went back toward my home. We
found what we thought were Mr. Rob
inson's tracks on Second street and
traced it to a point possibly two blocks
from our home. Here the tracks
stopped abruptly and no further trace
was found until within 75 yards OF
home, where a wagon had turned ab.
ruptiy into the road and where we
found a series Of footprints where
there had been a struggle Of some
kind and where a body appeared to
have fallen At the same place were
traces of where a mans feet and body
had been dragged a short distance.
but further than this and the wagon
tracks we could find nothing. The
neighbors further south say they heard
a wagon at top speed go south late
Saturday night This is all we have
learned up to the present time"
L. E. Summers stated this morning
that as he was retiring Saturday night
wagon stopped almost directly n
front Of his home on South Second
street and within the rays Of an elec.
trie light He saw some men get out
Of the wagon and apparently engage

slight scream and shortly afterwards
the wagon rolled on. The possible ex.
PLANTATION Of this came Sunday morn
ing when il was learned that some
man living south Of town had learned
by phone that his son was in the city
under the influence Of intoxicating #
Quor and that this man had come to
town in a vehicle and had taken his
son home Mr.. Summers said this
happened before 10 o'clock.
Whether the screams Of the drunken
boy were the screams heard by Mrs
Robinson is subject to conjecture. Il
they were, the mystery OF the Wagon

practically solved.

IS MOVE FOR sRANoT's RELEASE
PRESS AGENT "sTuNT?"

Mr.. Schin's supporters also are en-
deavoring to discrcdit the disbarred at
torney's and Brandt story on the ground
tina Fischer-Hansen started the recent
movement to get the man pardoned as a
press agent stunt to bring publicity to
a one-act sketch the former attorney
has written and planned to play In
vaudeville. This sketch. called The
Law Is founded on the Schiff burglary,
and In IN the hands OF Boyer g. Losec. n
firm Of theatrical agents at No. 26 West
Thirty-nfnth street. Daniel L.osec was
in consultation yesterday with Judge
Rosalsky. Losec's statements. however.
do not sustain the publicity theory.
"Fischcr-Hansen came to us about
two months ago." said Mr.. Losee to an
Evening World reporter to-day. IAN
told us about a sketch he had written
founded on an incident In his legal
practice. He said the name OF Car.
Fischer-Hansen would be a big feature
on Broadway and he wanted us to put
him out In the sketch. We took 1t un-
der consideration and prepared to go
ahead with the thing.
There was nothing said about Brandt
until after tho papers began printing
stories about his application for n par
don. Then FIscher-Iiansen said to me:
That's great stun for US. This re-
awakening OF public interest In that
case In just what we want. Let's take
advantage OF IL and get Brandt IL he
IL released. to appear In the sketch
He did not intimate to me in n way
he had anything to do with starting the
movement to free Brandt-just said he
saw in 1t "A good opportunity for pub
licity."
The claim Is made in behalf Of M.
Schir that the notes from Brandt to
Mrs. Schin. found at the time of his dis
charge from Schif's employ show In
themselves the falsity Of the mans
,ory.
Further contradictions to statements
made by Fisher Hansen were addei To

ter 4. Bayless. the lawyer 1r1ndt first
