CHARGE BEING PLACED
 UPON DENTIST
Wrecked and Burned Auto, and Headless Body Proves
 Mystery Crime.

PORTLAND, Ore, July 18.-More with the wreck and burning of Dr. R. M Brumfield's automobile near Roseburg, Ore, last Thursday, and the finding of a headless body be- meath the machine.
 Today photographs of Brumfield were received here and the employees of a garage identify a man who stopped here late Thursday night gor gasoline as Brumfield.
 When the wrecked and burned car was found in the ravine near Rose burg, Mrs. Brumfield identified the burned headless body as that of her husband.
 The authorities. however. did not agree with her and claim the body is that of Dennis Russell, laborer, who has disappeared.
 An autopsy revealed two bullet wounds in the back of the body.
 Fingerprint experts are now work ing up a murder case against the doctor, dentist, who is known to have been in financial straits and whose $25,000 insurance would straighten up everything and leave a tidy sum for the wife.
 Mrs Brumfield still adheres to her original identification that the body is that of her husband. Notwith- standing the work and investigation of the authorities, Mrs. Brumfield is conducting an independent investi- gation.
 The authorities believe Brumfield spirited Russell away in the car, killed him and then set the auto afire, placing the. body under the car, where it was badly burned.
 It is believed by the authorities that Brumfield escaped, after com hitting the crime, and will later be joined somewhere by his wife after the insurance money has been col lected.
