PHOTO GENIUS
SAVED FROM
PRISON Term
State Man, Unbalanced by
Injury to Brain, Made
Perfect Money.
OPERATION PERFORMED
Counterfeiter Who Did Not
Pass Bills, Is Granted
5-Year Probation.
BY CHARLES E. CARLL

Humanity and justice today
clasped hands to give Harold Brum-
field, 40, of Columbus, charged in
federal court with counterfeiting,
the chance Of his life.
Instead of spending years behind
prison walls, Brumfield, a genius in
photography, will have the oppor-
tunity to spend the next five years
with his family under guidance Of a
probation officer and reputable citi-
zens of Bartholomew county. Per-
haps he will get the opportunity
to develop his ability.
His trial by jury was halted when
Judge Robert G. BaltZell and at
torneys agreed he should have the
chance. He was given suspended
sentence of a year and day and
the probation proposition in an ef-
fort to cure the brain injury that
sent his genius into wrong paths.
Hurt Five Years Ago
Evidence showed that after being
hurt in threshing machine acci-
dent five years ago, Brumfield, who
had been experimenting in photo
graphy began making counterfeit
bills. His work, adjudged nearly
perfect by secret service agents, did
not satisfy him and he frankly ad-
mitted it.
Brumfield never placed the bills
in circulation, but buried them near

ingly to perfect the bills and built
up an elaborate plant for the work.
Physicians testified Brumfield did
not know right from wrong and was
unbalanced mentally. They told OF
a serious brain operation performed
on him while he awaited trial and
of the marked improvement that
resulted.
Showed Love Afterward
They said he did not manifest
love for his family until after his
operation. Then he became devoted
to his wife and son and began to
show traces of judgment. never be-
fore seen.
Ira Holmes, defense attorney,
promised Baltzell, government at
torneys and jurors that he would
do all in his power to aid Brum-
field in the future.
"Under no consideration will I
scnd this mon to the penitentiary,
Baltzen said. ''Had he passed the
bills, the situation would have been
different. If he is cured in less than
five years, then the court will SuS-
pend the probation period"
Brumf1elds first gleam of the fu-
ture is his birthday next month.
He will spend it at home and not
in the Leavenworth penitentiary.
After that, he hopes some one
will give him the chance to do pho
tographic work and engraving.
He will have another operation
soon, which, physicians said, may
restore full possession Of his men

PROPOSED ON
WORKING AGE
Modification of Child Labor
Laws Is Advocated by
WiSehart.
GIVEN BACKING OF CLUB
State Chief Would Drop
Bars on Statutes OF
Employment.
GIVEN BACKING OF CLUB

Roy P. Wisehart, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, today
advocated modification of the In
diana child labor laws to make it
easy for industry to employ boys
and girls between the ages Of is
and 18 years.
He took this stand in supporting
similar proposals advocated by
George K. Wells, state supervisor of
industrial education in Wisehart's
department.
The state superintendent would
remove entirely the clause in Sec
ton % of the present statute,
which, after enumerating certain
prohibited occupations for minors,
says also they may not be employed
"in any other occupation dangerous
to life or limb"
Wisehart would replace this gen.
eral phrase by a specific listing Of
occupations in the dangerous
class
Schools Can Not Progress"
"This law now is so broad that
manufacturers are afraid to employ
minors between 16 and 18 for fear
that if injured they vii be consid-
cred illegally employed" the state
superintendent explained.
Consequently our part time
schools can not progress as I should
like to see them for the pupils can
not find jobs. Industry is afraid to
employ them"
Another modification of the child
labor law advocated by Wisehart is
to permit city superintendentS to
recommend to the state industrial
board that certain girls may be en-
ployed after Z p. m. The industrial
board then would give permits in
these individual cases.
Cites Union City Experience
Wisehart cited as an example his
experience while superintendent of
the Union City schools. He said
that one of his high school girls,
age IT, was earning her way through
school by working at a telephone
switchboard between 7 and 9 p. m.
When her age was discovered by
her employer she was discharged,
quit school and walked the streets,
he said.
Support for the WiSehart- Wells
ideas was voted recently by the
efofo ooyvavofiO,, nf n.,cinocc ond
Professional Women. nHies Glen
Anderson, assistant to Wells, is past
president Of the indianapolis
branch of the organization.
Manufacturers also are said to
support these changes, but labor
may oppose them on the ground
that it is no time to increase child
labor when adults cannot find en-
ployment, it was said.

