Sine threatening 10 kill the deputy sheriff ai ha entered the cell and at tacking him with a cell chair, Brum fleld haa not recognised any of the officers or his attorneys. He denies having a wife and claim that Charles Cobb, a twice-convicted moonshiner, Is his father. Officers believe the dentist Is feigning another laps of memory to strengthen his case. Upon unlocking the county Jail tbi morning Deputy Sheriff Hopkins found Brumfleld in a terrible rage, pacing back and forth in hi cell and cursing violently. Threat to Kill Made. "If you unlock that door I'll kill you," Brumfleld cried as the officer started, to open the cell door, and then seized the heavy chair which stood by him. "AH right. Doc, you'll have the chance," replied Hopkins as he swung th door wide and stepped In side the cage. Brumfleld hurled the chair which the deputy sheriff barely side stepped and then the prisoner took a position if for a plunge at th officer. Hop-, kins, realizing hi danger, mad on f the quick draw by which he earned his title of "two-gun" and at th light of th weapon and the threat that if he mad another move he would be a ticad man, Brumfleld cowered back find leaned against the wall of the cell. Profaalty Hurled at Officer. Aa th dputy sheriff picked up the basket in which food Is carried to th prisoners, Brumfleld continued to hurl profane epithet at him. It appears that Charles Cobb, who is sged about 60 years, was arrested recently at Keedsport for th second time on a charge of moonshlnlng Ho was sentenced to the county Jail for three months at hard work. Cobb, upon the first day of his confinement,' shammed illness and yesterday when put out grubbing stumps complained all day about the abuse heaped upon him by the county officials. He did practically no work, but today said he was too 111 to go out to work again. Brumfleld says Cobb Is his father. Over and over again h reiterate the statement. "He is my father and yoe can't work hlm-so hard." As he was held at bay against the cell wall this morning with the depu ty's revolver covering him Brumfleld shouted profanely time and again that the county should not make the moon shiner work. "Tou know he can't do that kind of work," th prisoner said, 'and I'll not stand for It." Dentist Ilages Furiously. A th officer left him Brumfleld began to rage furiously up and down his cell. The other prisoner In th Jail with Mm were afraid and backed Into the small solitary cells and closed the doors, although he offered them no violence. His attorneys were called and went Into the Jail, but he refused to recog nize them. "Have you come to take my father out?" he demanded of Attorney Dexter Jtice, who, accompanied by hi law partner, A. N. Orcutt, appeared before the bars. "Where Is your father?" Attorney Hip asked Brumfleld. "He's in that cell there." Brumfleld replied. "They're working him too hard. He's sick." Attorneys Are Tussled. Aa he spoke he resumed his pacing and when the attorneys offered him the morning papers he seized them and hurled them to the floor curBlng and reviling the officers. After several attempt to get him to talk the attorneys left him frankly puzzled by hi attitude. "He appears to be Insane," Attorney Rica aald, following thla unsatisfac tory Interview. "v "Of course the officers will say that he Is shsmming but it appears to me that such a decision should be re served at least until he can he given an examination, and hi condition ac curately determined. He appears to be a mad as a March hare." When Mrs. Brumfleld appeared at the Jail a few minutes later the of ficers told the doctor that his wife was waiting to see him. VUlt Dealed Wife. "V "Why, I have no wife," he said in a surprised ton. The officers refused to allow th woman in th Jail and for th first time she wss denied an opportunity to speak to her husband. During the day th officer visited the cell frequently. Each t me they would find the prisoner nervously pacing the cell but he offered no fur ther violence and, in fact, refused ven to look up whenever they entered the cell. They gav him no examina tion as they are Inclined to take his actions as a clever bit of acting. "He is apparently in th same con dition as w found him In at Calgary, follow'ng his arrest there," said Sher iff Starmer. "I believe he was acting then and 1 believe he is acting now. He Is too consistent In bis actions and he can't convince me he I Insane. It may, however, help out his defense lomt and I think that Is his purpose." The officers lata thla afternoon moved Cobb, th moonshiner, from the cell in which he haa been confined with Brumfleld, to the upstairs por tion of th Jail and placed him in the cell first occupied by th doctor upon hit return from Calgary. Th dentist since noon exhibited no signs of his fit- of anger, except hia continued pacing of the cell. On one occasion, when the officers entered, he opped long enough to kick an empty coal ecuttl and send It clanging across th cement floor.

Newspapers of this city have not commented upon the announcement ty Leon Trotzky, soviet minister of war and marine, that Poland had presented an ultimatum to Russls. demsnd'ng that the terms of the peace treaty between the two nations be carried out. The Pravda and the Isvestia have printed digests of Trotsky's e-peech to the Moscow soviet in which he announced the receipt of the ultimatum. "We have no doubt," Trotxky Is quoted as saying, ''our diplomat s will act in such a manner that not enly among Polish workmen but among Polish bourgeoisie, there will be cre ated a tendency to preserve peace and normal econom'c and political rela tions." Trotxky emphasized th fact that the situation was critical, as breaks in diplomatic relations often lead to war, and expressed confidence that Russian workmen were ready to de fend the soviet government. "We must not shut our eyes to It," he continued, "but I really do not be lieve there I any prospect of war Just now, as Roumania will not put her existence at stake at a time when she has her hands full of trouble at home. As to Poland, although the situation if more alarming, one must not forget that Poland is totally ex hausted and that her mark has fallen in value until at present It is next to nothing." PARIS, Sept. 23-A dispatch to the Havas Agency from Warsaw dated Thursday, says the Polish foreign of fice has instructed the Polish charge d'affaires at Moscow to protest ener getically against the delay of the soviet government in restoring Polish property as provided for under the treaty of Riga.
