Turks May Concede Something. The Turkish delegates to the peace conference do nuot know the pracise intentions of their governmen: with respect to the note, but they predict that its answer soon will be given and that it will afford no grounds for ac- cusations that Turkey is playing for time.

The record isn't in the prisoner’s favor. He is not a mar- tyr and as an individual is entitled to little consideration. 1 have no sym- pathy for Brandt, but I have great re- tice. Brandt pleaded guilty to the crime of burglary in the first degrea and was sentenced to thirty years' im- prisonment. There is mo doubt of his guilt. He admits it. Sentence Was Excessive. “Having carefully examined the en- tire record in the case, I have reached the conclusion, after mature delbera- tion, that Brandt's.sentence was ex cessive. “It has been decided that the courts are powerless to render aid In this case and the omly help which Brandt cap [ now get is through the exercise of ex« ecutive clemency. Has Promised to Be Henest. “Brandt has confessed his sins. Ha has told me the truth. He sppeals te me for mercy. He gives positive as- surance that he will not hereafter of- fend against the laws, and he prom- ises to lead an honest, a respectable and an industrious life. 1 want is give him a chance to prove the sin- cerity of his promises to meke good and to redeem himself.” WHITMAN SATISFIED. There Was Sufficient Cause for Commutation. Believes New York, Jan. 17—“Tt seems to me, entirely on the records here, that there was sufficient cause to justify the commutation of the sentence,” said District Attorney Whitman tonight, commenting upon the release by Gov- ernor Sulzer of Folke E. Brandt en whose application for pardon last year the prosecutor made a report to Gov- ernor Dix. “My recommendation which I assume is_before Governor Sulzer, was made to Governor Dix a year ago.. The report was made just as all others are made at the request of the gov- ernor a thorough examination of all the records obtainable of the proceed- ings which led to the conviction and sentence.” Judge Otto A. Rosaisky, who sen- tenced Brandt, and Mortimer L. Schiff, Brandt's former employer, would net comment on the case. A DAY OF SMALL RIOTS IN NEW YORK.
