Brumfield appears to think that

tt . Sheriff sax. he "slipped- this
morning, when Starmer got bard
lolled" and began calling the prison-i-down
for his statements to his

me sheriffs story, Brumfield
tin lit w'fe only as Mamie, But
vsea questioned why he had made
Mruin statements to ' his "wife,"
n very prompt with his excuses
UU1 he saw his break and then be
nt to "crawfish."
Yesterday In an attempt to test
Ihf alncerety of Doc's pretended
until lapse, Sheriff Starmer and a
Xnrs-Review representative entered
ike jail, sud when Chief Balllet,
fellow prisoner of the doctor mis
took the reporter for Attorney Dexter
Rice, in attempt was made to carry
out the deception, in order to find
cut whether the alleged murderer's
pren of recognition had entirely
iistppeared.
"That Is not Rice," said Brum
IWd. Sure that's Rice," answered the
atjertff. Further developments fel
loted, during which the prisoner
Mok a healthy swing at the nose of
the pencil pusher and almost dis
annected him from bis copy paper
Kite pad.
This morning when the officers
altered Brumfield spoke to them and
ailed Starmer "sheriff" Although
to appeared not to know his name.
A few minutes later Mrs. Brum
bld entered, accompanied by Jailer
Frank Hopkins. Mrs. Brumfield was
womptly recognized as "Mamie" and
Bramflrld completely failed to
iKognlse her as his wife. During the
nine of the conversation Brumfield
told his wife:
"The sheriff lied to me. He
brought a Man here and said he was
Attorney Rice, and he wasn't Rice,"
After the woman had gone Sheriff
farmer entered the cell.
"What did you tell your wife I
W to you for?" Starmer demanded.
"Well I, er ah you did He
to me." Brumfield stammered.
"What did you want to tell your

"I was mad because you lied to

"Was that any reason for telling
Tour wife about It?" asked the
fcerlrT.
"Well 1" then Brumfield appar

owing he had been talking with
wife and stammered out, "but It

Tourist's Child
Hurt In Wreck
The 8 weeks old son of Mr and
Mrs. A. W. Edlger, of Dallas, was
Injured, perbapa fatally In an auto
accident which o ecu red this morning
at the corner of Cass and Main
streets. Mr. and Mrs. Edlger and
their Infant son, and Mr. and Mrs. J.
R. Fry and their baby daughter.
were in the car owned and driven by
Mr. Fry. They were on their way
from Dallas to California and spent
the niaht at the camp grounds. As
they started out this morning they
collided with the car driven by J. M.
Telford or Looking Glass at the cor
ner of Cass and Main streets. The
force of the collision threw the tdl
ger baby from his mother's arms
and he fell to the pavement, his head
striking with a hard blow on the
pavement. The Ford car driven by
Mr. Fry was slightly damaged but
no other passengers were hurt.
Mr. Telford was placed under ar
rest following an Investigation which
caused the officers to decide that he
was rutting: the corner when the ac
cident occured. The tracks of both
machines were plainly marked on
the pavement and Indications were
that Telford In attempting to turn
from Cass into Main stret, cut the
corner to a large degree. He was
Immediately notified to consider
himself under arrest but-waa not
placed In Jail. He will probably e
bold In this status until the serious
ness of the child's Injuries are de
termined.
The Injured child was taken to the
office of Dr. Hoover and then rushed
to Merer Hosnital. Its head Is bad
ly hurt and It is possible that a frac
ture or concussion may exist. Its
true condition will not be known for
at least 24 hours. A complaint was
tied for Telford charging him
with violation of the traffic ordln
ance and he has been ordered to ap
near In the recorder's court on
Thursday. In the event the child's
inlurlM nrove fatal a charge of man
slaughter will probably be placed
against him.

