The caisson which' is te support the

tain their present pace in digging nway
the bottom of the river, said Ralph
Medjesklt engineer in charge of opera
tions, after a personal inspection tour
of the bottom of the river ln company
with ether engineers today.
The engineers seemed te regard the
fact that rock has been strucktln three
places as highly significant, and re
turned with specimens of it.
In the party were Mr. Medjeskl, M.
Br Cafe, resident senior engineer In
charge of construction ; Frank L. Sup
lee, fif Olaaabore, N. J., a member of
the New Jersey Bridge Commission, and
Jeseph Ctfatelfe, secretary of the coin-
mlRRlen.
The trip through the lock nnd into
the chamber fifty-two feet under the
water and ln twenty-two pounds of
pressure, and. with the temperature at
78 degrees was uneventful, and they
returned te the surface after forty-two
minutes.
"Just Ldbe Pullman Car" '
"It. is just like a Pullman car down
there." war Mr. Medeski'ft comment ln
'describing the air chamber. "All that
is missing are a tew spittoons ana tne
upholstery. It Is the finest caisson in
the United States." ."
The rock deposits found consist of
quartz, mica, shale, garnet and horn
blade. The fragments of each will be
placed fn the souvenir case in the Bridge
Commission offices, together with the
silver pick which turned the first earth
In construction of the bridge.
The engineers, clad ln oilskins and
.beets, entered the lock at 10 :20 o'clock.
They remained in the lock three min
utes. The temperature there Is J 10 de
crees. They cave the nppearanca of salt
fishermen ln their rubber hats and long
oilskin coats and beets. Red beets
were most popular, the entire party
wearing them, with the exception of Mr.
Costelle, who were black.
Puff When Trip Ends
The engineers emerged from the lock
puffing nnd sweating, Beads of per
spiration could be observed en Mr, Mod Med
jeskl's beard.
After the Inspection the- men were
served' with het coffee, doughnuts and
cake by Daniel a, uugnes, general su

It was explained that the coffee
drives the air bubbles from the body,
which are accustomed te form when

Of what wonders he had seen since

at Riverside, N. J. ,
Mrs. Brunen is ln the Burlington!
County Jail at Mount Helly. She
waived a hearing last night before Jus
tlce of the Peace Throckmorton, aad)
was committed without bull.
The arrest of "Honest Jehn's
widow is the third made by order of
County Detective Ellis Perker. The
ether prisoners, ledged in the same
jail, are Charles M. Powell, 45 Coepevi
street, Camden, a former circus em-'
pleye, and Harry O. Mehr, manager1
of tbe circus and Brunen's brother-!-
law.
Broke Down and Cenfetved
Powell was arrested early in April'
and kept a close prisoner until he broke'
down three weeks later nnd confessed
that he had murdered Brunen. declar-.
in Mehr had nremlsed him $1000 te
sheet the showman. Mehr was ar v 18
rested immediately, but se far as cans
be learned, has made no confession.
It was reported at Mt. Helly today
that Mrs. Brunen's arrest was the r
salt of "information furnished by per
sons already in custody."
Detective EUU Parker would give he'

ly ln Walt for Weman 1
Fer three davs the two men had beetij
watching for Mrs. Brunen te come tel
Camden, se they could arrest her with-'
out the trouble of extradition. She has,
been living recently ln nn apartment at.
:i029 Ridge avenue, which in held in
the name of "II. C. Mehr, ' and 1 the.
home of his wife. f
A woman who said she was "Mrs..
Mehr" declared at the Ridge avenue ad-l
dress today that she did net believe
Mrs.. Brunen had been nrrestcd. Shel
said that the widow, with her (laugh-1
ter. Hazel, and their mother. Mrs. An-i
gusta Mehr, had gene te Atlantic City
late yetterday.
"Mrs. Brunen is under orders from
her doctor te take a rest,' said Mrs.i
Mehr. "She sold out her Interest In'
the circus months age. She has been
at the seashore resfln? before."
Instead of going te the shore Mrs.,
Brunen went te Camden yesterday andi
apparently visited friends before shot
was arrested.
Cain and Hading approached her
us she walked up Second street.
"Mr. Parker would like ru hnve nv(
talk with you, Mrs. llrunen," one aaldj
as they stepped her.
"Very well, " Mrs. Brunen answered,
"I will go te him."
She was put iu nn automobile andi
driven swiftly te Mount Helly, where)
Parker was waiting.
Interview Net Glen Out
The trooper nnd detective left her
with Parker and MIrs Anna Yoes, bill
secretary.
What wns said at the Interview,
which lasted half nn hour, could net
be learned. At Its conclusion Mrs.
Brunen wus taken before the justice
nnd committed.
Mrs. Brunen was suspected by Parker
almost from the start. He had planned
te arrest her shortly nfter the crime,
but the premature publication of an
important letter "showed his hand,"
nnd he let her alone,, Imping hc would
feel secure grndun'ly. One of the points
which Parker endenvered te make was
that Brunen had been shot nnd killed
at least a hnlf-lieur before. Mrs. Bru
nen gave the alarm.
Mrs. llrunen hns been under sur
veillance et iiHtnntly. While she lived
at the Ridge avenue apartment a de
tective from the local county detec
tives' office, assigned by Mnjer Wynne,
watched the house und followed her
when she went out. Her mall was
watched and her telephone calls noted.
Within the last mouth Hhe was called
te Majer Wynne's office and questioned
for the best pert of three days.
At the icqucst of Parker nethllMT
wns said about these questionings at
the time, as the Burlington County
detcctlve was net ready te arrest her
nnd wished te carry his investlgatiets
further.
