MATRIMONIAL SNARL.
Brandenburg Admits That Mrs. Ca
Banne Is Not His LEGAL Wife,

San Francisco, April 29.-Broughton
Brandenburg, held on a charge of sell
ing bogus letter purporting to be
written by Grover Cleveland, has been
forced to admit that Mrs. Cabanne of
st. Louis is not legally his wife, but
he contended that she was his soul
mate. Brandenburg said she got
divorce from Cabanne in December,
1906, in British Honduras. His atten-
ton was called to his former state
ment to the effect that he had married
ancy unnerved him.
Il will admit" he said, that we are
not legally married under the laws;
of the United States. | will admit we
have no legal standing in the United
States as man and wife, but morally
we are man and wife.
Il went to British Honduras with
Mrs. Cabanne in December of 1906,
and while we were there she got her
divorce, and we fixed up the entire
matter. ! am devoted to her and she
is to me-"
Efforts to obtain information from
Brandenburg regarding his divorce;
from his first wife were unavailing. He
said.
There is technical legal flaw in
connection with that matter, but it will
be rectified. All of the facts are in
the possession of my attorneys"
He declares he will resist extradi-
ton to New York on the grand lar
ceny charge on the advice of his attor-
ney; that he will make fight for the
possession of the Cabanne boy, whose
father is on the way here to get him
and that the courts must decide the
matrimonial mix-up.
The mother of the boy telegraphed
the prisoner from New York to do all
in his power to hold her son. and a
message also was received from Dis
trict Attorney Jerome of thhat city
to hold Brandenburg in not less than
$4,000 bail.
Friends of the writer and his attor-
ney will hold a conference today to
outline plans to resist extradition and
to straighten out the other ends of the
case
