SYNTHETIC LION HUNT
INEAR FOR ST. LOUISAN
Manufacturer Heads FOR River
Island With Two Beasts
Bought From Circus.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SIKESTON, Mo, January i8.-Den-
yer NJ Wright was back In the Missis-
sippi River "veldt" yesterday on his
second lion hunting expedition.
While the st. Louis novelty manufac-
ttrer was keeping secret the place he
intended to stage his hunt, 1t was be-
lieyed an island in the Mississippi River
about 20 miles from here would be the
scene of the "safari" This would be
a few miles nearer Africa than the
island Wright chose for his first fling
at lion hunting.
No sign of official molestation had
appeared today to threaten the lion
stalker's plans. Sheriff j. o. King Of
Mississippi County said Wright would
be given carte blanche to bang away
at his lions in the sheriff's bailiwack.
The st Louisan's attempt to stage
his first hunt last October ended tamely
when a deputy sheriff of Scott County,
north of Mississippi County. killed the
two young circus lionesses Wright had
released on an island before the hunter
could get shot at them. Officials Of
humane societies also protested against
the first hunt.
Wright passed through here last night
with the two loud-roaring 400-pound
lions he bought from a circus farm
for bigger and better" imitation Of
the jungle sport.

SHOOTING MYSTERY
THEORIES CLASH
Doctor Declares Bradway
Brown MurderedHPoIice
See Suicide.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PALMYRA, ~ j., January 18.-
Medical authorities differed radically
today with police seeking to unravel
the tangle of conflicting clues sur
rounding the fatal shooting of Bradway
Brown, young and wealthy executive
Of a Philadelphia printing company.
After three-hour autopsy. DIR.
Daniel F. Remer, Burlington County
physician, said he was convinced the
case was plainly one of murder.
The wounds are of what is known
as the viscous, type" he said. .Medi-
cal experience shows one viscous wound
would Immediately end all power of
activity on the part of the injured per-
son.
If 1t is supposed that Brown shot
himself, 1t must be understood that he
would have had to shift the weapon
from one hand to the other after the
first bullet went into his body. The
shock of this wound would have pre-
cluded such a possibility"
Murder Theory Supported.
Earlier in the investigation, DR..
Dean Lefavor of Palmyra, who first
examined Brown, had been equally en-
phatic in his assertion the young social
reglSterite had been slain.
Arrayed against the physicians. how
ever, were county investigators headed
by Ellis Parker. noted chief of Bur-
lington County detectives. Unwilling
TO list the case positively as a suicide,
they nevertheless expressed the opinion
II would have been possible for Brown
to have inflicted both wounds found
in his body and also that ha could
nave walked into the house after fir
ing the shots.
Brown, treasurer of the printing COM
pany of which his father the late
Charles T. Brown, had been president
Tor years, was found dead in the liv-
ing room OF his home in Cinnaminson
Township Monday night. The body,
sprawled on a toy-littered floor, was
clad in street clothes and an overcoat
and bore two bullet wounds-one of
which, the autopsy disclosed, pierced
the left lung and the other the liver
Two Men Sought.
While the investigators grappled with
their contradictory evidence, search for
two men whom Mrs. Harold West, a
neighber, said she believed she saw
running from the Brown home shortly
afser two shots were fired was con-
tinued.
Brown was an important witness in
the Wilson-Roberts murder and suicide
in 1929 at Moorestown. He testified
at the inquest in the deaths of Miss
Ruth Wilson and Horace Roberts, jr.,
both friends of his. A coroner's jury
decided Miss Wilson was shot by Rob-
erts, who then ended his own life.

1t all goes back to the fact that the
earth is round as an orange. Even at
this day, We find 1t hard to realize the
roundness of the earth. The fact, how

Such a journey would not be pleasant

than one; so let us turn our thoughts

That Word "Bombast. :"

Nobody likes to be called bombastic
or have what he says characterized as
50 much bOmbast. However, one likes
it still less after learning the origin and
true significance of the word.
"Bombast' comes to US through the
old French "bombace, from the Greek
derived Latin "bombax," meaning cot
ton wedding" We have an old English
line:
"A candle with wick of bombast. "
Though Shakespeare's line, when
Prince Hal calls Falstaff my sweet
creature of bombast" Is doubtless the
best known example of it, the posi-
bility for humor in a metaphorical use
of "bombast" was not lost on other
EliZabethans. Under date Of 1889
Nashe used it as follows:
The swelling bombast of Dragging
