Herdly had the bodies been found when came a telephone message from Brie, Pa., saying that Bonier had been there and was being held in jail. Supt.

Regan and of Detectives Taylor. She said Bonier told her the old couple had d the house to him and that they had gone to a house of refuge to spend of their lives. dia you get this money?” the woman was asked by Supt. Bull. “It was given me by Mr. Bonler,” she replied. The woman was taken to the police station at once. She will be held thout bail pending the investigation into the murder. Bonler will be back here and charged with knowing of the murder, te Kahn, a relative of the Lindholm woman; Geofge Mohr, a car- Hater and & man named Kuhn, were also taken to the police station later fm the day.

On Friday, “Nov. 20, the strangor’ moved into. the Frehr house, and on that. day the ald gonple disappeated from the sight and knowledge of thelr friends ana ors. Fréhr had been seen the day before, but no one in the vicinity the house saw the couple on Friday. On the day before Thanksgiving a relative called at the house with a ket of food. A stranger met her at the door and informed her that the 'rehrs had moved away. | ‘fhe police were notified. Capt.

Phe first session of the hearing was held on Tuesday. * Among those called was Charles Bonier, the old man who was said to bought the house from the Fyehrs. Bonier appeared in court, but -caso was adjourned until yesterday, and then he did not appear. ‘I'he te lice then bega nto look for him. The suspicion of foul play grew into a y cation that murder had been dpne.
