PAGE EIGH1 THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1928 100 BODIES ARE RECOVERED FROM RUINED THEATRE Continue Search for Dead Following Tragedy in Madrid Madrid, Sept. ~ 24.--Approxi- mately 100 dead had been recover- ed tonight from the ruins of the Novedades theatre, where a Sum- day performance had been sudden ly turned into a raging inferno which made a holocaust of the panic-stricken audience. The fire chief directing his men fa probing the smoldering wrecks wiadch had been the saidways and balconies said tonight that he be- lieved 40 more bodies might be found and that the total death toll could be conservatively estimated at 120. The poor bore the brunt of the tragedy. Whole families of laboring men had been packed in the upper galleries, The narrow stairways leading to these levels were quick- ly choked as fathers sought to 1ignt a way through for their children. The orchestra and stalls were only halt filled when the fire broke out, and the majority of the oc- cupants were able to make their way out, Less than half of the bodies re-: covered have been identified, al- though frantic relatives besiege the morgue and throw themselves against the redoubled police lines at the scene of the fire. In the charred auditorium of death the firemen and soldiers are continuing their steady search. The terror which gripped the entire audience when the flames suddenly broke out on the stagt and ran up the curtains was in- creased when the electric light wires were burned through within a few minutes, The surging mass then struggled toward the exits in a darkness only illumined by the flickering glare of the flames, An unidentified hero was rve- ported to have stood with an elee- tric torch at one of the. exits to guide the people, He is believed to have remained at his post too long and to have perished with the last of those whom he attempted to save, Many Pathetic Scenes While most of the company which was playing at the theatre escaped through rear exits, one chorus girl was killed, There were also casualties among the music- | ians who had remained im their pit as long as possible in an effort to calm the spectators wiht their music, - Since so many of the dead amd injured were persons of small means, the council of Ministers will meet tomorrow to appropriate money for the relief of the stricken survivors. About one-quarter of the damage to the theatre, estimated at 1, 000,000 pesetas (about $165,000), was covered by insurance. Those who searched the ruins stumbled upon many tragedies. Two lovers were found clapsed in each other's arms. A dead mother was seen with her arms still cling- ing to ihe body of her son. From the position of many bodies, the searchers gathered that people in the galleries finding the stairways blocked. had leaped over the railings and plunged to the or- chesira floor. Evidence of the blind panic in which many tried to fight their way to the exits was seen in the knife wounds found on seveial bodies. The burial of most of the bodies so far recovered will be held to- morrow. As a sign of mourning, all theatres in the city will remain closed throughout the day. The newspapers and police are still being deluged with inquiries for those who were believed to have been in the theatre. FARMERS IN WEST HAVE THEIR OWN THRESHING OUTFITS Sask., Sept. 24.-- With most of the farmers in the advent of the small threshing western Canada today own their own outfit, in contrast to the cus- tom a few years ago when ona thresher served an entire district. The prevailing size of separators this autumn ranges between 24 and 26 inches. In former years they were from 30 to 60 inches, with the larger size predominating. Under favorable conditions the smal Imachines thresh from 1,400 to 1,800 bushels daily.

Both admitted that they had killed the woman's husband to "get him out of the way" and their nearly per- fect crime was discovered only -be- cause the murderess suspected her lover of "talking" and planned to kill him. Joself Pochezoil and Mrs. Brach- mann, the -two principals in this story of illicit love and crime, are awaiting trial here. Similar in some ways to a noto- rious American murder case, the man was first to confess and Mrs. Brachmann admitted complicity only when there was no escape, in- termingling her confession with bit- ter words of condemnation for the weakness of her lover and partner in erime. Brachmann and Pocheziol were neighbors. Both were married but Pocheziol's wife was slowly dying of tuberculosis. While she was still alive, Mrs. Brachmgnn started a love affair with Pocho®iol. She made plans then to remove her husband from the scene, police said. Make Thre: Attempts After Mrs. Pocheziol died, Airs. | Brachmann induced Pocheziol to kill her husband. Three times she spur- red the man to a point where he at- tempted to murder and each time he weakened at the ervitical moment. First, Pocheziol mixed poison in Brachmann's drink during a de bauch, The dose was too weak or the intended victim was too rugged. After that failure, Mrs. Brachmann concocted another plot, police said. They got her husband drunk and left him to die in the snow on a cold, winter night. Pocheziol, however, lost his courage and carried the man home. The woman was not discouraged. She tried it again - with poisoned mushrooms, but Brachmann--a regu- lar giant in stature--recovered. Pocheziol was all for quitting, but Mrs. Brachmann persuaded her lover to make a last attempt. This time she was on the scene to supervise activities. Like her literary count- erpart, Therese Raquin in Zola's fa- mous novel of that name, Mrs. Brachmann decided to drown her husband. They got him drunk again and threw him in a well. His body was discovered the next day and the cor- oner declared death was accidental. Everything worked out perfectly, it seemed. Then--like all perfect erimes--the terror of the act gripped the lovers. Mrs. Brachmann did not dread the terror of her conscience but she sus- pected her lover was about to tell of | diet. his act. She decided to kill him and | manufactured products to this end she attempted to win her daughter to a plan to do away with Pocheziol. conversation and loudly accused the woman of her erimes: bors heard the quarrel and told the police. . The couple was arrested and the man soon had confessed. The man held out for five days but now has placed her confession in the hands of the police.

Mr. Langley pointed to the steady increase oi Canadian trae with Japan during the past filtgea years. "Japan is Canada's best customer," he declared, "only Great Uritain and the United S.ates taking precedence over hen, With steadily increasing popula- tion and a texdency toward a west- ern ded, Japan will look more and more to foreign markets for food supply; and Canada, with its fav- orable location, is in a position to supply that demand." Mr. Langley welcomed the trial shipments of Alberta catile which recently were forwarded to the Japanese market as an opportunity for trade development. Japan was turning more and more to a meat Lumber and raw and semi- of many kinds were also in demand in the Flowery Kingdom.
