U. S. Opposition te Interna

U. S. COLLEGE MAY REOPEN
( By Atiecla(td Pre
UtrMnne. Ie. 20. On the eve of
wbit threatened te be n critical day In
tie life of the Lausanne conference
Ambnssndn'r Child Inst night had e long
eonrercatlen with Ismet rnshn obeiit
(ttt Straits problem, which Lord Curzon
yesterday 'declared must be disposed of
Immediately.
It has become known that the Amer
ican observers at the conference believe
that an International control comniN cemniN comniN
ilen associated with the League of Nn Nn
tfens, as suggested In the allied plan for
supervision of the Dardanelles, Is tin
necessary. In ether words, the Ameri
cans believe thnt freedom of the Straits
should be an actual freedom gunrnnteed
if a treaty between Turkey and the
ether world Power, and that It should
net be a freedom limited by an Inter
national commission. ,
Ismet Pasha received a message from
Mustapha Kemal today announcing that
the American College nt Smyrna, which
vis closed during the fighting there,
nay, reopen and thnt the Nationalist
Oerernmcnt has no objection te the
American schools carrying en their
work In any part of Turkey. Ismet
Pssha Immediately advised the Ameri
can correspondents nt the Near Kant
Conference of- this official action by the
Angera Government.
The American observe hnve se far
en the conference fleer limited them
selves te statement of the most general
t-rms en the Dardanelles question,
without suggesting as te hew the Straits
should be kept open te the commerce of
the world and te the fleets of the Pow
ers. Neither hnve there been intlmn intlmn
tlens of America's attitude toward an
international beard of control.
Allied leaders last night served notice
that the Turks today must either flatly
accept or reject the Allied project for
settlement of the Strnits question. Fair
ure of the Dnrdanells negotiations, it is
believed, will hardly affect the ether
problems which the conference was
called te solve.
Nevertheless the atmosphere Just
before the last session en the Straits
problem was one of high nervous ten
sion with the fear expressed In some
conference quarters that the American
opposition te the Straits commission
plan was stiffening the Turks net only
en the StrnltB question, but nlse en
vital questions like the customs tariff
and minorities.
The Americnns nre understood te held
that future difficulties ever the-Dardanelles
nre best avoided bv making
Turkey responsible for the liberty of the
Straits through solemn commitments In
tha treaty drawn up here. They be
lieve the existence of an Internntlennl
commission would only bow the seed
of future misunderstandings. Ambas
sador Child is said te have made this
clear te all the delegations In his In
formal meetings with them.
During the hours preceding this aft
ernoon's critical meeting the Impression
prevailed that If the Turks could ob
tain a satisfactory pact of guaranty
from the Powers concerning the In
solubility of the Straits nnd n sweep
ing agreement of non-aggression against
Constantinople nnd Turkey' generally
they would be less recalcitrant concern.
Ing the Straits regulations.

Jehn Miller, an eight-year-old wulf, who was found living In a tank
en the reef of a tenement In Essex street, by members of the Children's
Society, which Is endeavoring te find a suitable home for him. In the
picture nlse Is Nurse Iluttenridi, of the society
any one was arrested in Jersey City,"
ald Mr. Keown,.
"I mean when they were brought te
the station house," amended Mr. Kel-
Mr. Iteewn objected and was over
ruled. The police captain answered:
"Ne."
'Mrs. Brunen flushed heavily when
the police captain was being exam
ined. "Didn't Mrs. Brunen say her hus
band wns i brute?" Mr. Keown's ob
jection was sustained.
"Did Mrs. Bruen say te any one
here present that she hated her hus
band?" Objection overruled, nnd the witness
answered: "She did."
"Did she say he was a brute?" Ob
jection sustained.
"Didn't she say she lived a deg's
life?"
Justice Kalisch interjected: "She
testified te thnt herself."
"Didn't Mrs. Brunen say she loved
'Dec' Ward?" This was objected te
and the objection sustained.
"Did she say she was going te get
n divorce?" The objection te this ques
tion was sustained.
