who returned last night from Los
Angeles, lost no time In acquainting
niiuielt with the case. The district
attorney received his first news oi
the mystery murder case from a Los
Angeles newspaper. Be purchased
a paper and glanced at the headlines.
In bold type was displayed the latest
features of the case. He was at first
dumbfounded but soon realised that
his home town was the center ot na
tionwide attraction. He caught a
train and hurried to Roseburg In
time for the inquest v
Mr. Brumfteld Testifies.
Mrs. R. M. Brumfteld wai the
first witness called- She stated her
residence as Melrose. Mr. Brumfield
was 38 years at the time of his
death, she testified. He had been a
practising dentist in Roseburg since
1911, she said. The family moved
to Roseburg following Or. Brum
tleld's graduation from a dental col
lege lu Chicago. She told of their
three children. When giving a por
tion ot the testimony Mrs. Brum
field broke down and sobbed.
"I last saw tny husband on the
morning of July IS. I talked with
htm later in the day by telephone.
He called me at noon and again at
about six o'clock p. in. He told me
ha wouldn't be home until late in
the owning and would eat a lunch
In town. He had not been feeling
well since Sunday he was troubled
with his stomach.
- "On Sunday before the accident
we visited the Meredith homestead.
My three boys wont out into the hills
with the men during the day. We re
turned to our home that evening. 1
have never noticed anything wrong
with my husband lately. He always
tried to get home from work as early
aa possible from 5 to 5:30 p. m.
"The doctor was six feet In height
He was dark complexloned and
weighed 182 pounds. He wore a
15V4 sized shirt, and a aboe about
8 H In size. He ' wore no special
make of shoes. He had no especial
marks or scars on his body. He had
dark hair, some part or It gray. He
wore a fraternity ring the only one
he ever possessed."
At this point the district attorney
handed her the ring taken from the
dead body. She readily identified It
as the doctor's.
"He possessed an Elgin watch,"
Dennis Russell

nihr inHir.tinn. tmd him tn huv
tnat the body is that of Russell. .
The hair on the pieces of the scalp
which was found Is an iron gray, and
that was the color of Russell's hair,
while Dr. Brumfleld's hslr wss very
has a method of making Identifica
tions from the hair. The coroner
stated that he would do that Im
mediately.
The body was so badly burned that
It was cooked, Mr. Hunter says, and
for that reason It was impossible to
get a good finger print He did ob
tain one print which might be traced
on, but as yet he has obtained no
finger prints of either of the men.
Ho did get one from Russell mir
ror, but when the film was devei
oped the print did not ahow. He has
wired to the coroner to send up the
mirror.

she said in continuing her testimony,.
"He had a lie pin Flour de Lis
shaped with a chip diamond.
"He had no oxford shoe. He has
been weariug black shoes this sum
mer. The doctor hsd a Remington
.30 automatic. . it was In the car on
Sunday on our trip. He had no other
firearms. It was carried in a hunt-
! ing case.
"We had made two trips to the
Meredith homestead. On our first
trip to the homestead we met Den
nis Russell. He had dinner with us.
Dr. Brumfield had no conversation
with Mr. Russell about any work to
be done on our place.
"My husband drove an Elgin au
tomobile. I do not know the license
number."
She slated that Dr. Brumfield
never hunted a great deal but had
been on several trips- ,
"My husband purchased some
dynamite some time ago and placed
It on hla desk in his office . He in
tended to blow out a stump on our
farm.
"Dr. Brumfteld did not drink nor
use any drugs to my knowledge. I
was familiar with his office work.
"The doctor always was a careful
driver sometimes he drove rather
fast but he never took any chances.
, "I viewed the body In the morgue
and it Is most certainly my husband.
I know every line, every curve and
the general build of the body and the
body Is like the doctor's even to
the callous the ring made on his fln
Ter. He was of athletic build, al
though his legs wero rather slender,
"its skin was dark, sort - of light
irown- He had fairly thick hair on

"I can't think ot any thing more
that will prove to the jury that the
body Is Dr. Brumfield. I know It Is
he. t saw Dr. Brumfield and Den
nis Russell together. Mr. Russell
was very, very thin, his neck hollow
ind much broader than be was thick.
Mr. Russell's hair was thin.
"My husband carried about 114.

