Chicago, Feb. 13. Construction of
the scaffold on which five men arc to
be hanged In the county Jail next Fri
day has begun. A deatli watch also

Thomas Schultz exchange cheering
messages. Thomas Jennings, colored,

BAR AMERICAN WIFE.
Earl of Granard May Not Become Lord
Chamberlain.
London, Feb. 13. There are reports
In society that the Earl of Granard,
who has just resigned. Is not likely to
be appointed because of the fact that
his wife, who was Miss Beatrice Mills,
Is an American.
It Is rumored that the speciDc objec
tion to him Is that It would be Im
politic to have an American woman In
a posltlott to Influence the lord cham
berlain, who is the practical arbiter of
British society through his power to
determine who shall be commanded to
attend court functions. The story has
received much currency, but so far la
not backed by anything authoritative.
Nciv York. Feb. 13. Immediately
following the announcement Hint At
torncy General Carmody will report to
Governor Dix that Folke B. Brandt
should bo pardoned and that the attor
ney general will call for an Investiga
tion to determine whether Improper
Influences were used to obtain Brandt'
conviction powerful Influences were
brought to bear on Governor Dix to
convince him that Brandt's case should
not bo reopened.
It was learned that the governor Is
wnverlng. On one side of him Is thf
attorney general demanding complete
publicity In tho Brandt rase and an
open investigation. On the other nve
closo friends of the governor, among
them Alton B. Parker, who am advls
Ing the governor to pay no nttentlon
to popular clamor, stand by his dec!
slou and keep the papers sealed. They
are using as their principal nrgunient
upon Governor Dix that full publicity
in the Brandt case would mean a scan
dal.
Attorney General Carmody, who is
here, said that ho believed tho govern
or would be swayed eventually by the
facts in the case, not by what either j
the friends of the Schiffs or of Brandt i
might say to him. Mr. Carmody win j
osk Supreme Court Justlco Gerard to !
day to delay his decision on the writ
of habeas corpus in order that the case ,
might go back to tho governor, who Is 1
contemplating n ieview of the pro- 1
ceedings.
"I believe," said Mr. Carmody, "that
the pardon will bo granted. The gov
ernor knows that misrepresentations
were made to him. but he is besot by
people who tell him that It would be
wrong to stir tilings up again on ac
count of scandal. However, the gov
ernor has put the case In my hands.
I tackle It for tho first time. I am al
ready convinced that Brandt was the
victim of what looks like n conspiracy
"Tho Issues In this case are more 1m
port.mt to tho state than they are to
the 'infortutiate young man, Brandt
Ther" nppoars to have been a misuse
of ihe courts. Every ounce of authoii
ty In my ofllee will be used to Dud out
who engineered this business."

that the latter was specially appointed,
nnd his deatli made no room In the
membership for a now appointment.
