Airing Of Old Murder Case
Through Attorneys
Efforts

New York. Feb. l0.-An airing in
court will be given to the case OF
Foulke E. Brandt. now serving SEN
tence of thirty years Imprisonment
for burglary and assault In the home
of Mortimer L. Schiff. where he was a
valet. Several lawyers have interest
ed themselves in the case since Brandt
after serving nearly five years Of his
long term. recently appealed in vain
TO Governor Dix for pardon. Through
their efforts writ of habeas corpus
was obtained in the case today.
The prisoner has asserted that he
pleaded guilty to crime he did not
commit in order to shelter the repu.
tation of a woman in the Schiff house
hold and that at the time Of his plea
he was promised clemency.
A petition based on these grounds
for the writ of habeas corpus was
granted by Supreme Court Justice
Gerard. who directed the warden of
Clinton prison to produce the prisoner
at a special session of the supreme
court here on Tuesday morning Feb
ruary 13.
Brandt. described as a handsome.
attractive young man OF about 25
years, declared at the time Of his ar
raignment and plea to the burglary
had discharged him srom service ae
valet after his employer had been
shown by Mrs. schiff letter Brandt
had written to her regarding his am
bition for a college education. Short
ly afterward Brandt entered the
Schiff home. met Mr.. Schiff, assault
ed him with bowling pin and two
days later was arrested.
In addition to the assault, from
which Mr.. Schiff suffered no serious
injuries. Brandt was charged with the
larceny Of $500 worth of jewelry. Ac-
cording to the record Of the court it
has since been alleged that no evil
dence was produced to show that
Brandt forced an entrance to the
house which is necessary for convic-
tion of burglary in the first degree.

SWFzER DESIGN
 MEETS WITH FAVOR
Committee Representing II. D. q. Re. ceive Congratulations Upon Monu-

Little Rock, March 1.-The commit tee in charge of the selection of a de- sign fdr the monument to be erected on the capitol grounds to the Women of ishe Confectionery, are receiving many congratulations upon their gd3u taste in selecting the Sweizer design rather than us'a Kinney design, upon which so great fight has been made.
 Fannie Ransom Williams, president of the North Carelina Division of the U. D. C., writes that the monument to be erected ill that state, on the do nation of Col. Ashley Horne, will not be on the Kinney de ign, as announc- ed by the Attends of the Nashville sculptress.
 Mrs. Margaret A. Tiotlnor, of New Orleans, who has been foremost ir. opposition to the Kinney design, writes Gen. J. Kellogg, member of the Arkansas committee, congratulating the committee, and addirg: "The de- sign chosen for monuments to the Women of Arkansas may not be my ideal, perhaps not yours, yet is one you msy we'll be proud of. With Fannie Ransom Williams influence and it's generous donor predisposed against it, hardly think the Kinney design will be selected for the North Carolina monument, although Gen. Walker and his friends had spread throughout several papers the report that Col. Horne's gif9 was made with the condition that it was to be cast after tho Kinney design. Have splen- did letters from leaders of Florida veterans and from. Gen. John, G,. Ran kin of the Martin Walt Camp U. c. ", eff Texas, saying they have formally protested and are urging me to keep on with the gdod work"
 These opposing the Kinney design are working to prevert its erection in any Southern State.
