PERFECT CRIME

His Arrest.
BOASTS ARE FUTILE
,,ict.d of Killing Rancher, Then
W. Tx,banoing Identity With Victim,
doctor BrumfeId May Be
Sentenced to Hang.

p,sohurg. Ore.-Dr. R. NJ. Brumfeld
boon found guilty of murder in the
ns. deqrpe in connection with the
n-s 1s.h of Dennis Russell. In Oregon the
.noItv for first degree murder is death
hanging. The verdict brought to
close one Of the strangest murder
sos in the West. Brumfield, dentist,
,-oun 70 have been an avid reader Of
I,rid crime and detective tales, is al
,.rod 70 have bOasted that he could
commit a perfect" crime, leaving no
clews.
Rut having now been found guilty,
Rumfeld undoubtedly realizes the fall
l,cy Of his belief in his criminal abil-
nv He did leave clews, and they
brougbt about his arrest and convic-
doD. Brumfeld disappeared the night
t July 13, when Russell was mur-
lered. He was captured August Il,
while working ON a ranch near CAL
cary. Canada, under the assumed
name or Norman w HlIney.
Lingerie Led 10 Arrest.
II was the ROSeburg dentists strange
desire to obtain possession of box Of
wOmen's lingerie which led to his ar
rest. 1t had been learned Brumfield
shipped the dainty garments to Seattle
On the afternoon preceding the muir
der, addressing the parcel to Mrs. Nor
nan Whitney"
The authorities had no idea Brum-
field himself would venture to recover
the box, but hoped 1t might eventually
put them on his trail but while safely
hidden on the Canadian ranch, with
the chances all in his favor of being
able to maintain his new identity in
definitely, Brumfield betrayed himself
by writing to the Seattle express Office
for the parcel of underwear.
The prosecution showed that Doc
tor Brumfield visited the cabin of Den

near ROseburg. piled Russell with
lugged liquor, took him out for a
ride in his roadster, beat in the
skull Of the rancher and then shot him
twice in the back to make sure he
was dead. 1t further declared Brum-
feld exchanged clothes with the dead
|man and ran his car over an embank-

that Doctor Brumf1eld had been killed

dicial nose in City court as evidence
in a liqcor case. The policeman had
mopped up with the towel the con-

saloon and was fearful the odor would

Many Americans
Light Mentally

all of our movies, most Of our novels
and most of our stage plays are fairy
tales in effect. That is, they all foster
lively illusions about life, rather than
study the truth of it. The American
public is nearly always antagonized
by any work OF art which sets forth
the truth about life
The Formula Used.
"Why write about such ugly things
when there are so many pleasant
things to write about" is the formula
always used.
'Tell me a nice pretty story, daddy"
is what the same individual was say
ing at the age of ten. How much has
his point of view changed? asks the
psychologist.
Do other nations differ from us in
this respect? 1t is probable that In all
parts of the world most men and wom-
en- never grow up, but in the highly
civilized European nations there prob
ably is a larger percentage of real
adults, as indicated by the much larger
number of persons who show a mature
taste in literature, drama, art and
music, and have a mature outlook on
life
What then is the cause of our fail
ure to bring ourselves to a real ma
turity? Mr.. Edison has the support Of
most of the experts when he lays the
chief blame on education. Our educa-
tion teaches the child q lot of rigid
beliefs instead of teaching him to
think. But above all it bores him. Lit
erature, science. history-the things
which help any individual to understand
and appreciate life-are made mex
pressibly dull for the youngster. He
loses all interest in them.
'The moment school is not play it is
an injury" says Mr.. Edison. 81 don't
know quite the age at which a child's
mind atrophies, but it is somewhere
between the ages Of eleven and four
teen."
Here Mr.. Edison bears out the psy-
choanalysts to perfection. The child's
intellectual development is arrested by
boredom somewhere between eleven
and fourteen, and along most lines 1t
never advances thereafter. A little
later the child becomes interested in
making money and that remains the