Question Ruled Out
William J. Lynch, sergeant of police
at Jersey City, wns the next rebuttal
witness. He testified that Mrs. Brunen
told .witnesses te hide 'Dec Ward's
apparel se It would net be found by
Brunen. Justice Knllsch ruled out the
sergeant's statement, and also objected
te all questions put by Prosecutor Kel
sey relating te Mrs. Brunen's friend
ship with Ward.
Albert Fletcher, of Riverside, next
called, was asked by Mr. Kelsey : "Did
you get the license number of the car
which passed you en the night of March
10 between Cambridge station and
Camden?"
Mr. Kelsey was referring te the car
alleged te have been driven by Mehr
in his flight from the Brunen home
after the crime. Mr. Keown Immedi
ately objected te the question en the
ground that it should have been asked
in direct examination and net in re
buttal. Justice Kalisch remarked:
"Mr. Kelsey, I am astonished that you
did net bring this out In the direct ex
amination." Mr. Keown then said: "I certainly
object. The wltnebs wns here during
direct examination; he knew the num
ber then, and lt would be a miscarriage
of justice for him te testify te that
point new."
Mr. Kelsey then moved te reopen the
case for the State, which was objected
te strenuously by Mr. Keown. At this
point Detective Parker leaned ever In
his seat and whispered a few words In
the ear of Assistant Prosecutor Pea
cock. Court Reprimands Detective
Justice Kalisch noticed the action and
reprimanded him, saying :
"Mr. Parker, pleabe don't de that.
Yeu have your counsel te direct the
case." The detective resumed his seat
without reply.
After Prosecutor Kelsey insisted en
reopening the case the Judge said :
"Yeu may proceed, but I will allow
the defendant te produce any tcstImen
he desires."
Mr. Keown then w,ld: "Your Hener
will net be offended If I ask an excep
tion." "Certainly, that is your priv
ilege," said Judge Kalisch.
Fletcher then testlfltd thnt he took
the number of the enr whlqh, passed
him beceauae it almost struck the fen
der of his machine.
"My intentien was te make a com
plaint about the speed at which the car
was going and because it was running
without lights. I took a pencil out of
my pocket and drew a pad out of an
other pocket and marked down the
number. This Is the number."
Mr. Keown again Jumped te his feet
and objected, saying that the number
may have been altered, as the paper ou
which lt was written had been In the
witness' hoube since the night of March
10 and he had net found it until last
night. The objection was overruled,
and Fletcher read the number as fol fel fol
eows: "New Jetsey 00504." It was brought
out later that this Is the number of
Mehr's license.
Admitted Changing Number
In cross-exatpJnatlen Mr. Keown
asked: 'Did you see a trolley car
about the time this automobile passed
you?"
"Ne," said the witness.
"Why you testified the ether day en
the stand that you saw a trolley car,
did you net?" naked Mr. Keown.
"Yea," said the witness.
"Did you tell my representative that
you bad made a memorandum of this
number?" "Yes."
Justice 'Kalisch, who had been
examining the note, then nrese. walked
ever te the witness nnd snld : "What
was the third number originally "
pointing te one of the figures, "WBS
lt an eight?"
"Yes," snld the witness.
"And you changed It te five?" asked
the justice,
"Yes, sir. My wife told me that it
wns wrong."
Many of the spectators broke out In
laughter nt this nnd one applauded.
The Judge rapped for order. The wit
ness then was excused.
Clifferd Cain, assistant ceuntv detec
ve, then took the stand and Identified
he number given by the witness us that
belonging te Mehr's car.
This ended the State's case, and Mr.
Keown snld the defense hud no rebut -tnl
te make. Fletcher wns recalled by
the Judge, who questioned him again.
, ,8 yi!T cnr 'unnlng when you
joek(sdown this number?" asked Justlce
!il,0,i!y'",.tll? wltnM8 answered.
Ihut's i all," Bald Justice Knllsch.
"our Hener, I'd like te say a few
words te you," volunteered the witness.