With victories already scored
over hunger and many wearily-
tramped miles, love reared pert
head in Marion county Jail today,
and prepared to sweep aside other
thorns from the orange blossom
trail
Richard Day, II, and Rachel
GaddiS, 18, both Of Edinburg,
poohed poverty and a bench war
rant for Richards return to Edin-
burg, snuggled in each others
arms, and contemplated long and
happy welded life.
Richards ideas recently have been
attuned perfectly with the poets
observations on young mans fan
cies in spring. For that matter,
Rachel yearned much along the
same lines. But RacheI's father,
perhaps having reached an unro-
mantle age, gave love its first bat
tie.
Beat Strategic Retreat
This barrier they surmounted
Tuesday by strategic retreat to
Richards parents farm home near
Morgantown.
Then Wednesday, while police
sought the pair, they tramped to-
wards Indianapolis, arriving here
early today.
Here they were to pawn ring
and a watch that Rachel wore, pro-
cure marriage license, and seek a
parson to bind them as one.
But around the corner of Troy
and Madison avenues early this
morning Rachel's uncle, Dave
Hedges of Edinburg, drove his auto,
and Spied the youngsters, strolling
along the road. A short chase
through a field, and Richard and
Rachel were prisoners.
Deputy sheriffs took them to
county Jail to await communication
with authorities at Edinburg, who
say Richard is under suspended
sentence there on petit larceny
charge, on which the bench warrant
was issued.

as that all they've got-a bench
warrant?" scoffed pretty little
Rachel.
We'll, we're going to get married,
anyway, and stick together, even in
death. I love him. It won't do them
any good to take me home"
Thus she solved that problem. But
there was another obstacle-money
Richard had So when they started
out, but he intruSted it to a sister
to place in a bank, and the trust
was misplaced, he alleged.
The ring and watch are yet un-
pawned.
Mamma Falls Literally
Suddenly unexpected mama fell

from the pockets of deputy sherihs
and newspaper men.

rejoined. 1--WE need a marriage

my sister.
"When I took the baby to Indi-
annapolis, I drove with Louis Reyn-
olds of Saunder, Ind.
"I made up my mind to leave the
baby with some one. We were both
hungry. He was half naked. We
didn't have enough to eat-it was
the only thing to do.
1T couldn't keep him. When we
got to Indianapolis my heart failed
me. We drove up to a stop light
and told Louis to turn back. I just
couldn't leave Bobby.
House Looked Cheerful
"Then we passed a house-it was
about at night. It looked cheer
full. It was all lighted up and I
could hear radio playing.
II told Louis to stop. He tried to
get me not to do it, but I got out
and ran back with Bobby in my
arms. In front Of the house, I laid
Bobby on the grass in his little
blanket. Then stopped and kissed
him. I ran to the car and Louis
drove me back to Bloomington. 1t

She declared she had seen but
one newspaper story about finding
of the child and said she cried when
she learned the baby had not been
found until the next morning and
that it had been raining during the
night.
Husband Denies knowledge
Bert Ball of Bloomington and
Mrs. Merle Stansfie1d, sister of Mrs.
Breedlove, were at the farm home
of Walter Rairdon when Mrs.
Breedlove and Reynolds left to
bring the child to Indianapolis, Mrs.
Breedlove declared. She said she
told her sister and Ball she was
going to leave the child with a sis
ter Of her former husband in Indi-
annapolis.
Reynolds, when arrested, declared
to Sheriff Winklef he believed Mrs.
Breedlove intended to leave the
child with relatives and that he be-
lieved she had run to the house
with it.
He denied knowing of her plan
to abandon the child.
His first words when found work.
ing at stone quarry were to Mrs.
Breedlove.
IT told you I'd get in Dutch over
that kid" he reproached her.
Mother Urged Confession
Mrs. Breedlove told officers her
sister later learned of the aban-
donment and that she told her
mother week ago. Her mother
urged her to confess, she declared.
However, when the sister and
mother sivited Sally at the jail to-
day, her mother declared she knew
nothing of the baby's abandonment
until Sally was arrested.
Sally is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dillon Decker of East Third
street, Bloomington. Another child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Breedlove, Vernon
Lee Breedlove, 3, is in custody of
Mrs. Decker by order of circuit
court at Bloomington. Breedlove
pays IS weekly for its support, but is
$45 in arrears in payments, his
divorced wife claims. He remarked
in February, 1929.
Reynolds told officers he had
known Mrs Breedlove only week
at the time the baby was brought
to Indianapolis in his car anc was
abandoned. It was the first time,
he claimed, he had ever taken Mrs.
Breedlove anywhere.
"I like her." he declared. I've
never found anything wrong about
her except for this baby case"
