Mr. Fertig told Chairman Prender-
CAST at the conference that experts

planned that the city examiners wanted

company, which would have DISRUPTED
the bookkeeping system. The companv
and the city representatives fnally
came to an understanding without the
issuance Of subpnnas
The hearing of the New York and
Queens company application will be
resumed before Chairman Prendergas ST

Of people slop over about a case like
this but an executives duty Ia plain. -
Governor Edwards said that he had
received a telegram from ]. A. II.
Hopkins, chairman of the Citizens'
Union of New Jersey. As with the
Goldenhorn afiidavits, it did not alter
his opinion of guilt, he said. The Hop
kins telegram read:
AS resident of New Jersey. l
urge you to reprieve George Brandon,
under sentence to be executed to-mor-
row August 23) until the additional
evidence now in possession of his at
torney may be thoroughly investigated
and the way cleared to an impartial
hearing Humanity and legal ethics
demand that Brandon should have the
benefit of every doubt and for the
honor OF New Jersey we cannot afford
to execute possibly innocent man
who claims now to have in his possess
sion the necessary proofs of his in
nocence'
Governor Edwards repeated what he
had said in his first snterview, that he
had listened to Mr.. Goldhorn for more
than an hour and had told him he
would have to produce his witnesses in
person.
'"This man McDermit," the Governor
added, was not disbarred because he
did not take care of his man at the
trial. He was disbarred for failing to
comply with the rules of the court as
to prosecuting the writ of error"
Does Not Intend to Worry
The Governor closed by saying that
he did not intend to worry about the
case and that he did not consider that
his attitude in it needed newspaper
publicity or support.
Yesterday there was conference on
the Brandon case at the office of
the Committee of Forty-eight, Is East
Fortieth Street, at which Mr.. Hopkins,
who is chairman of the executive COM
mittee, presided and which was at
tended by Mr.. Goldenhorn.

Belief in Guilt of Man

Pleas From Congressman
That He Grant Clemency

For the second time since George
Brandon was convicted and executed
for the murder of Arthur l.. Kupfer
and Edith fanny, at o'clock On the
morning Of August ~, 1918, in an au-
tomobile on a deserted, moonlit road
way in Railway, N j., Governor Edward
l. Edwards broke his self-imposed. sill
ence yesterday to answer the FIRE of
insistent critics.
Governor Edwards seemed to have
been deeply stirred by the statements
and accusations his failure to grant
reprieve for Brandon have brought
forth. He insisted that his belief was
firm in the executed mans guilt and
that it could not be shaken by offers
OF last-minute evidence of innocence.
tie denied some of the assertions of
l. Faeber Goldenhorn, who tried to
save Brandon from the chair or to OBJ
tain at least postponement of the
execution.
Story of Private Detectives
The occasion for seeking an inter
view with the Governor was a new
story conveyed to those interested in
procuring an investigation of the case.
This was that private detectives had
been employed by the Governor to
look up one, if not more, of the atlantis
who placed Brandon far from the
Railway road when the shots that
KILLED Kupfer and his young friend
we're fired. 1t is insisted by Mr..
Goldenhorn that Governor Edward s
refused to listen to all but one of
these affidavits, and it is for this rea-
son that the lawyer declared his in
tention to keep the case alive until
ms new evidence has been examined.
mo, ! never hired private detec-
tives," Governor Edwards said. There
was no need. There was evidence
enough. / read the article this morn
ing. and l am very sorry that story
like that was printed There were
statements in it that were absolutely
untrue
Governor Edwards asked the reporter
to wait until he had consulted the copy
OF the newspaper that lay on his desk
1T is said here that eight Repre-
sentatives in Congress sent ME tele-
grams asking me to stay Brandon

telegram from a Congressman, not to
mention eight. Nor did 7 receive mes
sages appealing for clemency from

enhorn says. But it would not have
