investigating the circumstances OF the
young mans conviction. Ffsher-Hansen
said he was in the dark regarding the
specific charges against Brandt. "as he
had told me he had made an arrange
u1ent Whereby everything would be salts
factory; that he was under promise not
TO discuss the facts in the case; that
he was aided and advised by Mr.. Cans;
that the sehiffs were taking a kindly
interest in him, which statements were
borne out BY the fact Of Mr.. Cans visit
to him in the Tombs. the fact that they
provided him with food from outside
restaurants and other things"
The decision Of Supreme Court Justice
