II Is true that, there may be another

fact that the prisoner Is mistaken IN max /.

he will be undeceived In time to prosecute

SIXTH GIRL ATTACKED
Bay Ridge School Teacher Has
Broken Skull-Man Escapes.

May Chase, twenty years old, school
teacher, living with her mother and two
sisters at No. 41S S0th street, Bay Ridge,
was on her way to a butcher shop last
evening, when a man struck her on the
head with some blunt instrument. Be
fore she could make an outcry he struck
her again, knocking her unconscious.
william Dunno. of No. l26 Soth street,
saw the man dragging the unconscious
girl into a vacant lot nearby. Remem-
bering the many assaults that have oc-
cured in that section in the last five
months. Dunno let out yell and then
started after the man, who ran. Dunne's
cries attracted several others, among
them Mrs Annie Chase, mother Of the
victim.
Led by Dunne-the party took up the
chase toward Fort Hamilton. More than
a half dozen blocks we're covered when
the fugitive slipped into house on the
Shore road and made good his escape.
Inquiries were made about the place

Carl Fischer Hansen is left Without

After the plea Of the prisoner and the oei e.
clIrrence OF the colloquy between him ana
the Judge on March %, 1907 the prisoheL
was arraigned for sentence on April ',
1867 On that date he was represented pS
counsel, but that counsel was certainly JUS

for him TO do but TO ask the court TO eN-
ercise leniency because the counsel was
confronted by the clerks formal record
purporting to show that on the 18th day ol
March. 1907. the prisoner had formally
asked leave TO withdraw his plea OF not
guilty and had pleaded guilty to burglary

than probable that he would be paroied

Gerard Seeks information.

Attorney General Carmody was called up
this noon by Justice Gerard, who asked
him il the Governor had taken any action
in the Brandt application for pardon. and
learned that none had been taken. Justice
Gerard said he was sorry but could not
hold up his decision in the habeas corpus
proceedings any longer. even for the Gov
ernor.
Mr.. Carmody would not discuss the re-
lease Of Brandt by Justice Gerard until he
sees the text OF the decision. He opposed
such action, and filed a brief with the JUS
tlce opposing II. Nevertheless, II is as
sumed by many here who know his views
as TO the justice of freeing Brandt that un-
less the Governor pardons the convict soon
the Attorney General will take no further
step in contesting Brandt's release on the
writ OF habeas corpus.
In his opinion 10 the Governor, Attorney
General Carmody outlines the proceedings
in the case TO date and explains why he
united with District Attorney Whitman in
opposing the swearing of Mr.. and Mrs
Mortimer l.. Schlff. Howard S. Cans and
perhaps other witnesses before Commission
er Hand, 'for the purpose, as stated, OF
opening up the whole matter and showing
that Brandt had attempted 20 assai and
desecrate the fair name OF Mrs. schid."
Mr. Carmody says he opposed this upon
the ground that II had no bearing upon the
