LETTER OFFERED
BY Lawyer CANS
Continued from First Pase.)

sion OF Mr.. SchifY, Is said to be a rough
draft OF the letter which Brandt wrote
to Mrs. Schir and which she showed
10 her husband. The contents Of this
letter have already been made public.
The rough draft. however. Is holder In
composition han the letter which Mrs,
schitr finally received.
II Is said on behalf OF Mr.. Cans that
he makes no attempt to deny that he
urged and worked Tor n severe sentence
for Brandt. lie wants an opportunity
to explain why he did 40. under oath.
As TO the contention OF Brandt's sup
portcrs that such an opportunity would
afrord Mr.. Cans an opening TO set up
A plea OF immunity In any proceeding
that might be brought against him. l.
Is pointed out for Mr. Cans that the
Hand inquiry is not an investigation into
any possible conspiracy. but an invesii-
cation into the legality OF Brandt's con-
| yict,op and sentence. The legal ad-
| y.sers OF MIR. dams and Mr.. Schir hold
that any evidence they might give be-
fore Judge Hand could have no possible
bea ring on the proceedings under Way
before the Grand Jury. ,
MIR. Gans's legal supporters have ad'
ylsei him that Mr.. Sclir Is witAin his
rights IN refusing to give up he Letter
he holds. They assert that 1t In MIR
schif's property. On the other hans
the District-Attorney holds that tn
letter Ia the property OF Brandt. ant
that Il was stolen by the police officer
who searched Brandt's rooms without
warrant. This phase of the inve~,iga
ton has only been touched upon.
There IL little doubt among lawyer
that Justice Gerard Will decide in favo
Of Brandt when he settles the habea
corpus action on Monday or Tuesday
