Mrs. R. M. Brumfield. wife ot the
accused dentist, appeared at the
county Jail bright and early this
morning carrying a basket loaded
ith delicacies tor the prisoner. Her
slits with her husband have now
been limited to thirty minutes and
according to her statements made
this morning to a News-Review rep
resentative, she is "not going to
and for it." She seems to think
t she should be allowed to visit
1th the doctor as long as she de
res and Bays that she will stand on
ose rights. The officers, however.
re of a different belief. Brumflold
has been removed from the cell on
e top floor to one of the Interior
dark cells on the lower floor and It
as here that he? greeted his wife
pon her visit this morning.
Accompanying Mrs. Brumfield to
e Jail, was her son Richard. Th
ouug boy does not seem to realize
the charges placed against his father
for as he kissed the prisoner this
morning he smiled a smile of hap
noes to be again In the arms of his
father. Dr. Brumrield, hugged the
youngster close to him and kissed
him again and again. He then kissed
his wife and the family reunion hi
the Jail was a happy one At the
ppearance of his wife and young
son at the door of the cell this morn-
ng Brumfield broke down and cried
like a child. Ills ife then broke
Into tears and It was some time be
fore tbey were able to calm them
selves and engage In conversation.
When they -wt-re-able to talk, the
conversation drifted along on com
mon subjects, such as health, weath
er, etc., and no mention was made
of tho crime or any thing connected
with Itrtimfli Id's flight from this
city.
Mrs. Brumfield carried a basket
containing fruit, a Lottie of miik
nd three hooks of fiction. Sho
tood outside of the Jail for a con
siderable length of time this mnrn-
ng awaiting the arrival of the sher
iff. She appeared very nervous and
when approached by a News-Review
representative she attempted to
avoid any conversation. However.
at last she talked freely concerning
her husband's Incarceration In the
all and In speaking of the treatment
accorded the alleged mnrdorer she
appeared to be very excited.
They are starving him to dentil,
she suid. "Why how can they ex
pect him to recover his normal sense
when he doesn't get the sort of food
he needs. Yesterday they fed the
prisoners sumo break fust and tliev
did not gel another thing to eat until
late last night. The meat they hail
for breakfast wa; tainted and made
he doctor very sick throughout the
lay. He was reeling quite badly
last night."
When asked whether or not her
husband appeared to be In the nor
mal senses he possessed prior to the
crime she said: "No. he Is not the
same man. He Is changed consider
ably. He does net talk normally nor
does he appear as he did when List
I saw him."
Mrs. Brumfield was then loll that
circumstances seemed to he very
much against her husband and U
appeared very probable that he
would be convicted of murdur in the
first degree. In answer to this she
said: "I cannot see it that way.
The newspapers have made it appear
that my husband la guilty but I ana
sure they will change when every
thing Is known. There is nothing;
clear that would indicate he killed
a man and when you say 'everything
is against him' you are making a
false statement You have Just malt
It appear that way. I am against
newspapermen and do not want to
talk to them."
Mrs. llrumfleld remained with her
husband for only a short time this
morning and she was accompanied
by Sheriff Stariuer. who kept close
tab on his watch to see that the visit
did not overlap the regulatod space
or time. When she started to leave
the doctor took her In hi arms and
kissed ber fondly. He :nen kissed
his son. All three were crying bit
terly as the heavy iron door clanked
between them and tho wife of that
accused man was lead from the Jail.
