The curtain was officially drawn on
the Brumfield tragedy today as far as
the State of Oregon is concerned. W.
F. Harris, custodian of the estate, this
morning paid over to the county the
sum of $1,728.80 representing the costs
assessed against the defendant during
the murder trial. The cost of bringing
certain witnesses here for the defense
and some of the state's witnesses, was
assessed against Brumfield.
Following' the decision of the Jury
finding him guilty, the circuit court
approved a Judgment order that the
state recover its costs and disburse
ments, in the action.
A bill was filed showing the costs
which could be legally assessed
against the defense, care being taken
that nothing should be listed which
might raise an objection.
Brumfield appealed the case and
consequently the Judgment order was
held up. The Supreme court heard the
appeal but affirmed the lower court.
Before sentence could be passed
again, however, Brumfield took his
own life, thus bringing the case to an
end. A petition for rehearing was
then before the Supreme court and
an order of the court taking official
recognition of Brumfleld's death was
then obtained.
District Attorney Neuner a short
time ago filed with W. F. Harris, the
trustee of the estate, a claim for the
amount of the county's Judgment
This claim set forth the cost bill, the
Judgment order and the mandated f
the Supreme court, together with de
cisions from the law showing the state
to have a clear lein against the estate.
The district attorney stated that un
less the Judgment was paid that the
county would proceed to bring suit to
collect the amount held to be due.
After taking the county's claim up
with the creditors of the estate and
consulting the law regarding the mat
ter. Mr. Harris today turned over to
the district attorney a check for $1,-
722.80 which will be turned over to the

8ALEM, Ore., Jan. 8. Bidding
affectionate farewell to the publle
service dt the State of Oregon with :.
which he has been connected for '
twelve years, Ben W. Olcott, retlr-
lng governor, today addressed a
message to the state legislators ln
which he offered a few suggestions.
He stressed the Importance of
giving attention to the soldiers' 1
loan act, declaring that the "law
should be revised or supplemented
whereby the purposes of the legis
lation and the interests of both
beneficlerles and the stute may be
fully protected by adequately safe
guarding the stupendous sum In
volved." The legislators' are urged hy the re
tiring governor to do nothing to de
crease the efficiency of the state In
stitutions, which he said are man
aged on a business basis, should
continue so, with necessary funds
for the administration.
Mr. Olcott suggested that pioneers
should be honored by -designating
the great - road they followed
through the state as the Oregon
Trail.
He advised legislation against the
illegal use of narcotics shoul4'-ber'-
mnde drastic and effective and that
third offenders should receive pent- j
tentlary sentences, ale also proposed
that a constitutional amendment 1
should be submitted as the people
providing that special sessions of
legislature be confined to the sub- j
Ject matter contained In the execu
tive call.
The message In full follows:
To the Members of the Oregon
Legislature:
For twelve years I have been ,
connected with publle life. In Ore
gon. I now lay down tho'se cares
without qualms or regrets. To be
granted serious and grave respon- ,
nihilities by your fellow men Is a
high honor, as well as a sacred
trust. I would be remiss In my duty
and churlish to my conscience if I
fulled, ln as warm' terms as I know.
to express my deep appreciation for
those honors.
As time mellows tha whips and
scorns of fortune, so will those
honors become dearer to me as the
years make them treasured memo
ries. To those who have given me
their confidence, to those I have en
deavored to serve to my utmost
capacity, to the people of this mag
nificent state, I can offer nothing
but the expressions of a grateful
heart for the long years during
which I have had Intimate associa
tion with their pulillo affairs.
I sincerely trust that you will give
the most careful thought and atten
tion t.. the Soldier's Loan Act. The
successful administration of the
duties Imposed by this law has been
a matter of great concern to the
commission delegation to carry out
its provisions. The loan feature of
the soldier's law presented a new
subject In legislation and naturally
in drafting the law all features of
Importance were not fully covered.
A great volume of work required
ln Its administration has been .per
formed and we think It has been
well done, and we believe with as
great security to' the state as possi
ble In view of the law's liberal pro
visions and positive terms. The com
mission is indebted to the American
l.eglnn for Its great and helpful co
operation. Uy all means the law should be
revised and supplemented whereby
the purposes of the legislation and
the interests of both beneficiaries
and the state may be fully protect
ed by adequately safeguarding the
stupendous sums involved. Every
beneficiary of the act should, and
wo think wilt, welcome such action
by the legislature.
The right or wrong administra
tion of this law will reflect credit
or discredit ultimately upon the men
for the benefit of whom it was en
acted. No discredit should be al
lowed to reflect either upon a gen-
erous-hearted state or mar the rec
ord these men have made In camp.
at home, nn the battlefield abroad.
or on or under the high seas.
I trust nothing will be done to In
any manner decrease the efficiency
or our state Institutions. Of all de
partments of state government these
are the most Importtnt. They re
flect the warm hea.'t of our people.
throughout the community. With
the cooperation of the membership healing for the unfortunate and the
and the residents or the city, ne will anneten. 1 leave my share of con
wlihnut doubt be able to direct the trol over these Institutions with a
chamber to even greater achieve- feeling of pride. They are on a bus
ments during the future. (Continued on Pace ()
