Appeal to the state supreme court haB availed nothing for Dr. Richard M. Brumllcld, Boseburg dent:st, convlctd of murder in the first degree and sentenced to bang for the killing of Dennis Russell, Douglas county recluse. The f up re me court yesterday upheld in all respects the action of the lower court In Douglas county where George H. Bingham of Saiera was the presiding judge. The affirming opinion was writ ten by Justice McBride. Retrial Denied A retrial of the ease was sought in the appeal, the contentions being fiased tn) argument lor change of renue and errors by the lower court. Brumfield was originally sen tenced to be hanged at the state penitentiary on January 13 last. Execution was stayed by the ap peal to the supreme court. The slayer's attorneys now have 20 days in which to file a petition for a rehearing. The supreme court will adjourn for the fall vacation on August 1, so If the rehearing is asked it probably will be some time in September before the court passes on the motion. After final action by the supreme court it will be neces sary for Brumfield to be returned to Roseburg to be re-sentenced. Higher' Appeal Unlikely It is not probable that the case will be taken to the United States supreme court on appeal, though an effort might be made. .When Attorney Charles Garland of Port land attempted to get the Kerby and Rathle case Into the supreme court at Washington a Justice of he highest court (indicated to him that it is the policy of that court to leave cases of this char acter to the states. Justice UcBride's opinion point out that the bill of exceptions furnished by the" appellant's at torneys was rery meager and that the principal ground: relied upon In the appeal is the action of the lower court in " refusing defen dant's application for change of venue and the court's action in overruling a motion to quash the Indictment. Error Claim listed' ' ' The assignments of error werii. refusal of tbe court to quash the indictment: refusal to grant a change of venue; overruling de fendant's ' challenges of certain jurors; admission by the court of applications made . by Brumfield for life insurance in favor of his wife; giving of certain instruc tions to the Jury; unconstltutlon- aUty of the capital punishment law. In upholding the refusal of Judge Bingham to quash the in dictment the McBride opinion holds that it was legal for Joseph L. Hammersley of Portland to ex amine witnesses in the grand jury room, since he was regularly ap pointed as a deputy prosecutor in the case. '; Change Xot Warranted The motion for change of venue was denied first by Judge Hamil ton and then later by Judge Bing ham. The supreme court holds that change of venue would not have been warranted, and that any possible prejudice against the defendant caused .by news paper articles would baveeen aroused in other counties as well as In Douglas county. Upholding the lower court in allowing certain Jurors to sit over the objection of Bruraf ield's at torneys, the opinion remarks that "the disqualifications Of a Juror challenged on account of actual bias are not judged in this state by the rules of . common law." - "The question is not so much PRINCIPALSTIN BRUTALt;OS ANGELES MURDER.

Mrs. Clara Phillips, 23 yars old, and the wife of a wealthy Los Angeles oil - promoter, has been brought back to Los Angeles from Tucson, Arix.. charged with the murder of Mrs. Alberta Mead. ows, 20 years old and a widow. Mrs. Phillips invited Mrs. Mead ows for a ride through the coun try aud when a lonely road was reached outelte ithe city limits, opened her handkerchief and pro. duced a hammer; which she had previously bought in a five and ten cent store. In1 a fit of jeal ousy she accused the widow of stealing her , husband's affections and started to beat her over the head with the hammer. There was a struggle, but it did not last long. Mrs. Phillips returned to the waiting automobile and pro- ceeded to the city as though no thing had happened. whether the prospective juror has read or heard at second hand the purported facts in the case, and upon these has formed an; opin ion," says the - supreme court. but rather whether in the opin ion of the trial court he is capa ble of disregarding such an opin ion and trying the case fairly and impartially upon the evidence ad duced in court Take a case such as the Guiteau or the Czolgoss murder and try to secure a jury whose members : should go Into the jury box with their 'minds as blank as a sheet, of paper in re lation to the fact, and the result would be a panel composed of men whose minds would be equal ly blank In all respects." Insurance Phase Discussed Objection: to admission of the life insurance testimony is held untenable. Relative to this evi dence the opinion says: "It Is not necessary that the evidence as to motive shall be conclusive, but it Is a circumstance with all the other facts In the case and to be given such weight as in the judg ment of the Jury it is entitled to." ! Concerning instructions given by Judge Bingham to the jury la lieu of instructions that Brum- field's attorneys asked that he give, the supreme court says of the former: Capital Punishment Upheld "This covers all phases of the question of insanity as a defense and of the evidence necessary to establish it. It leaves the whole matter to the Jury upon all the evidence, without selecting, as the request does,; particular items of the evidence; and, directing the jury to consider them, a method always Objectionable and some times erroneous.! The instruction upon this phase of the case taken as a whole is admirable, and was quite as favorable-to the defend ant as the law warrants." Relative to the capital punish ment law, . the opinion mentions that its constitutionality has been upheld In the case of the state against Rathie. ' Brumfield was indicted August 31, 1921, and the crime was com mitted July 13,; 1921.

Body of Accident Victim Is Unclaimed at Morgue -. i- The body of the man who died early Monday morning following an auto accident on the Pacific highway still lies in the Marlon county morgue, unidentified and unclaimed. Coroner Rigdon is making every effort to establish identification of the man, who is about 65 years of age, but so far his ef forts have belen futile. There was nothing, other than a watch', in the man's possession at the time he was struck. He suffered a fracture at the base of the brain and never re covered consciousness after be ing hit. ; Mr. Broke I can't raise $5; That's all! there is to it!
