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

BRUMFIELD CASE
Oontioa4 From Facs One)
- It was on a display counter in Burch
ard's j Square store, one- of Roseburg's'
leading mercantile establishments.- About
4 .o'clock in the afternoon, Dr., Brum
fieid entered tha, store and strolled up
td( the counter..' i -
"That's a nice looking skirt," be said
to Mrs. Ik R. Burchard.. wife of the pro
prietor. "How .much la HT -.
She told him. i ' . '
."But," she added, nrs too small for
your wife." They know aiaes in Rose-
burp, s, :'. -v :- " - -
"Yes." said Brumfieid; I guess it la
He lingered about a few minutes look
ing-at othr things; then went out.
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 ,

Dr. Brumfieid stepped In. He smiled at
the slender brunette and she smiled back.

Mrs. Burchard turned back to the shop
per. . 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

spectively, they assume the skirt as
demonstrating : . . . : V
1. That a woman bad planned to ac

of a' tafniEar type ofaexual bberation

CONFESSION EXPECTED 5
Before bis collapse, the physician gave
a brief and imperfect outline of the man
ner to which he managed. to evade the
authorities after his flight from Rose
burg and to reach comparative aafety In
Canada. He revealed that he spent sev
eral hours in Portland, and crossed the
line at Vancouver. -

stranae mis-step which led to his arrest
Friday on a farm 30 miles south of here
where he was working as a laborer.
"I'll tell all about it when I get to

From hia condition, however.. It was
considered possible that he might break
down and confess before he leaves

was a letter to Seattle asking the for

SMALL'S SECRETARY WAS - ' -
ARRESTED AS KID X APIS
Oregon's interest la the mysterious
Small case was again aroused Saturday
night by the report of the finding of the
Canadian theatrical magnate.
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. '
