that New Brunswick did not feel it

The powder in five cases, had been

was to have been burned. Too much
of the powder was set off at one
time however, and instead of burn
ing it exploded. 1t was not until in

the arsenal that the explosion had

MILLION LOST
IN BIG ROBBERY
Twenty-Five Government En-
pIoyes at Brooklyn Navy
Yard Arrested Today

NEW YORK, Dec. 20. - Twenty
two civilian employees at the Brook
lyn navy base were arrested today
on indictments returned several
months ago by Federal grand jury,
charging that government property
to the value of more than $1,000, 600
had been stolen since the war.
The arrests were made by agents
of the Department of Justice, who
took the prisoners to the Brooklyn
Federal building in army motor
trucks.
The grand jurors indicted twenty
three after its investigation of the
alleged wholesale thefts which the
authorities said included clothing, oil
and various other materials used at
the navy base. The twenty-third
man under indictment was not found
at the naval base today.
The investigation has been under
way for months.
Navy intelligence undertook to
find out the cause for the discrep-
ancies between the inventories and
the stock supposed to be on hand.
The thieves were too cunning for the
naval detective force, the members
of which were apparently well
known to those who were doing the
stealing.
william J. Burns. chief of the
bureau of investigation Of the de-
partment OF justice, was asked for
help and ordered Edward j. Bren-
nan, head Cf the bureaus New York
office, to assign operators.
Brennan consulted police COM
missioner Enright and borrowed the
services of Detective Francis Train
or.
Under the direction of Federal
agents Robert Walsh and Ralph
Navarro and Lieutenant Trainor,
men were put into the warehouses
as checkers, laborers, watchmen
and bookkeepers. These detectives
found themselves watched narrowly
until they took advantage OF oppor-
tunities obviously put in their way
of stealing small articles such as
wrist watches and marine glasses.
Not until they actually concealed
these articles and pretended to steal
them were they able to get any evil
dence against the men now in Gus
tody.
They then learned that govern
ment property was being stolen by
the truckload, including great boxes
of clothing, paint by the barrel.
crates of glass and commercial alco-
hol by the gallon Instances were
found in which waste and saivaged
materials bought by contractors was
substituted by new goods or by other
merchandise than that mentioned in
the contract. In other cases twice
the quantity of actual salvaged stuff
contracted for was delivered.

MOUNT HOLLY, Dec. 20.-The

Walter Keown, chief counsel for
defense, renewed his petition to have
the indictment against Mrs. Brunen
set aside.
Just what point does the prosecu-
ton depend upon to connect Mrs.
Brunen with the case?" asked JUS
tice kalisch.
Mrs. Brunen," said Prosecutor
KELSEY, 'ordered Powell to send a
telegram to Mohr in Virginia, telling
him to come home at once. The
morning of March 10 she got up first
and Brunen got up at 9:30 and be
said that he would go to New York.

inquired Justice Kalisch.

sey.
"I want the jury to believe that !

the justice, "but I must deny the
motion"
Then Keown asked for a similar
dismissal of the indictment against
Mohr.
II must deny that motion" stated
the court, because I do feel there
are facts for the jury to consider.
Brunen was shot and killed on
March 10 while sitting at window
of his home at Riverside. The prin-
