He testi fied ' that It was the function "of his company to manufacture certain lines-of telephone equipment which it "sold to the associated companies as well as non ((Bsoclated companies and, In addition, acted as purchasing agent In the, open market for articles that It floes not manufacture. The advantages, accru ing to the associated company from such a relation is that it obtained its equip ment at as low if not lower price than if It acted Independently, "he said. aTBXISHES SUPPLIES between associated companies and the American Telephone and - Telegraph company, the parent organization of the Sell system, the latter lurnlahes, jo the associated companies' the receivers, transmitters and induction coils. These instruments are manufactured for the parent company by the Western Elec tric company, according , to Leggett. at 4 figure 20 per cent above the manufac turing cost. Leggett was unable to give the exact cost of the instruments at present, but said that he would as certain the. amount and supply it to the public service commission.

The next morning the morning of the day that Brumfieid was to end his career as reputable professional man ana Be come a hunted fugitive from the; gallows a brunette woman, of ratner Bienaer figure, entered the Burchard store and asked to look at the same skirt , UHK50W2? nr CITY j -' .

"Ye" slid the slender stranger, "that will do, Tou can wrap It up, if , you will, rn take it with me." f She paid for the skirt and disap peared. Mystery enough, you would say, for one pink silk skirt. But it was only the beginning of the crucial part which this particular garment was to play in the mystery.-. i . SHIPS IT TO SEATTLE; - Observe how it figured in subsequent eveiitsj - In the rear of the store Dr. Brumfieid procured he packing dox he wanted. What he - did 'during the sub sequent three or four hours is not known. But, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, he appeared at the ticket . window ot the Myrtle Creek railway station' and - said he wished to express a box to Banff. Canada. The agent explained to him that : It would -be impossible to express the box straight .vthrough.- Dr. Brumfieid then said: ''- ' s " '. -.r U. i "Well, I'U send it to Seattle!? " : 1 ' He-' did so, addressing it to Norman Whitney.. -, ?-$ ;.,- , .' - ; ;.'. The pink skirt could have told why he chose this' name, too. i It was- on the Inside of the over; of the. packing box, and Norman Whitney is a brother-in-law of Mrs. Burchard. Dr. Brumfieid had imply seen the 'name,. on -tha box and naa enown n s'un alias ne was 10 bear . throughout his wanderings. ' ; HOWI THAT'S QUESTION How. you may ask. had the pink skirt passed so Quickly from the possession of the brunette stranger to Dr. Brumfieid T How, ask the? authorities of Douglas county? The skirt, in the company of other feminine garments -which are listed else where, went to 'Seattle. Dr. Brumfieid went, by devious ways, to Canada. Then came the discovery that the body dressed in the dentist's clothing beneath the dentist's overturned machine was not that of Brumfieid but that of Dennis Russell, the hermit -laborer. Mrs. -.Bar- chard, told of. the- brunette woman and the pink skirt and the packing box. The express agent told of the box that had been shipped to Seattle. He could re member only the last letter of the town in Canada, so the authorities were robbed ot that due. ' BOX OPEXED THERE'S 8KIHT ! The authorities -wrote to the eXoresa Company IriT Seattle, andthe' box was returned- to Roseburg.: It was opened, and revealed its strange assortment of feminine 'garb and the pink silk skirt. The news 'of the" find was .published widely. The speculation was that Dr. Brumfieid had shipped the box merely to throw pursuers from' : the scent. . But, more on aa -off chance than anything else the Roseburg authorities directed the expreea office -at Seattle to notify them -i anything -mora was heard of the addressee. - , ! , ; i. This was on August J. By this time Brumfieid was in Banff. Canada, dressed as a laborer, and safely through the cor don which had been thrown out for him at the border. Perhaps the pink silk skirt knows why he chose this time, with escape practi cally certain, to write the express agent at Seattle to forward the box to Banff. LIKE GIFT PROM AkTK'-t The local authorities donT know, "and can't figure it out-. They merely regard It as a gift from heavtn. The one thing apparent la' that Brumfieid, the osten sible laborer, suddenly, felt an over whelming need for a packing box con talnlng a lot of miscellaneous woman's wear a packing box : which had been traced and whose discovery had been heralded through the newspaper a pack ing box .which the veriest neophyte in crime could have told him was certain to aupjely tha Reaebarg, authorities with certala knowledge of his whereabouta The Seattle authorities notifed Rose burg. After that-it was easy. From Banff, Brumfieid bad gone straight' to Calgary, still using the betraying "alias "Norman Whitney." At Calgary, he bad boldly applied -for -Work-at the city labor bureau, and had procured It on a farm u mites souin ex toe vanaaian city. ASKED 1EADI3TO QUESTION It was on the farm that he was ar rested Friday by Canadian officers. He confessed his identity, and was taken to Calgary, where he is still in Jail while Roseburg officers are hurrying to bring Jura . Oacic to tills City. . To show what a field of 'speculation she bit of feminine garb opens up, it has aireaoy been uie center of airee theories. each of which, so far. has proven fal lacious In some essential detail. Re spectively, they assume the skirt as demonstrating : . . . : V 1. That a woman bad planned to ac company Dr. Brumfieid In. hia .flight. . , 2. -That -Dr. Bmnfle- is the victim of a' tafniEar type ofaexual bberation which -manifests itself by a mania for woman's gai-bv 4 - ' S.

The spotlight ot interest in the case shifted to Oregon late last winter when John Doughty, former secretary and confidential agent for the theatre mag nate. was arrested at Oregon City while working . under the alias of Charles Cooper in the Hawley paper mills. A reward of $15,000 was offered, for the capture of Doughty, who was di rectly charged with the embezzlement of $100,000 In Canadian Victory bonds. It was -thought that Doughtys capture would shed some light on the disappear ance of Small, but this did not prove to be the case. Doughty was sentenced to prison on the embezzlement charge, the bonds being found in his former home at Toronto.
