Author Ieclares Cleveland Letter to
Ba Genuine and Blames Demo
cratic Committee for His
Trouble.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 24 Brough-
ton Brandenberg-, who is held by the
loeal police as . fugitive from Justice
in New York, says he was engaged in
working up a great industrial scheme
from which he expected to realize over
50.000 within a year at the time of
his arrest. This is spoiled now. he
says.
Continuing the account of his recent
life, the writer saya that the name
-D. W. L. Leonard," under which he
registered. Is one he has used for the
past several months. He had with
him at the time of his arrest his step,
son, James Cabanne, of St. LoUu, wn0se
mysterious absence from hla home has
led to the belief that he was kidnaped.
During hla Incarceration he has en
trusted the lad to a Mrs. Hose, in this
city.
When Brandenberg was asked about
the allegation that he "faked" the
Cleveland article, which criticised W.
J. Bryan and lauded President Taft
he said:
Declares Letters Genuine.
"The fact that the sentiments, ex
pressed were those of Mr. Cleveland
has been proved by private corre
spondence which the former President
had with other friends. He often
wrote for pay while he was president
of the advisory board of the Equitable
Life Assuranc , Society, and it was in
his office that I met him and talked
about the articles. It was there also
that I received the articles from him
"I have committed no crime except
in the eyes of those who I think tried
to do something for the Republican
party. Does any one really believe
that I would take a chance on being
disgraced for the 500 I received for
the article .1 sold to the Times? Pow
erful influences sought my conviction
because of the effect the paper had
on the campaign. The Democratic
Central Committee commenced the
campaign and then two big newspa
pers got into tha fight against me.
"My sole aim since I left Ne.- York
City January 31 has been to earn
enough money to enable me to fight
for vindication. I have wandered all
over the country, visiting small towns,
writing newspaper and magazine arti
cles. I have been 'in danger constant
ly of being discovered and have had
many narrow escapes."

thrilling tale today. He told how at

nuriiiguin, jjei posing a j Dr. Carl
Rhelmder. a German automobile agent,
and as a physician, to account for his
Intelligence and education, he became
popular in society, and how in Bridge
vllle. a little town nearby, he managed
a pool room of which the town was
trying to rid itself, and then became
involved in a shooting affair which led
to a feud. He described narrow es
capes from arrests in New York and
elsewhere and how later he kidnaped
his small stepson, Jamea Cabanne,
from the child's grandmother's home in
St. Louis and spirited the little one
away in a wicker basket.
"My wife, who is in New York, knows
all about my predicament and when I
took her small aon front the home of
his grandmother in St. Louis I acted
with her authority. I learned that he
waa pot being properly cared for and
we determined, handicapped as I was,
to take him to California, whither Mrs.

sible to join. us.

"'I found, the hnv nlavlno- in

neighborhood of Mrs. Cabanne's house.
uu ne agreed witn me that it would
be best for him to go where he could
be with those who loved him. He was
eager to go. He gladly climbed into
the big wicker basket that I secured
to smuggle him aboard tha train and
into my berth, and he has been with
me ever since. The risk of having him
was great. I have telegraphed Mrs.
Brandenberg, and upon receipt of a
telegram of authority from her the boy
will be sent to her at once.
"It is not likely that I shall resist ex
tradition. The charges against me have
been so widely discussed that this is
an old story. Mine is a peoullar situa
tion. I may have to serve a prison
sentence because the circumstances
that would clear me are known only
to myself. It will be hard for me to
go back after having seen a glimpse
of a bright future, but I can only hope
for the best."
Chief of Police Cook said today a
message from District Attorney Jer
ome, of New York, advising him that
a copy of tha indictment against Bran
denberg had been forwarded to this
city, and requesting the chief. In case
the accused waa admitted to bail, to
ask that the amount of his bond be
placed at a high figure, had been re
ceived. The attempt to secure the ex
tradition of Brandenberg will be made
before Governor Gillett as soon aa the
necessary documents arrive from the
