BY-PRODUCTS OF LITERATURE
Authoress, Planning African Trip, Cer
tainly Is Overoloking Nothing
That Can BeMde Useful.
Using the by-products Is the most
characteristic feature of distinctly
modern Industry. How thoroughly
this principle hus been applied to lit
uiuture conies out in an Interview with
a charming nnd uhle Chicago uovellst
wlio Is taking her five-year-old daugh
ter Into Africa gorilla hunting with
Carl Akeley's party.
The nullior In question will make the
trip to collect local color, the basic
material In the fiction industry. The
first proiluct will be a novel, with a
movie to follow. Hut not all the local
color which an African trip Is bound tn
yield can he used In a novel, so the
uutlior plans to work over the wnste III
a travel hook, which will find a ready
kale to that small hut choice public
r,lli has wearied of Action. The third
nnd rather special product will be the
story of her small daughter's reaction
to the adventure, which is expected to
make another Interesting book,
Kncli of the three books Is a sep
arate product of the basic local color;
each will satisfy a certain special
need and reach a public of Its own.
Between the fiction readers, the arm
chair travelers and the students of tho
chlM-nilinl,, this author pretty well
covers the ok -buying classes. Con
sidering how little daughter will prob
ably react uncn she sights her first
gorilla, the "child reactions" book may
fairly be called "utilizing the squeal."

"I have the accurate dote now on

"I talked to a man Inst week nnd

It Isn't hot then.
"Talked to a man Monday and he
told me Just when to catch them. I
learned from him that the time to fish
was between k town ami 12 mid
night. He cnught lots of bass and
Itluegllls and (Tnpples at that time.
"Talked to another man anil he told
me the best time to fish was from
sunup until about 10 o'clock, and from
4 p. in. until dark.
"There was nhother neighbor of
mine who gave me good advice. He
never fishes after dark, but says he
never paid any attention to the beat
and that he always caught as many
fish in the middle of the day as he
did early In the morning or In the
cool of the evening.
"So you see, I know Just when, to

Had Severe Headaches.
"Since these accidents, Richard

severe headaches. He always com
tPlalnod of the headaches starting in
the buck portion of- bis bead and
ranging frontwards towards his eyes.
These headache appeared ' at fre
quent intervals but were not con

these headaches were more severe.
Was a Sleep-Walker.
"My brother suffered from somna-
bluism. He often got out of bed
when a boy and walked around the
room. My mother once caught him
Just In time to keep him from Jump
ing out of a window. When awak
ened he would never remember these
actions.
"He always had a tendency to be
come delirious upon the si Urn test
provocation and this delirium wae
often caused by Indigestion which
he suffered.
"In his early life he was not
strong. He did not gain weight or
appear better until he was about 15
or 16 years old. Since then he has
always been extremely nervous,

"Hla eyes have always bothered

ed of this weakness and at the age
of 16 years was forced to wear
glasses. He baa worn them contin

"His headache attacks were near

and blindness. During the time he
spent in my dental office at the time
he had his college vacation, be suf
fered these headaches. He always
explained them to me as attacks of
biliousness.
Of Htndloas Nature.
"He was always of a studious dis
position," said Dr. John Brumfleld in
concluding his djrent testimony.
He started to testify that his fath
er was afflicted with sleep-walking
but the state objected to the testi
mony on the grounds that it had not
been shown that the defendant was
suffering from hereditary Insanity.
Crowds not daunted.
The alleged masterlmurderer was
lead from the court room by the
guards during the noon recess and
marched to his cell. The rain was
heating down In torrents but the
downpour did not effect the number
of spectators who were lined on the
sldnllnea to get a gllmps of this al
leged killer de luxe.
ltrother Continues Testimony
When court convened this after
noon, John Ilrumfleld, brother of the
prisoner, again took the stand. When
asked regarding the Insanity of other
members of tils family, he stated that
a brother of his grandfather bad
two children who were Insane; that
his father had a brother who was
insane, and tJiat his own and the
prisoner's brother was Insane.
His older brother'a spell of In
sanity lasted about a week, he said,
during which time the afflicted per
son declared hia father and mother
to be Insane. Upon cross-examination,
the witness stated that this
case of Insanity was due to over
study snd over-work.
He said that the youngest brother
of his father was effected, and would
disappear at times without cause,
and remain away for from several
days to several months, and upon his
return was never able to account for
his whereabouts.
The witness stated that he visited
his brother in Hoseburg from June
to October in tine year 1911. but
could not recall any of the severe at
tacks of headaches during his visit.
Parents Never Insane.
When cross-examined by the state,
the witness stated that neither his
father nor his mother were ever In
sane, nor showed any symptoms of
insanity.
Wbpn questioned by the attorney,
he admitted that a doctor was not
called to attend hia brother at either
of the times he was Injured In his
boyhood.
In regard to the education of the
denllwt, the witness said ttiBt he en
tered school at 7 years of age, en
tored college at 19, went to college
4 years, and then attended dental
rollnge. His college career was nev
er interrupted by any severe Illness,
the witness said.
I'nclo Had Memory lapse.
The witness said that his uncle, a
school teacher, began to have dis
appearing spells at about the age of
25 or 30 years. He stated that the
uncle would wander away many
time. The family at first tried to
locate him upon each disappearance
hut after he had done this strange
thing for several times they simply
awaited his return. I'pon his return
each time tbe witness said the man
appeared to be perfectly normal and
was rational both before and after
these flpeDa. At first the family-
could not account for trie strange ac
tions but thev were later attributed
to a deranged mind.
nruniricld Walked In Hleep.
John Brumfleld testified that the
defendant walked In his sleep at
about the agea of IS or 16. He said
the attacks would only last a few
minutes.
The witness also testified that his
brother was Insane at one time for
a period of a week due to over-study
snd overwork. He died at the age
of It years following the Insanity

