It appears that Bernstein appeared on Thurs v before Justice James Bratt at Hackensack and made a sworn statement which resulted in the warrant being issued.

On Monday night Bernstein tele- phoned Sheriff Heath at Hackensack saying he had information that a gang was coming from New York to his home, to steal his wife.

The men were allowed to go. Bernsteln then prepared to take his wife to Syracuse, he stated- later, and had motored to the station on ‘Wednesday with the trunks, expect- ing her to join him there as per ar- rangements.
