Brough-ton Brough-ton Brandenberg, novelist and magazine maga-zine writer, who was arrested here last night, as a fugitive from justice in New York on a charge of grand larceny in connection with a political article claimed to have been written by the late Grovcr Cleveland, declares de-clares that he is the "Dreyfus of America," Am-erica," and has been made the "scapegoat" of politics. With the writer, when he was arrested ar-rested at a local hotel, was his small stepson, James Cabanne of St, Louis. Branbenberg had registered as D. W. L. Leonard of London, and after having been taken into custody, explained ex-plained that this was a family name under which he had been traveling for several months all over the United Unit-ed States. He claims that he has been working ou a great industrial ccheme, and that had he not been interfered wdth hero, he would have realized $50,000 within the next year and returned to New York to face his accusers. The police have been closely on his trail for several days, and the arrest was accomplished through a description descrip-tion sent broadcast, including the alias under which he had been travel-1 ing. When he inquired for a telegram for "Leonard" at his hotel, the clerk remembered ths police warning and telephoned for an officer. Brandenberg left Ogden Wednes day. On the train he learned that two little boys, with whom his son had st nick up an acquaintance, wero traveling trav-eling alone fo their mother in this city, and undertook to see them safely delivered. To the mother of these children,' chil-dren,' .Mrs. Hose. 790 Elizabeth street, he will intrust Ids stepson, until his affairs are straightened out. Discussins the allegation that he "faked" the Cleveland article, which criticised W. J. Bryan ami lauded President Taft, he said: "The fact that the sentiments expressed ex-pressed were those of Mr. Cleveland has been proved by private correspondence correspon-dence which the former president bail with other friends, lie often wrote for pay while he was president of tho advisory board of the Equitable Life 1 'AssWnncc society, and it was in his office that I met him and talked about the articles. It was there also that I received the article from him. "I have committed no crime, except ex-cept in the eyes of those who, I think, tried to do something for tho Republican Repub-lican party. Does any one really believe be-lieve that I would take a chance on being disgraced for the $00 I re- ceivetl for the aitlcle I sold to the Times? Powerful influences sought ) my conviction because of tho effect I the paper hid on the campaign. The Democratic central committee commenced com-menced the campaign and then two big newspapers got into the fight against mo. "My sole aim, since I left New York City. January 31. has been to earn enough money to enable me to fight for vindication. . His first stop aft of he lert New York in January, was at Harrington, 1 Del. April 7, he returned to New York, where he remained three days, then visited Buffalo, Cleveland. Chicago. Chi-cago. Lincoln, Neb., Denver, Salt Lake City and Ogden, in most of which cities cit-ies he stopped for short periods to do some work. Regarding his experiences while trying try-ing to dodge the police during the past three months, Brandenberg related a thrilling talc today. He told how, at Harrington, Delaware, Dela-ware, posing as Dr. Carl Rheinder. a German automobile agent, and also as a physician to account for his intelligence intelli-gence aud education, he became popular popu-lar In society, and how in Bridgcville, a little town nearby, he managed a poolroom of which the town was trying try-ing to rid Itself, and then became Involved In-volved in a shooting affair which led to a feud. He described narrow escapes es-capes from arrest in New York and elsewhere ajid how. later, ho kidnaped hlg small step-son, James 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 son from the home of his grandmother in St. Louis. I acted act-ed with her authority. I had learned that he wa not being properly cared for. and we determined, handicapped a-s I was. to take blm to California, whither Mrs. Brandenberg was to go as soon as possible to Join us. "I found the boy playing In the neighborhood of Mr3. Cabanne'a house and he agreed with me that it would bo 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 the train and into my berth, and he has been with me ever sluce. The risk of having him was great. I have telegraphed to Mrs. Brandenberg, and upon receipt |
