Wife or Victim Is Said to Have

(By Chicago Tribune Le&sed Wire.)
MOUNT HOLLY, N. J., Dec. 13.
The cold-blooded story of how
Harry C. Mohr hired him to kill
John T. Brunen. instructed him how
to commit the crime, drove him to
the Brunen home at Riverside ot
the night of March 10 and later paid
for the deed, was related m detail
by Charles II. Powell, star witnes.--for
the state against Mohr and Mrs.
Doris Brunen, wife of the show
man, charged with first - degree
murder.
While Mrs. Brunen paled, and
Mohr moved nervously about in his
chair, while the breathless spec
tators leaned forward in their seats,
spellbound by the amazing story.
Powell made a clean breast of the
crime from its conception to the
night he fired the shot through a
window point-blank at the man
whose wife, he said, knew of the
plot.
"When we reached Riverside," the
witness declared, "Mohr told me that
Brunen was going to New York the
next morning and would not be
liaek for three daya He said the
job had to be done that night.
'Don't miss, Charlie,' he told me,
'even if you have to use the two
barrels. If you miss John will have
Us all arrested, even you" '
"I went to the Brunen home. The
blinds, Mohr told me, would be
closed' to hide the light from the
yard. I went to Brunen's garage
and got the gun (Mohr had bought
two shotguns and placed them in the
garage, he testified). The train
passeu. There was a dog in the
yard. Mrs. Brunen came to a syie
door and called the dog. She took
the dog into the houye.
"Then I heard the second train
coming. I had the gun and ran to
the window. I could just see his
Jiead. 1 pulled the trigger of the
shotgun as the train passed. Then
1 turned and ran away. I ran down
back of the railroad station, where
1 met Harry in his automobile."
Poweil was permitted to testify
over the objection of the defense
that he was mentally unfit to appear.

Some Books of Permanent Value Choose From the Best New Fiction
BOOKS AND CHARACTERS
by Lytton Strachey
This new book of biography and literary criticism con
tains 15 chapters and ranges from Eighteenth Century
France to the Victorian Age. Every page is a real light.
THE OUTLINE OF SCIENCE
by J, Arthur Thompson

THE MOST IMPORTANT BIOGRAPHY
OF THE YEAR
THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF WALTER H.
PAGE, by Burton J. Kendricks
Lawrence Abbott, in a recent-review of this book in the
Outlook Magazine says: "Not only delightful reading be
cause of their literary and personal charm and because of
the authority with which they report the inner workings
of American diplomacy, but they are extraordinarily im
pressive as a revelation of genius in statesmanship which
Page himself possesses.''
"Walter H. Page was American Ambassador from the
United States to Great Britain from 1913 to 1918 and "His
Life and Letters" constitute an edition of permanent value
to the great books of the time.
"UPSTREAM99
An American Chronicle, by Ludwig Lewisohn
is quite generally conceded to be, alon1 with "The Ameri
canization of Edward Bach," the mtst important auto
biography since "The Education of Henry Adams." In
addition to being an important contribution to American
literature, it has color, finish and eloquence.
BABBITT, by Sinclair Lewis
is said by a famous critic to be "twice as good as 'Main
Street.' " It is also the best selling of new novels.
CARNAC'S FOLLY, by Sir Gilbert Parker
A robust, tale which reveals all the power and beauty of
"The Seats of the Mighty." It is a story you will long
remember.
THE BRIGHT SHAWL
by Joseph Hergesheimer
A gorgeously romantic story laid in Cuba and done in
the best style of the author of "Java Head." t
THE VEHEMENT FLAME
by Margaret Deland
One famous critic -says of this. Miss Deland's latest book:
" 'The Awakening of Helena Richie' and 'The Iron Woman'
made Miss Deland famous some years ago. 'The Vehement
Flame' is another of the same kind but a bigger and better
novel than either of the O'.hers."
THIS FREEDOM, by A. M. S. Hutchinson
author of "If Winter Comes," is the strongest story of the
two and deserves, says the Boston Herald, to be rated as
the best novel of the year.
BROKEN BARRIERS, by Meredith Nicholson
The story of Grace Durland and how she faces life when
family reverses throw her into the ranks of department
store workers. A strong and vitally interesting story.
FAJR HARBOR, by Joseph C. Lincoln
is the latest chuckle provoking story of one of America's
most consistently humorous writers. The quaint characters
are lovabie clear through and Cap'n Kendrick.and the group
of cantankerous women folk in his care are as richly
humorous mortals as have ever been caught between the
covers of a novel.
FOUR SQUARE, by Grace S. Richmond
is a captivating, clean and lovely romance of Mary Fletcher
and Mark Fenn. Good to read alone or read aloud.
CAPTAIN BLOOD, by Rafael Sabatini
A glorious romance of love and adventure on the Spanish
Main by the author of "Scar Mouche."
CAPPY RICKS RETIRES, by Peter B. Kyne
The countless thousands who loved Cappy Ricks, the
grand old man of American fiction, will revel in this new
book in which Cappy, though retired, is more active than
ever. "
We have a few autographed copies available.
Laughter unlimited is perhaps the best comment one can make on that clever book of humor,
"MY NORTHERN EXPOSURE"
by Walter E. Traprock, Author of "The Cruise of the Kawa"
It is an account of the adventures of the redoubtable Traprock and party, who set out to discover the real North
Pole but undertake their voyage in a most unusual manner.
The incidents,' accidents,, and final discoveries in this merry burlesque afford immense enjoyment.
