SCHIFF NAMED
Attorney for Schiii lniect> Woman's Name For First Time in Brandfs
 Legal Fight For Freedom.

New York, Feb 20-Out of a mazc ef legal pyrotetehnics tad2y at the op- ening of the Investigation before Com missioner Hand of the ease of F. z. Brandt, who is fighting for freedom from thirty year sentence imposed oy Judge Rosaliski for alleged bur glarious entry of the home of Morti- mer L. Schiff, by whom he was en- ployed as valet, came most startling developments,
 The first was the dragging info the scandal of the name of Mrs. Schiff by her own husbands counsel Delaney Nichol.
 The second was the statement ci District Attorney Whitman, who fore. ed to show his hand 10 safeguard his own plans, who declared that M L. Schiff, and his former counsel, How ard s. Gags, may be indicted by the present grand ilGy for conspiracy in sentencing Brandt to jail. The Dis trict Attorney made this statement as a warning to Governor iDx's con- missioner, Judge Hand, who is con- ducting an independet investigation ollu " ilO, idu DCCli dDIt lO I1dhC Schiff and Cans appear before him as witnesses, would have been able to give them an immunity bath.
 The mention of, Mrs. =Schiff by De- laney Nic'hol was made the more amazing by the declaration of Attor ney General, Carmody before Judge Hand that at no time previous has the name of woman been injected into the case.
 Attorney NichoL introduced Mrs SchiM into the ease during tit With District Attorney Whiteman, when he declared: q represent MT, Schiff per sonally in this capacity. It is my duty to do ala in my power to refute this wicked tale, this astonishing ull- heard of tale involving the aonor of a family and the reputation of vir- tuCfIs wife and mother. I represent a man whose house w'as entered by d burglar and whose wife was slander ed. I will not allow anything to be held back. I'H expose this man, Brandt's story, that he went to the Schiff home on the night of March g. 1907, at the invitation of Mrs. Schiff. I'll tear away the mask that, he has assumed, of enduring suqerirg to save a woman.'
 Putting all responsibilities of this new turn to the case squarely up tC M. l.. Schiff and his attorney, who face indictment by the grand jury and probably will soon themselves be on trial, M Town declared:
 My client does not claim to be all immaculate knight, but if this inquiry I is to be conducted along the lines proposed by Mr. Nichol, Brandt with draws his petition fer executive elem ency. MT. Schiff should have taken his day in court when he had the opportunity. He did not tell his story to the grand jury five years ago, nor did he complain to the court that this man Brandt was slandering "a member of his household, nor did he kick him downstairs when he had him in his power. Brandt has remained in the penitentiary for fiy/ years rather thar cast aspersions on the name of a wo- man. I want it understood that if the purpose of this inquiry is to pry into that matter. my client will object tc l the proceedings. He would rather re. main in prison fifteen years longer.'
 The case was adjourned until nex week.