In the house at Uie time of tbe In
sanity attack with a wild expression
on bis face and told bis brother to
go get the neighbors, that his moth
er and father were Insane. He said

part of the time but was never vio

tion of Insanity the witness answer
ed "If I did, I would take off my
own."

brother, the prisoner, told him dur

thought the had chosen the wrong pro
fession on account of his weak eyes.
DKFENSK KIMtlXGS Kill- e
PKISK.
,
e The defense late this after- 4
noon sprung a surprise witness 4
In the person of J. P. Tooley,
factory and boiler inspector for
the Long Brothers bonding
house of Portland. Mr. Tooley e
e testified that he was making an e
Inspection of the boiler In the 4
e Perkins building on a morning e
between the dates of July 2 and
July 6. Me was not positive of
the date.
4 "I had an ulcerated tooth,"
he said, "and went upstairs to
4 find a dentist to relieve the
4 pain. I found the door of Dr.
Brumfield's office open and
4 walked in. I stood In the wait- e
Ing room a few minutes and
then walked into the dntal
room. I saw Dr. Brumfleld e
4 standing with his face only a
few Inches from the wall star-
Ing Intently at a blank space be-

4 eral times and he did not seem
to hear. me. I thought he must 4
be hard of hearing and I )
walked, up closer and spoke to
him agiln. 'Are you the doctor 4
here?' I asked.
"He sprang back quickly,
whirling around, and then
Jumped over behind his dental e
chair. Ha, crouched down and
peered at me over the top of
the chair.
"I thought that the man was
crazy, and that it was no place e
for me, so I left. He looked to
me like a man who had han too e
much moonshine. I never saw
such eyes on a human being be-
fore."
He said nothing was said at the time
that would lead him to believe that
Dr. Brumfleld was suffering from in
sanity.
Father was Hlcep-Wtilkcr.
Upon re-direct examination the
witness testified that his father had
been a sleoip-'walker but that tho
spells had not been frequent He said
bis father possessed a high temper.
Another llrolhcr Testifies.
William V. Brumfleld, another
brother of the defendant, was called
to the stand to testify. This brothor
formerly resided in Rosvburg but at
the present time is employed in Min
nesota. He said that his brother,
who is on trial for his life, was a
weakling until until he was ten or
twelve years of age. He stared that
he was very nervous and easily ex
cited and often delirious at times of
excitement or during periods of
stomach trouble.
He corroborated the statement of
John Ilrumfleld that the defendant
was a sleep-walker. He said the man
would often getup and pull the cov
ers off the bed and would also often
talk in his sleep. One tinre he said
Brumfleld walked as far as the barn
and said that something was chas
ing him. The next morning he could
recollect nothing of the affair.
He also restated the occurrence of
his brother being hit with a hoard
and at another time with a ball bat,
and of him being knocked senseless
at both times. -
The severe headaches of the de
fendant were described by the wit
ness. H said that during hla stay
In Hoseburg In 1911 he remembered
one time when the man was suffer
ing from a bad headache.
The witness merely repealed the
testimony of John Brumfleld in re
gard to the Insanity of his brother.
In regard to his uncle's ease he said
that he did not know whether he
was Insane or not and that the uncle
never did tell where he went and
that he did not know whether It was
because the uncle did not know or
did not want to tell where he had
been.
