FMRS. 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.
"Like myself and my brother, Harry
Mehr," she said, "my girl knows abso
lutely nothing about the meeting of my
husband. 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.
Mrs. Brunen Writes Daughter
This morning a letter wrltteu by Mrs.
Bruncn te her daughter was turned
ever by the jailer te Detective Parker
before It was sealed and mailed. The
pother cautioned her child te care for
her aged grandmother and te assure her
that eprythlng would come out all
rlwt. She made no complaint nbeut
being detained en the charge of mur
der, except that she had te buv new
bed linen and also had te have her
meals brought In. She asked Hazel
te arrange te have a change of clothing
tent te the jail.

RESEARCH BUREAU
0. KS TRAFFIC PLAN
Approves Synchronized Sema
phore Tower System for
Central Section
DRIVERS MUST CO-OPERATE
Traffic control by semaphore towers
in the central part of the city Is com
mented en favorably In this weeVs
Issue of "Citizen's Business." published
by the Bureau of Municipal Research.
The publication points out that "In
the district bounded by Eighth, Six
teenth, Locust and 'Arch streets there
are some seventy points of Intersection
throwing out waves of interference In
all directions. Verily, te the birds of
the air, the street traffic In such a district
must present n kaleidoscopic picture of
greatly conflicting currents of travel."
Thjs city, the publication says, had
the reputation of having done pioneer
work In handling street traffic, having
introduced the semaphore system and
the "one way street." But Philadel
phia has net kept pace with Xcw Yerk,
which Introduced the signal tower sys
tem In 1010.
"Based en this accomplishment,"
says the bureau, "the co-erdinated sem
aphore system has commended Itself te
these who have been studying Philadel
phia's traffic problem. 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.
Problem Different Here
"It Is generally recognized that the
Fifth avenue system cannot be Imi
tated in all details In Bread stret.
mainly because the cat and west traf
fic in Philadelphia Is relatively much
greater than that In Xew Yerk. Initial
modifications, however, already have
been worked out by the local traffic au
thorities te adapt the system te local
conditions, and the modified plan awaits
only the sanction of Council.
"If nnd when the new signal towers
are erected In Philadelphia, and the
synchronized signals begin te flash up
and down Bresd street, the plans of the
Bureau of Police can liave a fair trial
and reach their most effective develop
ment only with the co-operation of
these for whose greater safety and con
venience the system Is Intended these
who make up the vehicular and pedes
trian traffic en congested streets.

that they arc enabled te reach their des
