BRUNEN ASKS FOR EARLY TRIAL Widow of Slain Showman Is Anxious te Prove Innocence, She Declares FEARS DAUGHTER'S ARREST Ne Jey for Mrs. Briinen as Cheery Cellmate Gees "Geed-by. I wluli you luck. This ccrtnlnly Is one fine place te get mvav from." This wns the fnrewell of Kitty Davis, who completed a six months' vntencc In the county Jnll In Mount Helly teriny, te Deris IJruncn, being held there In connection with the nunler of her husband, "Honest" Jehn. Kitty Davis, as she was called In jail, is Mrs. Cotherlne Davis, of Beverly, X. .T., who was convicted of eloping v lth Rebert H. Arnwlne, a justice of the peace of Delran Tenhip, near Brldgcbore, N. J., and father of seven children. Mrs. Davis declared when arrested that she would stick te her affinity but today she had no parting word for the former squire, who still has four months te serve. Arnwlne Is a cook in the jail, but neither Harry Mehr nor his sister, Mrs. Bruncn, will eat the feed he prepares. They bate their meals brought in from the outside. Tired of her short Incarccrutien In the Mount Helly jail, Mrs. Deris Bruncn, wife of "Honest Jehn" Bru nen, murdered showman, Is loud In her demands for an early trial, In order, she says, te prove that she had nothing te de with the crime. She also fears that her daughter, Haiel, who was with her mother, Mirch 10, the night Brunen was slain le his home at Riverside, will be ar rested, charged with being implicated in the crime. j According te Ellis Parker, Burlington I County detective, Mrs. Itrunen Is "losing her nerve." But he savs she will be held in jail until he presents' Bis case te tne urana jury alter clean ing up some loose ends of the case. In conversation with a keeper of the Mount Helly jail yesterday, Mrs. Brunen expressed her renrs for the safety of her daughter.

I want her te come out and tee inc, but I guess the peer child is afraid te for fear she may be put In Jill. Xe Intention of Arresting Girl "Mr. Parker nssurcs me thut he has no intention of arresting her. but you never can tell what he Is going te de. "I lme learned thnt 1 cannot talk te my lawyers until after the meeting of the Grand Jury. That is unfair te me. All I want new is nn early trial te that I can prove mv Innocence." The arrest of Mrs. Brunen was de cided upon when Charles M. Powell, ihe admitted killing the shewwan, In elaborating his alleged confession, nude fcvernl months age, involved her. It is believed that Mrs. Elizabeth Jafschke, sister of the slain man, who Jas endeoveiod te gain possession of Haiel Bruncn, who Is the daughter of hlsfirn wife, will return East nnil fur ther her fight for the girl's guardian ship. He7'il has been living with her tramlruethcr nt 3020 Ridge avenue. She Is new working under an 'assumed name it a tjpl.st in Philadelphia.

Hence, an ordi nance Is new pending In CHy Coun cil, with Indications favoring Its pas sage, providing funds for the experi mental lntallatlen of such a system here. s.
