Explains Brandeis' Activities.

Louis D. Brandeis' part in the New
York and New England railroad liti-
cation in 1892 was defended yesterday
afternoon. before the Senate judiciary
subcommittee investigating MIR. Bran
deis' fitness to be a Supreme Court
justice, by Justice Kelly OF the New
York supreme court. who employed
him. Those opposing Mr.. Brandeis
charged that he had been employed to
wreck the road.
mfr. Brandeis was not employed to
wreck the road" Justice Kelly told the
committee. 1T was already wrecked"
What Mr.. Brandeis had been employ
ed to do, the witness said, was to bring
suits to throw the road into receiver
ship after President Corbin, whose
counsel Justice Kelly was. had resigned
because the directors insisted on pay
ing dividends when the road was los
ing money. President Clark of the New
Haven railroad, he added, subscribed
funds to continue the litigation when
Mr.. Corbin refused to put up any more
money, but MIR. Brandeis, SO far as he
knew, had no knowledge of this.

On one occasion, Mr.. Hapgood said, he

that of course Golfers was paying Mr.

William S. Youngman testified at
length about the Warren will case in
which Mr.. Brandeis was an attorney.
Mr. Youngman, who was Edward

until the police reached the top floor
that the elevator came to a stop.
At the same moment that they
poured out into the narrow hallway a
mechanician in his shirt sleeves
opened the door leading from Legars
private workroom and started down
the hall. Before he could retreat or
slam shut that door the ieutenant's
revolver was covering him. Reach
ing back to his hip, his hand was al
ready on the butt of a blue-metaled
automatic. Before he could whip out
that weapon, however, the ieutenant's
quick eye comprehended the move
ment and his own firearm spoke first.
The shirt-sleeved figure fell in a
heap, where he had stood in the open
doorway.
At the sound of that shot, from
within could be heard sudden calls
and shouts and hurrying steps.
That's Legar," cried Manley, as he
caught sight of the one-armed figure
side by side with a bespectacled Ger
man striving and fighting to push
shut the intervening door. But the
fallen mans body lay in the way, and

peered. squinting-eyed, about the

down on strangely complicated mech

of the Tower window.
But Legar himself had not been

tower room, the master criminal had

stood open and Legar was descend

Manley was joined minute later by

He hailed a taxicab and hurried
eastward to the Owls Nest. Two
minutes after Legar went rocking and

STAY
BEING SOUGHT
THROUGH ATTORNEY FAMILY OF
MELQUIADES CHAPA ASKS THE
GOVERNOR FOR CLEMENCY.

A stay of execution in both eases, and
communication of sentences TO life terms In
the state penitentiary are being sought
before Governor James Z. Ferguson in be-
half of Melquiades Chapa and Jose Buen-
r%ostro, the two men condemned to execu-
ton May 10 after being convicted of the
murder of A. l.. Austin and his son,
Charles Austin, at Sebastian. Published
evidence IN the case has been submitted
to Governor Ferguson by Attorney Frank
{. Pierce of Brownsville. at the request
of relatives and friends of the two men.
Ii i pointed out in the request for Gle
mency in the two eases that Chapa par
ticularly is deserving of a communication of
sentence because of the inquiry Of the
jury in the case before its verdict as 10
whether or not il could render a verdict
of life In prison in one ease, that of Chapa,
and a death sentence for the other, Buen-
rostro. Attorney Pierce also claims that
there is an atom of doubt in the testimony
OF identification, and claims that ii is diff
ficult for an American to identify accur-
ately a Mexican.
Mr.. Pierce has already placed the re
question before Governor Ferguson and
plans to 90 to Austin the latter part Of the
week in the interest of the two men.
