OKKUOtf. OCTOllKK 21, 12I. JUSTICE IS ROUNDED OUT. With the conviction of Richard M. Brumfield as the murderer ' of Dennis Russell, justice has been rounded out in this county to 'the satisfaction of a great majority of the populace. Since the initial day of the crime the guilt for this most atrocious crime hdverfld closely over the defendant. 1'he chain of ' ' circumstantial evidence connecting Dr! Brumfield with the slaying of Dennis Russell was complete to the smallest detail.- There was no link that showed a semblance of breaking under the able de fense established by the attorneys representing the accused man. The slate's interests had been so securely cemented by the prose cuting attorney that they stood before the jury us the guiding hand to a just and equitable verdict A verdict that did not coun tenance the ruthless slaying of a fellow man the snapping out of a human life Without the least justification-i-though the victim had been rated as only a poor, honest hermit, and his standing in the communiy much less popular than the previous good reputation enjoyed by his slayer. . The murder case has attracted world-wide attention. The '"former prominence of the murderer and the devilish method of destroying his victim, commanded the attention of the eyes of the nation. Few parallels in criminal annals equalled the magnitude of the crime. The almost complete covering up of the terrible deed and escape of the perpetrator for a month after committing the crime, added dense mystery to the whole affair, but the finger . of suspicion was soon directed at the convicted man and his ap prehension accomplished by the alert set of officers who were de ' termined to' fasten the responsibility for the murder of Dennis Russell on the once prominent dentist, strong evidence pointing to -. ft is guilt from the moment of the crime. The accused man has had n fair and impartial trial. His protestations of innocence after conviction count for naught. It Is the last ray of comfort to a suffering conscience. It is the only hope held out by the murderer to disguise his self-confessed guilt and create a 'delusion' within hie own mind that without a com plete confession he will go to eternity with the thought that the world believes him innocent of the crime committed. A man wlios6 life is hanging in the balance grasps at the most flimsy threads to weave into a cloth to wipe the blood from his btained hands. The fall from a once prominent and well liked citizen to the role of a cold-blooded murderer has pricked tho t man's conscience lo'lhut degree that ho now sees the shadow of death on the horizon his life is only hanging by a thread and , the slightest trifle in the way of defense to his deepest moments of remorse is marshalled to create a sort of false satisfaction to the condemned man's mind. ' The activities of Dr. Richard M. Brumfield in this city are a good object lesson to those who attempt to gain certain ends by unscrupulous and death-dealing methods.- The motive which caused the undoing of Brumfield was his avarice for gain. His credit was impaired, or nearly so, and something must be done to K-ither sufficient money to cover up his threatened delinquency, soon to be known to his most intimate friends, business associates ' and the community at large. The convicted man chose the role of a murderer to carry out his plans to escape only minor disgrace, if disgrace it be to bo catalogued as a bankrupt. The result of his . well-laid plans is too fresh in the minds of the public for further discussion. Richard Brumfield faces tho gallows rather than face the world for his previous shortcomings. He has been convicted of murder and will fill n murderer's grave. He leaves a wife and three innocent boys' to carry a horrifying burden throughout their entire lives the stigma of which will never be wiped from the escutcheon emblazoned on their countenance. Better that an army of creditors hound a man from one end of the earth to ihe other than to check their progress by out stretched hands from which is dripping the red blood of a fellow being. r si sen sstct - The American farm is adding to its agricultural machinery " other means of increasing efficiency and convenience. In eight states more tlinn half the farms have automobiles', 75 per cent having them in Nebraska and 73 per cent in Iowa. The states ' r from Missouri and Kansas to the northern border, on their 1,0,- (100 farms, have G:l 1,000 automobiles, says the Nation's Business. Tractors sitm to be more popular with farmers than motor trucks. Two hundred and twenty-nine thousand farms have tractors and 139,000 possess trucks. Trucks are apparently most popular in connection with farms marketing vegetables and fruit, for 10 per cent or the New Jersey farms have them. Tractors are proor tionately most numerous in South Dakota, where they are on Hi per cent of the farms. The percentage is almost as large in North Dakota, and is over 10 per cent in Montana and California as well. The farmer's wife is getting some advantages. On 61 1,000 farms that means 10 Hr cent water has been -piped into the house, and on 452,000 there is gas or electric light. The telephone is the most universal of modern facilities used on the farms. Almost '40 ier cent of all farms now have telephones, and in Iowa the figure runs up to 8fi per cent. In the states beginning with Missouri and Kansas, and extending northward, where automobiles ore most numerous, 70 per cent of the farms are equipped with tele phones. o It would have !oen n God-send to all if the watchman at the county jail last night had fallen asleep and failed to awaken until early this morning. But the.trouble with the average watchman is, lie is always on the job. 1 . i o : No sooner does one chapter in the local murder case close than a new angle presents itself.
