NEW LEADS POINT
TO BRUNEN SLAYER
Are Most Important Yet I'm
covered. Asserts the Prose
cutOr.

MOUNT HOLLY, March 1S.--One OF the
strange phases to-day in the Brunen
murder case was the apparently spon-
taneous gathering of men and women
in front of the home OF the slain show
man in Riverside. eleven miles from
here They gathered as IL by some psy-
Geological impetus and stood before the
Brunen was murdered with n shotgun
as he sat at window a week ago last
night. tt
II thought there was going to be an
arrest to-day" was the frequently re-
peated remark of curiosity seekers.
Inquiry among them revealed an ex-
pectation that something sensational
was to happen. 1t did not happen and
all the inquisitive ones got for their
pains was a view of Mrs. Doris Brunen
and Hazel, the 17-year-old daughter OF
the murdered circus man by former
wife. Mrs Brunen and the girl peered
through the lace curtains at times. De-
tective Ellis Parker and Prosecutor
Jonathan Kelsey denied saying anything
to indicate an arrest to-day in the
Brunen home..
That the authorities are approaching
a solution of the mystery was Indicated
this afternoon by Prosecutor Kelsey,
who said:
.,There are four points still to be in
yestigated any one of which may be
developed to a cew to the actual per-
petrators of the murder. Two OF these
points have been uncovered within the
last twenty-four hours. Both of them
look on the surface to be the mos,
important yet uncovered. and they point
to the murderers of John Brunen. Fur
ther than that cannot CO. but at every
turn the one single important thing In
the whole conspiracy points in the one
direction
Authoritative information has been OBJ
tanned to indicate the man who hred the
shotgun did not escape in an automobile
There was a car there only a few min
,ttes before the murder, and the author
tiles know who were the occupants and
why they were there.
Conviction on the part of Prosecutor
Kelsey that the murder was the fulfill
ment OF a conspiracy may be borne out
by the fact that on Thursday night
there was a knock at the rear. door of
the Riverside house. Brunen was in the
cellar and did not hear the knock, but
neighbors saw the man rap three times
and hurry away. 1t is believed he is the
man who returned the next night and
fired through the window.
The blacksmith, Joseph Ooc) Ward
of Jersey City, who was lot man with
the Brunen circus and whose name had
been linked with Mrs. Brunan prior to
the murder, may be called for a supple
mentary talk. He cleared himself of
direct connection with the murder yes
terday. but there are several points the
authorities believe he can enlighten
them upon.
Prosecutor Kelsey left tonight on n
mission in connection with the murder.