MEETING HELD
Plans Adopted For the Paving
of the South Stephen
Street-Connection.
DELAY IS EXPECTED
lleranse of Length of Necossary Iro-
ceetliire. It Will Probably lie
Middle of 'November I lot ore
Hid Are Received
A special meeting of the city coun
cil was held last night for the pur
pose of considering the paving of
South Stephens street. The engin
eer baa completed the plans for the
paving of the street with reinforced
concrete pavement and the plans
were adopted at the meeting last
night and the city recorder was In
structed to advertise the city's Inten
tion to Improve.
In order to keep the legal pro
ceed u re straight the council will ad
vertise the assessment against tha
property benefitted by tho paving,
It Is expected, however, that the city
will be called upon to pay a portion
of the cost. The property owners
will doubtless protest beurlng the
full cost as the pavement undoubted
ly will not benefit the property to
the full amount of Its cost. When
they appear before the council, It
is very probable that a board of ar
bitration will be appointed and this
board will work out a plan under
which the property will be called up
on to py only Us porportlonate
share of the cost.
Because of the proceedure adopted
It will probably be the middle of
November before the bids will be In
snd unless the season Is unusally
dry It will be Impossible to pave the
road this winter and the city will
he out a large sum of money to keep
It In passable condition during the
wet season.
in addition to adopting the plans
and proceedure for the paving of the
connecting strip, the council consid
ered the destruction or itgnis on
?outh Mill street. Glenn Woodruff
a resident of that section reported
that hoys and tramps hsve been
breaking many light globes by
throwing rock from the railroad
track. The matter was referred to
the committee on electric lights.
An ordinance was also read pro
viding for the paving of Fowler
street.

ROV GARDNER WRITES TO
SAN FRANCISCO EDITOR TO
GET NOTORIETY IS RELIEF
Handwriting In Letter Is Identical With That In Prison Records
No Clue as to His Present Whereabouts Can be
Obtained Letter is Printed. ....
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 27. The
officers believe that Roy Qardner'a
reason for writing the letter to the
editor of the San Francisco Bulletin
yesterday was for the purpose of
gaining further notoriety. The
handwriting of the latter is identical
with that of Gardner In the prison
records and the letter la undoubtedly
authentic. No clue aa to the fugi
tive's present whereabouts can be
obtained from the letter.
Gardner's letter reads:
"On September 6, about 3 p. m.,
we were watching a ball game and
during the last half of the fifth In
ning I turned to my partners and
asked them It It was time to 'wreck'
the bsll game and they said "yes,"
I stooped and cut the wires In the
fence and dived thru. Two others,
Bogard and Impyn, followed. I sup
pose the other two lost their nerve
at the last minute, because they
failed to put in an appearance In the
race across the fields.
Haw Impyn Shot.
"After running about 300 yar4vl'
turned and looked baoi. to, awe how
far behind the others were. I aaw'
Bogrd about 20 feet behind me and
Impyn waa down about 100 feet
back.
"I was hit the first time when
about 200 feet from the edge of the
brush, and I stumbled but did not
fall. It went through the fleshy part
of my right leg, about tour Inches
below my hip. Bogard saw me
stumble and when he passed me he
asked me If I waa hit. I said yea,
and told hiiu to go on. He turned
and started, and after running about
25 or 30 yards he spun around and
fell on his back. When I passed him
his mouth was wide open and I
thought he was taking his last
breath.
'I felt awfully lonesome about
that time. Seven rifles spitting at
me and badly winded, with about 75
yards to go.
Shot Numbs Leu.
'I waa hit the second time when
about 50 yards from the fence.- That
waa when I fell the first time, mat
one went through my left leg below
the knee and drilled by shin bone
but did not break my leg. I got up
and look a couple of steps to see If
my leg was broken, and It held my
weight all right, but my foot felt
like It was asleep. That waa the
reason I fell the second time at the
fence.
'After getting over the fence I
ran about 50 yards and dropped In
the brush, completely exhausted. In
a few minutes the guards were run
ning past me and, Judging from their
breathing, they must have been an
In' also. Dr. Jenlo (the prison phy
sician) stepped within ten feet of me
nnd called to somebody to start a
fire and smoke me out. A few min
utes Inter the warden passed nie and
nflssed stepping on my foot by about
18 Inches. He started a lire about
50 feet from me and then passed me
again and started a Are about 50
feet on the other side of me.
Heard Officers' Words.
"I Agured that waa no place for
Dolly Gardner's husband, so I began
crawling back toward the fence that
I had so recently Jumped over. I got
back to the fence and laid flat up
against It until dnrk.
"About dusk the warden and Dr.
Jentn came up and stood within 20
fet of me and the warden said one
of the reporters wanted to know
which one of tho guards shot Impyn
and he said he did not know and
wouldn't tell him If he did know. I
thought to myself I could tell him
who shot me all right. I hid there
until about midnight and I figured
my only 'out' was to crawl past Mr.
leister, the guard who was pairoi-
Ing the field I ran across that after
noon. Slipped Past (iuard.
"I crawled along the fence until
I was about 100 yards south of Hels
ter and then I rattled the tence anil
coughed, and here came llelster tip-
toeing down there snd looking hard
When he came to where he heard the
noise I was going back north along
the fence and I slipped through the
fence and crawled along through a
sort of lane back toward the prison
barn.
"When I got lo within 100 yards
of the barn I collapsed from loss of
blond and laid there aliout two
hours. I thought then that I would
have to give it up. but I finally man
aged to get to the wtaer trough and
ret a good drink that revived me
Ilk shot of hop. I got up on the
hay loft of the barn and stayed
there two days, coming down at
night and getting all the milk
could drink. That milk sure was
Ufa saver.
Hays Swim IU0 One.
"I left the barn Thursday night
and made it about half way aorosa
the Island, going north, before day
light. I la'd In the brush all day
Friday, the ninth, and went on to
the north edge or the Island that
night. I watched the boats all day
Saturday and Saturday night and
Sunday, and swam to Fox Island on
Sunday night or, to be exact, early
Monday morning. If I hadn't had
the tide with ma I never would have
made It, because It was the coldest
swim I ever expect to take. It prob
ably felt colder to me than It really
waa on account of my having lost so
much blood, but at that I believe a
polar bear would freeze in . that
water. I thought I was a powerful
swimmer, but I don't think so now.
That swim sure got my coat.
Now With Frlemd.
'I stayed on Fox Island foitfaays.

