J. Circus Proprietor. By the Associated Press. RIVERSIDE, N. J., March 18.—Au- thorities investigating the death of John T. Brunen, circus proprietor, shot and killed in his home a week 2go vesterday, today apparently weré as far from a solution of the slaying as when they began their in- vestigation. One man remains to be questioned, County Detective Ellis Parker said today. He is Paul Purrell, a conces- sionaire, who was with Brunen's shows last season. Purrell has been! tound at Paterson, N. J. Parken stated, ‘and has been requested to 50 to Mount Holly for questionng by Prosecutor Kelsey. According to Parker, Purrell was ordered from the vircus ‘lot in midseason following a wuarrel with Brunen. ‘Two men, George L. Werner, circus chef, and Joseph R. (“Doc”) Ward, allyhoo man, vesterday were ex- onerated by authorities from any connection in the case. Last night detective Parker spent some ~time | uuestioning a man in the Jail at Nor- ristown, Fa., who had sald he knew Brunen intimately, but the detective said he was ucable to learn anything that had not been divulged.

PITTSBURGH, March 18—In a statement issued from his room at Mercy Hospital here late last night *United States Senator W. E. Crow de- ciared that within the next fey days he would consult with -his doc- tors and that their decision would defermine his future course United States senator and thairman of rnel state republican committee. The senator characterized as “slan- derous, uncalled for and an infamous| lie” reports concerning his probable resignation and the probable appoint- nent of John A.

Cannot Go Outside State. The decision is interpreted to'mean that persons married in New York state or maintaining their matri- monial residence here cannot go out- side the state and set up a residence that will be recognized as legal. *“This decislon sounds the death- knell for fake divorces,” sald Edmund L. Mooney, counsel for Mrs. Gwathmey, ~'when apprised of _the court's findings. “It also goes a long way toward solving a national situa- tion which has given to much agita- tion for a national divorce law. Any one may go Into the supreme court of New York now, whenever an action is started against him or her in another state, and get an injunction.” Mr. Mooney contended, in defending the sult against his client, that Gwathmey was a resident of New York, but fraudulently stated he was & resident of Florida. % Action Went by Default. In previous divorce actions filed in other states against New Yorkers, with one exception, the person sued had permitted the action to go by de- fault. 1f it were desired later to re- open_the case, the decree had been attacked on the ground that the court granting it had no jurisdiction, Mrs. Gwathmey, however, attacked her husband’s action on the ground that she was allowed only $3,200 a year from property given her by her husband, and that she could not af- ford to go to Florida and resist the suit. She also claimed that her husband wanted her to g0 to Reno and di- vorce him. He promised. she said in her petition, not to contest the ac- tion, ard to reward her handsomely, but she refused to consider it, she averred. PREMIER OF MANITOBA AND CABINET RESIGN T. C. Norris Outlines Circumstances Leading to Government Defeat. WINNIPEG, Man., March 17.—Pre- mier T. C. Norris tendered the resig- nation of his cabinet to the lieutenant governor this afternoon. After Mr. Norris had conferred with Sir James Atkins it was announced his resigna- tion was umder conslderation. It is undetstood that Sir James will call upon the leaders of the other legis- lative groups for their opinions be- fore déciding definitely on the course: of action to be taken. Premier Norris outlined the circum- stances leading to the defeat of the government on the Talbot resolution censuring the administration for fail- ing to abolish the public utilities commission, and formally announced the resignation of the ministry.

The shooting occurred when Stout stopped where Gwynn and several others were working on a fence at : Toperty an government regulation style of metal mail box. There had been words be- tween the two men previously, it is understood. Bullet Enters Heart. ! When the argument followed, Stout pulled out his revolver and shot at Gwynn. The single load entered the heart and the man was dead inside of three minutes, according to wit- nesses. Stout went to his home, which ad- joins the property of the murdered man, after the shooting. Neighbors procured Winchester rifles and closely guarded his house so that he might not escape before the county officers from Staunton, twenty-miles distant, could arrive. Deputy Sherift Earl Taylor and his assistant, George Layman, proceeded to the Stout home and found the man. Stout is said to have claimed that he was justified in the shooting and made no denial. He was placed in an automobile, rushed into Staunton and lodged in jail, where he now occupies “solitary” Quarters on the top floor, closely guarded. The body was carried at the direc- tion of County Coroner J. B. Catlett to his home, where the inquest was held. ] Claims He Had Cause. Stout was asked by Commonwealth Attorney Kerr why he did the shoot- ing, and he replied that he had a cause. There were three witnesses to the murder. 'They were Jesse Gwynn, a brother, Jim Karicofe and Miss Lottie Props. It is sald that there had been bad blood between the two men for several weeks. Two weeks ago they quarreled: over a dog fight, and Gwynn_struck Stout, who is sald to have then declared he would “get” im. huwynn was industrious and well liked. He was twenty-eight years old d was born and reared near Hot Springs. . He worked for four or five vears in Washington, and it Was with the money he sent back that he paid for the little home. Stout carried the mail from West Augusta to Marble valley through Deerfield. —_— PRINCE LEAVES INDIA. Wales Sails on Battle, Cruiser Re- nown for Japan.

Incidentally, greater notice was taken also ‘of con- tingent market effects in the future by reason of the action of many farmers in pooling their wheat. Corn and oats were relatively weaker than wheat, the fact having been definitely shown that stocks of pcorn available are the largest ever known.
