berry. Some of the loot was found in
Kinsman's home. in Boston, where the
money was enclosed in the original

A woman's love of 1nery which

led to the capture of the highwaymen.
Anna Hull, better known as "Swede
ANNIE and Myrtle Hoyt are both
held as material witnesses.
The Hull girl recently returned from
Albany wearing a new and expensive
hat and a new suit of clothes. The
Hoyt girl was Jealous, and she told
the chambermaid in a Tenderloin re-
sort thai "Swede Annie and her
friend" had gone away IN a taxicab
ride to Albany.

tron in disguise. Then the trail be-
came clearly evident and New York

ton and other cities located Kinsman
and Swallowed him until the arrest yes
terday.

afternoon that a fourth arrest had
been made in the taxicab robbery. He
declined to give the name of the man
arrested, and said further that he
would not be arraigned today.

ters this afternoon that Kinsman and
Albruzzo had confessed and that Kins-
man had taken detectives over the

berry. The highwaymen are said tc

erning examinations. Charles Evan,
principal of the East Orange High
School, and Vernon L. Davey, superin-
tendent of school, In conn iunications
to the Board of Education of that city
last night asked that the board deny a
request of the executive committee OF

They said such q change does not meet
with the approval of the faculty. The
matter was referred to a committee,
but latsr an executive session of the
whole body was held and 1t is said that
the stand of the faculty was upheld.
1t is required that all pupils, in order
to be excused from taking final ex-
aminations, must have a percentage of

studies at the end of h first half
years work. The students committee
contends that this conflicts with final

well as the publication Of two school
papers, class night exercise and a func-
ton given by the alumni.
Mr.. Evans and Superintendent Davey
were approached In the matter, but re-
fused to sanction 1t. and learning the
committee intended submitting 1t to
the Board of Education promptly noti-
fled the commissioners they did not
favor the change.
There was some surprise when the
board went into executive session, as
it was expected thai action was to b.
taken on the advisability of modifying
the honor system in the High School
and also in changing the schedule of
sessions In the school. The board was
in session until 1 a. m. 1t leaked out
hat the matters were discussed but
the board members refused to say what
had been done.

sCH|FF REPLIES
TO STATEMENTS
MADE BY BRANDT
Publishes Letters Written by
Former Valet to En-
ployer's Wife.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The Whoie
story of the remarkable case OF touike
e. Brandt, the former servant OF MOT
timer l.. Schiff, who was sentenced 10
thirty years imprisonment for bur-
g~lariously entering Mr.. Schif's house
on the night of March 8, 1907, SO far
as Mr.. Schiff knows it, was given TO
the last night by Mr.
Scbiff's lawyers 1t contains every I'M
portant event connected with the case
in which MIR. Schiff had any part, and
Is the story that Mr.. Schiff sought to
toll before Richard L. Hand, the COM
missioner appointed by Governor DIX
to investigate Brandt's application ior
pardon. but which Mr.. Hand refused
to hear.
Embraced within his statement are
the letters written by Brandt TO MIS-.
Schiff, about which so many stories
have been printed and which until now
have been withheld. An AFFIDAVIT OF
leonard Bourne, third servant IN MI
schiff's home on the night of the bur-
glary, is offered to show that Branot
could not have entered Mr.. Sehiffs
house by way of the coalhole, as ne
swears he did. without committing
burglary in the first degree, as this
crime is defined by the law.
Mr.. Schiff also declares that MIS-.
Schiff's name was frs brought INTO
the case by Brandt himself, who USED
il at first TO save himself from a ling
sentence, again to obtain help FROM
United States Senator Nelson, ana
finally to excite the sympathy of GOV
ernor Dix, of District Attorney WHIT
man, and of the public.
The statement practically accuses
Carl Fischer-Eiansen, who was the
second lawyer Brandt had during the
time intervening between his arrest
and his sentence, and who has since
served q term in prison and has been
disbarred. of planning the s%candalous
stories told by him to the newspapers
one year before Brandt was arrested.
The story that on the night preceding
the day on which Brandt was sem
fenced Mr.. Schiff, Judge Rosalsky, w.
w. Mclaughlin, and a man named
Rothchild, had a long talk at the Cri-
terion Club is vigorously denied by
Mr.. Schiff, who says that he was never
ii the club in his life. The scandals
put in circulation by Brandt and
Fischer-Hansen, Mr.. Schjff says in
conclusion, are those which any dis
charged and %revengeful house ervant
might invent about any employer.
Brandt may be released today on
81, 500 bail.
