Brandt, former valet to Mortimer L. Schlff, who was given a prison sentence of SO years for purported burglarywa started to day byPpeclal Commissioner Hand, act ing on orders from Governor Dlx, Brandt has already served five years of the sentence. The case against Brandt was reopened when a detective who la alleged to have figured In a scheme to send the valet to prison to save a woman member of tbe Schiff household, admitted that the con fession signed by Brandt to jobbery charges kos a" "frame up." . The un derstanding was, according to the" de tective, that Brandt wa to be given "a chunk of money" and be sent out of the country. w , " jtJohn Rogers, the detective In the case, has declared he knew the confession was a frame up," but" said he supposed Brandt also knew it. ' : Ths mind of Leonard Bourne, the former Schlff servant, who "furnished the Information that established the robbery," was also a blank when he faced the grand Jurors today. - Bourn wa the "third man" In the Schlff house the night of the "burg lary," At the request of Howard S. Gans, Schlff s lawyer. Bourne was taken before the grand Jury yesterday by Dis trict Attorney Whitman. Brandt "was sent to prison on a charge of having broken Into the Schlff house hold and stolen several hundred dollars. Charging that the efforts to free Brandt from, prison "is a conspiracy, wicked tale, designed to' reflect on the honor of a virtuous wife and mother," Delancey Nlcoll, attorney for Schlff, de clared In ; open court jtoday that he would prove his assertions to the world and would drag Into the light a certain newspaper publisher who had used Brandt to strike -at the millionaire.

I will drag it all Into the light and show that Brandt said he was in the house on Invitation from Mrs. Schiff J. will show how the story was conceived and also those who aided him In publishing it. Schlff intends that the entire story be made public, so that the responsibility may be shown." Myrabeau Towne, -who Is representing Brandt, resented Nlcoll's statements, de claring that rather than that tbe woman should become involved, Brandt ' was willing to spend the remainder or his term in prison. . ,V; Detective Joseph Avooldridge, who ar rested Brandt, testified regarding the alleged manufactured ' record, on the strength of which Judge Rosalsky sen tenced Brandt to 10 years' Imprisonment Witness Comes From New ork to Testify Against Holbrook and.
