THIRD PERSONS ARREST
NEAR IN BRUNEN CASE
NeW Witnesses Who Heard
Shot Back PoUelPs Story.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW roRK HzRAJp.
MOUNT HOLLY. ". j.. May 4. - The
chain of evidence surrounding a mys-
terious third person" In the murder OF
John Brunen, wealthy Riverside, N. j.,
circus man on March 10, had several i'm
portant links added to-day through de-
velopments unearthed by Ellis Parker,
Burlington county detective. The arrest
of the third person" is expected soon.
A detailed statement written by Mrs.
Doris Brunen. wife of the slain man.
describing her movements on the night
of the murder has been shot to pieces. .
Parker said.
Point by point the confession OF
Charles NJ Powell. who maintains he
fired the fatal shots through the window
of Brunen's home, IS being verified.
The defense of Harry Mohr, brother
ii-law of Brunen. and the story OF Mrs.
Brunen received severe blow to-day
when three men from Beverly, ". j.,
and the small son Of one of them told
Parker that on the night of the murder
they were motoring to Camden from
Beverly and stopped at Riverside. They
heard a shot and saw an automobile.
The incidents tally exactly with the con-
fession Of Powell. who stated that Mohr
drove him to and from the scene of the
murder.

ENRICHT DEPRECATES
CRIME WAVE AUTHORS
Tells Y. M. G. A. Audience
About Guarding a Great City.

Police Commissioner Enright attacked
the newspapers and other interests
for ''inventing crime waves" bewailed
the leniency of the courts and the
pamperng of prisoners, and repeated
his plea for more police to patrol the
streets of New York in an address
last night at the West Side Y. NJ. c. A..
31s West Fifty-seventh street.
When the Commissioners was intro
duced by DR.. Louis Welzmiller the
chairman. he cautioned his audience
that he would keep them but short
time When he had warmed to his
subject. the Guarding of Great City"
however. he took plenty of time TO
review most of the police activities Of
the last five years.
Nowadays. in the jais.'' he said,
they have tennis courts and ball teams.
swimming pools and gymnasiums. ping
pong and bowling alleys-everything Is
there but the liberty, OF the Great
White Way in winter and Conuy Island
in summer"
The Commissioner also touched upon
the traffic problem, and suggested ways
end means OF solving it-chiefly by the
placing of certain elevated lines beneath
the surface.

Fight for 100000 That Ac-

Four legatees under the will OF
Augustus ID. Juilliard. New York mer-
chant and patron of the arts. have
taken an appeal from the Interpretation

Smith, Surrogate of Orange county.
which granted to the next of kim
some 100000 that accumulated between
the death OF Mr.. Juilliard and the es-
tablishment of the Juilliard Musical
Foundation The application for the
Interpretation was made In a friendly
proceeding. The four legatees, Fred
erick A. Juilliard, a nephew: the
Juilliard Musical Foundation. the Ameri-

finding was that the intended beauests

LADY ASTOR In HER
OLD VIRGINIA HOME
ThrOngs Meet Train at Every
Station on the Way to
Danvillc.

Special Dispatch to THE Nrw YoRK HERALD.
DANvILLE, Va. May 4.--Lady Astor
returned 10 her old home tonight. and
many thousands turned out to give her
a rousing welcome as she stepped from
the train here At her hotel she found
the lobby crowded with delegates to
travelling mems convention, who called
on her for a speech. She came back
with Travelling men are just like poll
ticians. They are always trying 10
make people do something they don
want to do" She added: II am getting
weaker and weaker on speeches-weak
like your whisky, you understand
She approached a civil war veteran in
the lobby and shook hands with him. and
the man said II knew your father
WE'LL" and Lady Astor replied: stop,
or you'll be saying you knew me when
you were boy
The trip from Richmond to Danvil-e
was one continuous ovation. AT every
station crowds gathered and at most OF
the way places Lady Astor stepped to
the rear, platform OF the train and said
few words. Flowers were given to
Lady Astor until there was not room
in her stateroom to hold them.
At Glover. Va, an old lady came for
ward and handed Lady Astor bouquet
OF beautiful roses and said:
"Twenty-siX years ago you visited the
Sheiterng Arms Hospital in Richmond
and gave me a bouquet of flowers just
like these and it will be one of the
greatest pleasures of my old age to be
able to repay that debt of twenty-siX
years standing"
Tears came to Lsdy Astor's eyes as
she thanked the old lady and took the
flowers.
Tears again came to Lady Astor' s
eyes when the village of Southerln was
passed, the train slowing down but not
stopping. and 1t was seen demopstra-
ton had been prepared. She SAID
'Tsn't it shame the train did not stop.
Viscoult Astor announced last night
that he and Lady Astor would sail May
% from Boston for England. Before
they leave they will visit Lynchburg,
Va. Albermarle County, Lady Astor' s
childhood home. From Albermarle they
will go TO Chicago and from there to
Ottawa and Ontario. They will stop off
in New York on their way TO Boston.

Inmate Of Home for Feeble
Minded Was Punished
for Writing Of Love.
SKULL AGAIN IDENTIFIED
Taken to New City for County
Action i'm Prosecution of
Man Sought in Case.

The discovery Of cave on the side
of Cheesecock Mountain. near Haver-
straw. N. ", about 100 feet from where
the skeleton of Lillian White was
found on April 3, has provided clew
which, It is believed, will lead to the
arrest Of her slayer and the solution
of one of the most brutal murders
ever committed in Rockland county.
The identification of the slain girl
as an escaped inmate of the Letch-
worth Valley Home for Feeble Minded
Girls followed the reconstruction OF
her skull by former Police Capt. Grant
williams.
The cave, built of stone stolen from
a house being built near by, was found
by deputy sheriff three days after
the discovery of the skeleton. The in
terror was furnished with rugs and
blankets. which. the police believe
were taken from one Of the severa,
unoccupied summer homes in the vi
cinity.
The police think the tenant of the
cave was the man who enticed Lillian
to the mountain top and killed her with
sledge hammer. crushing her skull
in three places. They believe this man
was the girls sweetheart. Attendants
a! the Letchworth Valley home admitted
that Lillian had been punished for writ
ing love letters and that she disappeared
on the following day, September 16,
1921 Detectives have concluded that
the girl went straight to the scave on
the mountein and remained with man
until he tired of her.
The slope from the cave up to the spot
where the skeleton was found Is almost
a precipice, and it would hardly be pos
sible to carry a dead body to the top.
This fact has convinced the authorities
that the murderer coaxed his victim to
the summit before he killed her.
|, The name of the suspect was with
held, but it was learned that his arrest
is expected momentarily. Besides Sher-
iff George Brown of Rockland county
Felix Di MARITIME. formerly chief of the
Italian squad of the New York Police
Department. and William A. Jones. for
mer police captain, are at work on the
case with Mrs. Mary f. Hamilton,
policewoman, attached to represent the
department headquarters.
The Identification of the head was
confirmed yesterday by Pasquale Copper
tino of 14OS Bergen street. Brooklyn.
Lilian's brother-in-law. Capt. Williams
took the skull to New City last night
and presented his evidence of identifi-
cation to the Rockland county authori-
ties
