Even Presentment Favoring
Valet Brandt Now Seems
/ Unlikely.

animation yesterday OF Mortimer l..

two months investigating as to whether
Folke E. Brandt, SchifT's former valet,
was the victim of a conspiracy practi-
cally wound up its work. 1t is probable
that the grand jury will vote today
against indicting anybody. They stand
twelve to eleven against indictments. A
vote may be taken today as to whether
presentment shall be made that
Brandt was not guilty of burglary, the
crime for which he was sentenced to
thirty years in Clinton prison. There
Jurors were divided twelve to eleven in
favor of returning such presentment.
The district attorney questioned Mr..
Schfff, but now and then jurors put in
cerning Brandt that varied little from
the. statement he made to the public on
February q. He explained why Brandt
was discharged from his employ on
ing letter to Mrs. Schiff; how Brandt
had written three days later to Mrs.
Schiff asking her pardon, and that she

and that leniency would be a mistake
Mr.. Schiff said that he merely wanted
justice and that he acted toward Brand
as any other citizen would have don
toward a murderous criminal
In reply to a question as to why h
supposed Brandt received SO severe
sentence. Mr.. Schiff said he thought
was because Brandt had attempted t
kill him. He looked upon the man as
burglar and a man who wouldn't sto

said, that he had got in through an opel

The House Committee on Naval Af-

Buildings and Grounds are "hog=tied"
today so far as any authorizations for
battleships or public buildings are con-
cerned. Despite the sentiment in these
committees for battleships and pork

spoken by binding two-thirds vote,
and the committees have been told to
be good.
Battleships and public buildings went
down together to a second defeat at the
Democratic caucus last night. The
party council had been called in the
hope that the caucus would rescind its
former action declaring against the reg