,, ?,' . "M Jutlc? Kallseb,. and
Fletcher left the stnnd.
Mr. Keown then moved again that
the case aplnst Mrs. Brunen be taken
from the Jury. Addressing the Couri

7T-,v.'!.,
he said there was nothing in the Stnte's
case te prove that Mrs. Brunen hnd
aided or abetted the murder of her
husband, andthcre was nothing te war
rant her case going t6 the jury.
Fer a moment it looked as though the
Court might be going te grant the mo
tion. , Justice alisch turned te Prosecutor
Kelsey nnd snld: "In what does the
prosecution rely te implicate Mrs. Bru
Inen in this crime?"
Mr. Kelsey snld "The Stnte relies
first en the fact that en November 11.
1021, Mrs. Brunen hnd Powell wire te
Mehr te come hemc-nt once "
Judge Asks, "What Evidence?"
"Well whnt evidence Is there of nny
combination of Mrs. Brunen with Pow
ell and Mehr te kill Jehn Brunen?
asked Justice Kalisch.
"On the morning of March 10, when
Jehn Brunen changed his mind te go
te WilUamstewn thnt day and New New
Yerk tomorrow, nnd decided that he
would be home, thnt night, Mrs. Bru
nen wns home. She did net go te the
moving pictures nnd stnyed home.
"Well, prier te Mnrch 10, is then
nny evidence te connect or prove n
combination between Mrs. Brunen,
Powell nnd Mehr?"
Mr, Kelsey then reiterated state
ments made by Powell In hW testimony
which the Commonwealth holds Involve
Mrs. Brunen. Turning te Mr. Keown,
Justice Knllsch snld:
"There may be enough evidence in
the case against Mrs. Brunen, Mr.
Keown, te have the facts laid before
the Jury. I emm net expressing an
opinion. I deny this motion, but I
think I can take care of this case when
I chrage the jury."
Mr. Keown then made the same mo
tion In behalf of Mehr, which also wns
denied. In both ceses he took an ex
ception. Mr. Peacock began by congratulating
Mr. Keown for his "courteous nnd
gentlemanly" conduct of the cese.
Questions Opponent's Belief
"I believe Mr. Keown Is convinced
of the innocence of the defendants,"
he said, "and in his henrt acquits them
of the crime. But he has been de
ceived, as have been some ethers. At
the outset, Mr. Keown said, 'Yeu hnve
a set of facts thnt were presented by
the State, nnd lf you believe these
facts, you can de nothing else but
bring In a verdict of murder.' He
snld he would Bhew Powell did net
commit the murder. Has he shown it?
He said he would prove that Powell
wns insane. Has he done It? Did
Mehr, en the stund, sny anything about
the condition of Powell, or thnt he
heard him barking or raving in the
jail? Ne. Keown did net ask him
that question.
"I will cover certain points in whfch
the defense has fulled, and Mr. Kelsey
will take up ethers. Then what else
con ypu say but thnt both the defen
dnnts have been proved guilty of mur
der In the first degree?
"Concerning the condition of Powell
in the jail, Mr, Keown could have called
Wnrdcn Hemer, Mr. Jacobs nnd ethei
office th. These men snt in this court
room day after day, but he did net
call them. Ne. But he did cnll n
bunch of murderers, thieves, creeks,
robbers, te corroborate this fuked and
frnmed defense, te deceive these men.
Twe of his witnesses have been con
victed of murder and another has spent
twenty-two ycurs In jail. Are you
going te tnke thnt kind of testimony?
"After Powell, en the witness stand,
has given se clearly every Incident that
happened, nnd was unshaken by a
merciless cress-examination, it Is nn
insult te your intelligence te bring
creeks and murderers te prove that
Powell was insane.
"They were going te prove that this
boy was crazy and could net have com
mitted the murder. But they did net
attempt te prove who did commit It."
Charges Mehr With Plot
Mr. Peacock then referred te the
years of friendship between Powell nnd
Mehr. He spoke of Powell as a man

Mr. I'eaccck then entered Inte the
