by some of the court Off
attack upon Judge Rosalsky, who was
to have sentenced q Greek for assault
ing another.
