SUICIDE ATTEMPT
RESULTS FATALLY
w. J. Brumley Dies Today
After Drinking Formal
dehyde, Tuesday.

Walter J. Brumley who attempted
suicide about midnight Tuesday by
drinking a half filled jelly glass OF
following a domestic
dispute, died Saturday morning about
9 o'clock at the home of his parents
Joseph S. Brumley and wife, 521 North
D street, from the effects OF the drug.
His suffering must have been almost
uncomfortable. The tendency OF the
drug is to harden the organs. Though
it is prescribed in the treatment OF
certain ailments, the quantity which
was taken by Brumley was consider
ed almost necessarily fatal from the
first. Formaldehyde is used largely
by undertakers in embalmlng the
body, thus making decomposition slow
er.
The funeral will be held Monda,
afternoon at O'Clock at the F1ftf

TOMATO CROP BIG

The work of gathering the 1911 to-
mato crop is just about completed.
There are a number of Wayne county
farmers who raised tomatoes this year
and they are well pleased with the
results, Notwithstanding the fact that
the tomatoes were planted late the
crop was very good. 1t is said that
few OF the Wayne county farmers have
realized from $50 to $50 an acre on the
crop. The probabilities are that a
much larger acreage will be planted
next year.

LOS ANGELES. Nov. 1.-THE pom
derous wheels of justice that have
been grinding in the case OF the people
OF California against James Barnabas
Mcnamara, alleged murderer. have
been halted and turned back half a
revolution. Somewhere in the laws

has slipped and stopped the cogs
Captain John D. Fredericks. with the
hammer of slow spoken, carefully
framed questions tried to knock it
out; Clarence Darrow with cross-ex-
animation tried to pry it from it's OBJ

Well, with the tongue of judicial in
quiry tried to lift it forth. But today
it is still in the machine and the pro

the machine stands idle until Monday
| When court resumes Monday after
Saturday holiday the work will be

blocked proceedings before and spoil

cial hoodoo in the Mcnamara case.
Cause For Trouble.
1t is now personified in the person
of A. Gribbling of Whittier a walnu
grower, who was safely passed fo1
cause by both sides and sat with thu
two others who waited the peremptor!
challenges to be used against them
He has been brought back for furthe
examination. 1t was due to a slip b.
the district attorney. In his prelimi
nary examination Gribbling had hint
ed that he objected to circumstantia
evidence in capital case. When tn
aged talesman was examined by tn
attorneys on both sides the point wa
overlooked and after he had bee
passed Fredericks thought about
and late yesterday got permissio
from the court. after the defense OF
jected strenuously to re-examinatiO
on this point. And then the troubl
started.
Gribbling was at first perfectly sur
in his own mind that he could nc

GLIDING MACHINE
IS BADLY WRECKED
But Walter Davis, Its Navi

Jumping Out.

In a trial flight Friday afternoon at
the driving park east of the city, Wal

head of the Davis Carriage company,
narrowly escaped injury when the
gliding planes were rendered hors de
combat by gust of wind which
struck the machine and sent it skim

the fence and was completely wreck

Although the flight was thrilling, it
proved to young Davis and George
Bayer, who rode motorcycle to which
was attached a rope connecting with
the biplane gliders, thus furnishing
the motive power of the aircraft, that

vided for an adjustable rudder and a

Bayer started his motorcycle and ev

quired to make this short flight the
wind had come from one direction
Suddenly, however, from anOtner oi
rectior came gust which sent the ma
chine tumbling toward mother earth
With the stationary rudder there was
no way to counteract the influence o
the wind.
Before the machine went crashing
into the fence Davis dropped to thu
ground, alighting safely. He had be

He expressed his pleasure in meet
ing with the bankers here and paid q
glowing tribute to them in their loyalty
to him in the administration OF the
affairs Of the State Association, He
expressed the hope that many of those
present last night would attend the
annual State meeting to be held at
White Sulphur Springs on July II
and IL.
Hon. Sam v. Woods, of Philippi, was
the next speaker introduced. He paid
a compliment to the bankers in which
he said, that they were the men who
determined. who should obtain money
from their institution and who should
not. He advised them in every In
stance where they could to encourage
good legitimate business concerns to
make their industrial homes within
the borders of this State. He recount
ed the great natural resources to be
found in West Virginia waiting the
hand of development to make the com
monwealth rise to that plain Of indus
trial and commercial influence that
she should occupy. The great agri'
cultural interests of the State need
to be developed, the great mineral
wealth has scarcely been touched, res
eryolrs Of oil are yet waiting for the
bit to penetrate the hills SO that 1t
may gush forth; great supplies OF gas
are yet stored in the wales. These and
other natural resources the develop
ment of which. invite capital to assist,
Here the banker can do this commun'
ity, his section of the State and the
entire commonwealth good by encour'
aging outsiders to aid in converting
these materials into products of COM
merclal value. Ours is a State that
has a greater area than New Jersey,
aryand, Connecticut, Delaware and
Rhode Island combined. A great com
mogwealth that can be made greater
by development and in this the banker
can take a most prominent part.
He characterized money as the life
of commercial interests the CONNER
cial blood. Before the war and many
years after the civil strife ours was a
borrowing nation. But now the debt
has almost been wiped out and ours Is
nation that negotiates loans to other
powers in need OF financial aid. Dur
ing the Civil war many thousands in
the most vigorous menin the country
were cut down. We are getting over
