New York, May 1l.-Folke r.
Brandt, former valet to Mortimer l..
Schiff was ordered sent back to
Dannemora prison by the appellate
division of the supreme court yester-
day afternoon at New York. The
court was unanimous in dismissing
the writ of habeas corpus granted by
Justice Gerard to Brandt, who had
served five years of 30 year sen
tence for burglary in the first de-
gree.
Mrabeau ]. Towns, Brandts coun-
sci announced that he would take an
immediate appeal to the court OF
appeals and If necessary thereafter
to the United States supreme court.
This is a mere incident in the fight
Mr. Towns said.
There are two opinions. one writ
ten by Justice Miller and concurred
in by the other four justices. and the
other written by Presiding Justice
lngraham and concurred in by JUS
tice Laughlin Both opinions agreed
that Justice Gerard should be re-
versed. The justices said that while
the decision of Justice Gerard could
have been reversed on the one point
and the Judge OF general sessions
before whom Brandt was arraigned
and by whom he was sentenced. had
competent jurisdiction, and that the
writ, therefore, should not have been
sustained the proceedings showed
that Brandt was guilty, on his own
statements, of burglary, in his own
degree. The opinions set aside every
plea made in behalf of Brandt, and
direct that he be turned over to the
warden of Clinton prison to serve out

JOHNNY BOSK HAS
BEEN PLACED
IN ASYLUM
Former Bennington Ball Player
Becomes Deranged.
AS RESULT OF AN INJURY
Was Hit on Head by Pitched Ball
Last eptember-Popular Player
For Two Seasons

News has been received here to
the effect that John Bosk, who had
pitched for the Bennington baseball
team during the seasons of 1910 and
1911, has been taken to Massachu-
sets institution because of mental
difficulty, resulting from an injury
on the head.
After the Bennington team dis
banded last August, he went to the
Brattleboro club and finished the
season in the Twin State league La
ter he went to Utica and was signed
by the New York state league club
for the present season. On Labor
day he played in game in his home
city of Fitchburg and was hit on the
head by a pitched ball, thrown by the
former Rochester University and
North Adams pitcher, and sustained
a fracture of the skull. For many
weeks he was in a hospital, where
an operation was performed, but at
length appeared to have recovered.
and had been working during the
winter at his trade in a Fitchburg
machine shop. Letters received here
not long ago from him, stated that
he was slowly regaining his strength
and that he expected to fill his con-
tract with the Utica club.
The news of his serious affection
will be received with genuine regret,
not only by the Bennington people.
who are interested in the national
game. but by large number of per-
sonal friends made during the two
seasons that he was with the local
team. He was a likeable young man.
unassuming in manner and thorough
ly honest. II was the general opin-
ion here that Bosk, but for his In
jury, would have made a reputation
as pitcher in the minor or major
leagues.

SOLDIERS MAY co
WITHIN TWO DAYS

Peace and quiet reigned supreme in
Rock Island yesterday despite the fact
that important political issues were
before the voters OF the city, and as a
result martial law will no doubt be
lifted from the municipality before
the week has rounded out. Unoficial
announcement that the soldiers who
are still maintaining a watch over the
city would be allowed TO leave by FRI
day gains great credence as it spreads.
Ofhcials refuse to issue a statement
saying that when orders are given, the
time will be at hand for the soldiers
20 march without delay.
II was the intention to allow the sol
diers 10 leave today. The quiet Of the
primary election makes It certain that
they will go In very few days.

C. DANA'S OLD PARTNER,
HARRY M. SC0VEL, IS DEAD

Chicago, April 10.-Harry Mason
Scoyel, an old time newspaper man,
died yesterday of general decline at
the Home for Incurables, 5535 Ellis
avenue, in his SD year. When he was
IA years old he went TO work on the
Detroit Advertiser as a printers "dev-
H. He became an expert compositor,
and went TO the Detroit Free Press
in 1852. The next year he was trans
ferred to the editorial staff
In those days the exchange editor
was a much more important person
age than now. The telegraph was
new, expensive, and uncertain, and
was used by newspapers only occasion
ally.
News other than local was reprinted
from the papers of one city by those of
another
In Detroit Mr.. Scovel acquired a rep
utation for speed, judgment, and &C
curacy in getting the news out Of
other papers into his own that moved
Wilbur F. Storey to bring him to Chi
cago in 1861 as exchange and telegraph
editor of the Times.
The late Francis B. Wilkie, in his
book OF "reminiscences, "Thirty-five
Years of Journalism" has graphic
picture of Scovel in action in the
Times between IL p. m, when the New
York papers arrived, and midnight
when the times had to go to press.
In 1865 NIr. Scovel joined Charles A
Dana in starting the new Chicago Re
publican, which later became the Inter
ocean. His eyes caused his retire
ment from business several years ago
