 Had Been Missing Since
 First of April
TWO RELATW 5 ARRESTED

Pana, H., April 21.-The mutilated body of Miss Jane Brunot, wealthy woman of Danna, Ind, was found buried in an abandoned well on the farm of her sister-in- law near here today Mrs. Brunot, her son, Henry Brunot, and Frederick Sibley are under arrest in this city charged with mur- der
 The chief of police says the three persons under arrest decoyed Miss Brunot to the garret of the farm house, shot her through the head and buried the body in an aban- doned wel.
 Miss Brunot came to this city on visit about April 1. It is said she brought with her valise containing a draft for $500 and other valuables.
 Neither Miss Brunot nor the valise were ever seen after April l. A few days later Henry Brunot and Sibley disappeared. The police learned that the two went to Indian apolis, where they, 1t is said, cashed a draft for $500 and spent the proceeds. On the strength of this clue and 0 letter from In dianapolis friends inauiring for Miss Brunot the three persons were arrested this morn ing.
 Although the police found Miss Brunot's decomposed body in the old well, her cloth ing was found in the garret of the farm house.
 The police claim Mrs. Anna Brunot and her son are guilty of poisoning Charles Brunot, husband of Anna Brunot, who fell dead at the dinner table year ago. Bru- not carried $2000 life insurance The police also allege that Henry Brunot and Fred erck Sibley killed Widow Mary Mcintyre whose mutilated body was found under the bed at her little home at the Fratham mining district in February, their object being robbery.
 Considerable talk of lynching is heard, but the strong guard of militia on duty will prevent such action.

CONFEDERATE REUNION
A Large Crowd Going From Birming- ham to Charleston to the Vet
 erans' Celebration.

Quite crowd will go from Birmingham to the approaching Confederate Veterans
 reunion to be held at Charleston. The in- dieations are that probably one hundred or more citizens of Birmingham and surround ing country will go together. The railroads are offering especially low rates and the fa- vorite route is via Atlanta and Augusta. Tho Georgia and Carolina railroad. which runs from Atlanta to Charleston, is offer ingl special accommodations in connection with the Southern from Birmingham to At lanta, and it is probable that this route, which is the quickest and the best, will catch the crowd. -

SACRAMENTANS COMPLAIN
OF POOR TRAIN SERVICE
Two O'Clock Train Discontinued and
Travellers Forced to Patronize
the West-Bound Filler.

SACRAMENTO. Nov. 22-Much com
plant is expressed here relative to the
Southern Pacific train service. Some
weeks ago. without any apparent good
reason. the o'clock local afternoon train
for San Francisco was withdrawn, al
though II had always been literally pa
tronized by business men and the public
generally. who desired to arrive at the
metropolis TO attend the theaters or hll
business engagements. AS q concession
TO the public, however. and TO satisfy the
complaints. the Southern Pacific made the
announcement that Sacramentans who
wanted to reach San Francisco in a sea-
sonable hour might take the new west
bound flyer. which is supposed TO come in
at 2:10 o'clock and leave five minutes
later. but the train is often late I'm arriv-
ing here and the wait when IL does come
is scarcely long enough TO enable man
to catch his breath. Besides he must pay
the Pullman fee for a seat, and IL there
are no spare seats he cannot 20 at all
The westbound overland, which is sup
posed to leave three hours later, is de-
layed half the time. often being three or
four hours late. Besides this, the local
for Stockton Is frequently two and three
hours behind scheduled time in leaving
Sacramento and the result is naturally a
great inconvenience TO those who have
business or other engagements at Stock
ton and figure on keeping them by using
the Southern Pacific time table as the
basis for their calculation.

COCHRANE MAKES
VIGOROUS DENIAL
Attorney Furious Over
Bribery Charges.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 22.-Attorney
James w. Cochrane declares that he did
not offer bribe OF $500 to DR.. Winu 10
change the testimony he was expected to
ofrer In the Griffin case. Dr. Winn as
serts that he solicited no bribe and did
not tell anybody at all that Cochrane had
endeavored TO corrupt him. Cochrane is
emphatic IN his statement that Winn did
come into the offices Of Jones & O'Don-
nell in the Parrott building a week ago
last Monday and did ask for 500 TO give
testimony favorable 10 the defense. Wlnn
says he was not there.
Attorney J. w. Keyes, Patrick Mulva-
ney and another person say that Winn
accused Cochrane OF attempted bribery in
saloon in San Francisco Winn admits
he was in the saloon and says he was
sober; the others say he was partially
intoxicated. Attorney Cochrane made a
positive declaration that he would stand
up IN court to-day and there air his
grievances. He did not and his friends
now assert that he was entirely 100 mod

This mass Of statements, contradictory
and otherwise. represents the status OF

his lawyer are falling over one another

itself by holding an investigation.

The Sources of the Plot.
The story OF the induction Is very an
Client. at least as old as the tale OF s'-Ths
Sleeper Awakened" in the s.Arabian
Nights" The author Of the old play prob
ably took II from an anecdote I'm coll
lection OF short comic stories "sett forth
by Master Richard Edwards master of
her MaJesties revels In 1870" Other old
versions, besides that in the Arabian
Nights, are a story OF the Emnoror
Charles V. recorded by Howard Staun-
ton in his edition OF Shakespeare. and a
similar story Of Philip the Good OF BUR-
gundy. narrated by Burton In his "Anat-
omy OF Melancholy" 1921 Burton also
quotes an anecdOte OF a Tartar prince
taken from Marco Polo. which is OF the
same tenor.
The story Of Blanca and her lovers is
founded upon GascOlgne's "Supposes.' N
translation Of AriostO's Il SuppOsftf .
which was first acted in 1866. The italian
play was first published in 1924 and re-
printed eight times before 1898. The Latin
lesson was perhaps suggested by q sirnl-
lar scene In the play OF Three Lords and
Ladies OF London" 1890.
The Katherine and Petruchio part OF the
plot has not been traced beyond the OLD
play OF 1884. but somewhat similar stories
OF wife-taming had appeared earlier I'm
English. Spanish and Italian. A humor-
Gus tale I'm verse. entitled a Merry Ieste

was printed In London without date. but
probably as early as 1860. IL became very
popular. Laneham ia his famous Il ef-
ter from Kenilworth" G570 refers to h
as one OF the stories which Captain Cox
had "at his fingers ends"
