E. J. Brandeis and woman who was supposed to be his wife arrived in Wrangell three years ago en route to the Cassiar on a big game hunt. They registered at the Wrangell Ho- tel as man and wife. There was noth- ing in their manner to arouse suspi- cion that they were not legally mar Tied.
 The records of the Provincial Game Warden at Telegraph Creek show that "Air and Mrs E. J. Brandeis of Omaha, U.S.A." hunted in the Cas- siar in 1920. According to the official record; Mir. Brandeis killed one moose, ore -aribou, two goats, two sheep and one grizzly, while Mrs. Brandeis' killed one caribou, two goats and two sheep.
 Last year the Wrangell Sentinel printed the news that MT. and Mrs E. J. Brandeis of Omaha and New York were again in the North for the purpose of another big game hunt and cruise to the Westward.
 The couple arrived in Seward on the yacht Silver Screen, June 10, 1922. While at Seward it is under stood that Walter Forrest. guide in the party who had taken a dislike to Brandeis notified the Federal off cers at Seward that Brandeis and the woman with him were not married. When the woman was interviewed by the officers she is reported to have admitted that she and Brandeis were living together as man and wife, all though not married. She is reported to have told the officers that Bran deis had refused to marry her as she had expected, and that she wished they would compel him to marry her
 U. S. Marshal H. P. Sullivan then took young Brandeis before Assist ant District Attorney Harry G. Me Cain The young man is reported to have declared that he was married to the woman already, but later to have admitted that he was not. The Federal officers then interceded in behalf of the woman. but Brandeis protested against marrying her. The officers then made it clear to the young man that if he did not correct the omission he and the woman would be compelled to appear before the grand jury. The couple were then married, the ceremony be:ng performed by U s. Commissioner Dan J. Corcoran. The only witnesses were the United States Marshal and the United States District Attorney.
 The party sailed from Seward the next day for the Westward, and pro ceeded as far as Unalaska, where row involving everybody on board, put an end to the expedition. Bran deis and wife returned to Seattle on the Silver Screen, while Captain Kleinschmidt continued on smaller boat into the Arctic.
 The marriage record at Seward shows that when the couple obtained a marriage license each of them made affidavit that they had each been previously married and divorced. It is therefore possible that the woman who was with Brandeis when he was in Wrangell three years ago may have been his wife at that time.
 Mir. Brandeis is young man, prob- ably under 30 years of age. He is cutie dark and from his appearance ii is not unlikely that he is Jew When he was en route from Seattle to Wrangell one of the passengers who had a vivid imagination started the story that Brandeis was Hindu --ince who had recently taken unto himself an American wife whom he i;ad married in New York. The story r-as actually given some credence both on the steamer and in Wrangell But any one hearing Brandeis talk would realize at once that English is undoubtedly his mother tongue. Ht