lie had one endowment policy. He
took '.one policy out that I knew
nothing of.. He went partly in debt
to buy our ranch; He was always
optimistic about everything never
melancholy. His practice has been
specially good during the past two
weeks.
The district attorney asked again
concerning Dr. Brumfleld's gun. She
utld the gun was almost new and
had only been used once. -
"I was In the garden when the
lector left home on the morning of
fuly 13th. He was about 10 mln
ites late and was In a hurry to get
o the office. He was wearing light
imiimer underwear and usually wore
white sox. I think his white ones
vere all gone, though, and he had
tome black ones to wear. He usually
arrled an extra pair of socks In fats

"The doctor always kept his fin
ger nails well trimmed.
I viewed tho body early Thtirs-

Lloyd Davis, one of the boys who
first discovered the burning auto
wreck on the Melrose road, testified
next. He told of seeing a light glar
ing on the trees. They drove psst
the blase and saw the wreck and
recognised the car as that of Dr.
Brumfield. The time was about 11
o'clock.
"We stopped at tb wreck about
two minutes and then hurried to
town." he said. "We saw no bodl
around the wreck while there- We
notified some people In town and
then went back to the wreck. On
the way to town w saw no one on
the road.
On the second trip to the wreck
the headless body was found by Jim

home. It drove up within a tew yards
ot tne uuuaing ana tuen lurnco. in
turning around In the narrow road
It nearly went over the grade, the
rear wheels going over tho bank
and spinning for a fow seconds be
fore traction was secured.
Mr. Weaver says the car then
started back towards the Myrtle
Creek bridge and went about a hair
or three-quarters of a mile before It
topped again, remaining there for a
long space of titno and then started
up again going at a rapid rate to the
highway. Mr. Weaver's road leads
to the highway at the Myrtle Creek
bridge, following up the right side
of the river for a mile and a half.
It la presumed that the car, follow
ing the murder, dodged tho bowman
jcar at Vandyne Creek and then fol
lowed Pearce's car to the Myrtle
Creek bridge, taking the private
road there.
A bis Dool of dried blood was lo
cated and It Is possible that the
teeth and Jawbones were removed
at tbls point. There Is a big deep
bole in the river to tue rigni oi me

CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER
THIRTY MINUTE PARKING
ORDINANCE NEXT MEETING
Measure Introduced to Limit Time Care May be Left Standing on
Main Streets; Counciimen Appear to "
Favor Ordinance. '
A parking ordinance, prohibiting
the parking of car on Sheridan,
Cass, or Jackson streets, between the
hours ot 8 a. m. and 6 p. m., for a
period longer than SO minutes will
be presented to the city council at
It next meeting, with a good chance
for passage. It is quite probable
that the ordinance will also Include
Main atree, from Ijine to Douglas In
order to keep that thoroughfare
open In the event ot tire, aa it Is
used almost entirely by the tire de
partment In going either north or
south.
Tho matter was brought np for
discussion upon the recommendation
of Chief of Police Shambrook, who
stated that the time Is rip for inch
a measure.
"The streets are frequently block
ed" he said, "and business 1 greatly
hindered. Our (treat are narrow
and when cars are lined up on each
side there Is scarcely room for two
marhinea to pas. The delivery wag
ons, or farmers loading or unloading
produce have to stop out In the mid
dle ot the street to get Into the
stores and then it la practically im
possible for other cars to get by.
'Many people owning cars are In
the habit of leaving their machines
landing on the streets all day long
na as a resttt traffic Is greatly Ira'
neded. It Is lime this practice was
Hopped and some effort made to
keep our streets clear."
It was the concensus of opinion
-if the counciimen that such an or-
llnance Is needed and considerable
lscussion on Its extent wai held. It
vaa proposed to Include Sheridan
itreet, Crss Street, Jatkson street
'rom Cam to Douglas and Oak from
he bridge to JackRon. To this was
'dded Main street from Lane to
Douglas.
After much argument, however. It
vas decided to ellmlnnte restriction'
n Oak street and It will not be In
hided In the ordinance. The conn
i apparently Is divided at the pres
nt time on Main street. It Is feared
'owsver, that If parking Is allowed
here the street will become blockeC
nd In the event of a fire the fire
rtirk would be held up by traffic
