ASK ItMTPOXKMKXT OF CASE A motion has been filed In the circuit court which asks the postponement of the trial of John S. Connolly of Keedsport. The case is that of the state vs. Connolly, which has been under dlscusston for some time. The reasons for postponement given in the defendant's mo tion are that his attorney and chief counsel, C. P.

B WIELD CASE 1 In the list of Insurance policies paid In Oregon during 1922, compiled and published by the Insurance News, appears the name of Dr. Richard Melvin Brumfield. It is an interesting element in the list and the notation gives the amount paid to the beneficiary, Mrs. K. Melvin Krumfleld. as $20,000. Dr. Krumfleld committed suicide in the state penitentiary a few days before he was to have been hanged for the murder of Dennis Russell. His sui cide came lust after the year had ex pired In which it would have been impossible for his widow to recover from the Insurance company on a case of suicide. It will be remembered that Brura fleld's last request to Ivls widow was that she take the boys and "gyp sy" through the country. Word has been received here that since Mrs. Brumfield's marriage to Howard Mo sena, she has placed one of the boys in an eastern orphanage. The boy has since been "farmed out" to a family, who have signified their in tention of adopting him. It is not known what has become of the other two lads. It 1b reported that Mrs. Moiena is now residing in St. Louis. COTTAGE GROVE IT! EUGENE. Ore.. Oct. 29.