their apples, gaining every hour.
'I can't tell you-whore I went af

say this much, though, I am with a

am sure everything will tra - o.kaa.

'I wish you would tell the world
for me that I am 'through' aa a crim

Gardner."
Wife Comments.
Mrs. Dolly Nelson Gardner, wife
of the bandit, In an Interview for the
Bulletin, today characterised her
husband's letters as "foolish," and
said that he showed "poor judg
ment." 'But then that Is why he was cap
tured last June," ahe continued,
"when he Insisted pn coming to ses
me and little Jean after a year's ab
sence. But I never nave or never
will be a party to his law breaking
or hla escapea. I am aa Ignorant of
his doings as any stranger.
'While the dearest wish of my lire
Is that Roy would be pardoned, I
have little hope of this at this time,
hut I do believe if he were given an
other chance he would go straight."
Red Cross
Holds Meeting
The members of the executive
committee of the Red Cross were
called to a special meeting at 10:30
thla morning by their president, A.
A. Wilder. The meeting waa held
In the chamber of commerce room.
Owing to the small number at
tending, regular business could not
be transacted, however, the toplo for
discussion was that of supplying the
county health nurse, Miss Caroline
Wallace, with collapsible scales.
Nurse Organizes
Health Groups
Miss Carolina Wallace, Douglas
county public health nurse. Is at
Gardiner and Keedsport this week
organizing community public health
groups to work in conjunction witn
the public health association. It Is
the aim of the public health nurse to
provide better health conditions In
the county. A community may be
powerful, as Us people are especially
fit.
The public health nurse looks to
the county as her partner. If the
work In the county Is to be success
ful the county must come forwsrd
snd pool Its energy and talent with
that contributed by the health nurse.
What Kipling aald about military
victories applies Just aa emphatically
to public health victories:
"It Is not the guns or the armament,
