Aprfl JO The trial for V murder of Charles Brunk, which ended with his conviction and the Imposition of a sentence to eight years of simple , Imprisonment, was one of the moat seo - .atinnai trials held here for many years. Brunkewas a bank clerk, and ahnl and. killed the beautiful alsters Haara. aged 10 and 22 years, on October 17 of last . year... ; :': ' . According to the evidence, Brunke la ! a type of the German degenerate, cor-f runlet br decadent and pessimistic lit-,,. erature, leading to meglomanla and con tempt of life. The evidence of the ac- r cused. was remarkable. He said he was an enthusiastic student of Kant, Bcho- - penhauer, Splnosa, Nletssche and Ibsen. He regarded suicide as allowable, even desirable. He bad written three plays. . one called "The Eccentric." In which he delineated his own-cbaraeter ana career The prison doctors stated that Brunke was sane, but. as the crown prosecutor only demanded nine and a half years' .Imprisonment., he was apparently of the opinion that the prisoner's mind was unbalanced. Brunke thrilled a packed court by ' calmly describing his shooting of the sisters as they sat side by side In arm chairs at their Instigation and with their full consent. The father of tho gtrls, a merchant, gave his daughters excellent characters, as amiable, quiet. Innocent strls. It transpired inai in I mat i" mother of the girls had since committed suicide through grief. TROUBLES OF C. C. MAY NOT YET AT AN END ' Special Trispstch to The losrnal.t Upokane. Wash., April 10.
