At top, Mortimer /. Schiff; bottom,
Eoulks z. Brandt.

New York, Jan. 17.-Another effort
is being made to secure liberty for
Foulke E. Brandt, who is doing time
in a New York penitentiary on the
charge of burglarizing the home Of
Mortimer L. Schiff six years ago.
Because of the peculiar circum-
stances under which Brandt was con-
victed and sent to prison in 1907, his
time. He was found in Schiff's home.
He was arrested. He was told by
thos high In authority that should he
plead guilty to the burglar charge he
would be given light sentence. Be-
heving he could rely upon the prom
ises made him. he pleaded guilty and
mprisonment--the maximum penalty.
He was taken to Sing Sing and after
a brief stay there was transferred to
Dannemora prison, which is known
as harsh institution where only con-
frmed criminals are immured. Yet
the crime for which he was convicted
was his first offense and he was only
twenty years old.
An attempt to induce Governor Dix
to extend clemency to Brandt a year
ployed the ablest attorneys to pre-
sent the cast against Brandt. One Of
them was Alton b Parker.
There has never been a time since
Brandt's conviction that Mr.. Schin
would not have injected himself into
an application for clemency based upon
contrition and reformation" declared
Mr.. Parker at that time. Instead of
that according to reports, Brandt at
tempted, TO gain the sympathy of the
governor and other officials by posing
as martyr under the infamous sug-
gestion that Brandts presence in my
clients home was to keep an appoint
ment with one dearer than life it
self"
Those who are now asking Gov Sui
ger to extend clemency to Brandt de-
clare that the young man was rail-
roaded to prison. They point out that
in his examination in court he denied
the charge which he admitted in his
plea-in other words, he denied really
having committed burglary, but never
theless pleaded guilty to the accusa-
ton.
District Attorney Whitman made an
investigation Of the case last year. 81
cannot escape the conclusion ran his
report to the governor, that If this
case, with all the evidence obtainabIe,
had been submitted to a trial jury, a
reasonable doubt might have been
created in the minds of the jury as to
whether the defendant was in the COM
plainant's house, as set forth in this
indictment. with burglarious intent,
and am inclined to the belief that
this convict made his plea of guilty
to this indictment either under a mis-
apprehension as to what he was doing
or as victim of Misrepresentation as
to what it involved"
