BOALT PORTLAND, Nov. 1.--When the barons of England, with weapons in their hands, compelied King Jobn to | sign Magna Charta in 1315, they did not know that, more than eight centuries later, Dr, Richard Melvin Brumfield, convicted murderer of Dennis Russell, the substitute corpse, would claim for himself the rights which the? wrung from a monarch by force of arma, Dr. Brumfield wag yesterday sen tenced to be hanged on Friday, Jan wary 13. He was taken to the death cell at Salem, Dr, Brumfield, T learn, will appeal on the ground that hanging in Ore gon is unconstitutional—a brand new and amazing point of law I have talked with a number of Portland lawyers about the matter and they all agree that the point Brumfield’s attorneys Intend to raise is “interesting and debatable.” If you will brush up on your his tory, you will remember that the Romans came to England about 60 years before Christ and remained there 450 years. ‘They were isolated and far from Rome and Roman law, So they made laws for themsecives, in hap hasard fashion, to meet the exigen cles of local situations. The Danes came to England, and [the Saxons. The kings were not always Inclined to admit that any- “rights.” John usurped the throne while Richard the Lion Heart was away crusading, and under him nobody had ary rights at all MAGNA CHARTA BECAME LAW So the barons rebelled against John, and John signed the Magna Charta, which parliament confirmed, according to Coke, “more than 30 times.” bi Thus Magna Charta became Eng lsh law, which ts our law, and put an end to the feudal system insth tuted by William the Conqueror. But Magna Charta was for the barons, not the common people. It had largely to do with the rights of property, It did grant to the com mon people the right of trial by jury. To give the people a fuller meas- ure of justice and equality, the Bill of Rights was passed by parliament in the reign of James Il, following the revolution of 1689. The Bill of Rights gave to the people somewhat the same rights that Magna Charta gave to the barons. If you will read the constitution of Oregon, or, for that matter, any other state in the union, you will find this Bill of Rights in almost identical language—but with some additions. Now Says Dr. Brumfield stands upon his constitutional rights, guaranteed in the Bill of Rights, of which Magna Charta is the genesis, to continue to live. One of the additions to the Ore | gon constif{ition is No. 37, which says no person shall be hanged, No. 37 was added when the people by initiative amendment abolished capi tal punishment November 3, 1914 But in 1920, following the Clare mont Tavern murders, the pepple, sick of killings, voted to resume capital punishment. But it must be remembered that 100,960 voters voted to aboliah capt tal punishment, while 100,000 voted for its continuance. (I use round numbers.) Thus 960 persons put an end to hanging in Oregon. Again, in 1920, when the vote was very light, 66,000 voted to resume hanging, while 64,000 voted against. Brumfield'’s attorneys, I am = in- formed, will argue that the right to live, found in the Bill of Rights of 1689, was reaffirmed in Oregon when in 1914 the people voted to abolish hanging. They will argue that the Bill of Rights can be added to, but cannot be subtracted from. They will argue that a vast num Ber of voters voted to abolish hang ing and a small number for resump tion of hanging, and that their cit ent's fate should not depend on such an obvious caprice. The Brumfields of Indian: rich and numerous family. determined that the biot of oa lic execution shall not stain the fam lly escutcheon. Likewise, it ie possible the insur: ance companies are interested, as they lose $14,000 if Brumfield its hanged. MAY BE SAVED FROM GALLOWS And here is the most bizarre angle of this strangest of al) mur- der stories: Elvie D, Kirby, John I, Rathie and Marvin Hart slew Sheriff Ti Taylor at Pendieton under ciroum- stances with which you are famil jar. Hart died on the gallows. Rathie and Kirby are to be executed December 2—unless? My information is that Kirby and Rathie will be halted, perhaps on the gallows stairs, by habeas corpus. All the wealth of the Brumfields wil! be behind the proceedings. Tt ie a curious whim of chance that Rathie and Kirby, dereticts, pennilees and friendless, about whom the Brumfields care nothing, should find such champions. The attorneys for Brumfield will seek to show that, when the people of Oregon voted to abolish hanging, the sovereign will of the people was expressed and added to the Bill of »| Rights—and can't be taken out. If this contention ig sustained, it Properties, this sulphur}his limbs, his health and his repo-|wil! mean that hanging is unconst! What delicious tea I tutional in Oregon for all time.

Barnum, the great showman, is) credited with the statement that the public “likes to be fooled.” Henry King, president of King Bros, clothiers, ahd vice president | of the National Retail Clothiers’ as sociation, declares that the formula for successful business ts to “keep | the confidence of the people.” “You must obtain the confidence of the public, and then keep that confidence,” said King, tn explaining | how his firm met the business slump of the last year or #0, “For in stance, when prices atarted to come down, we followed the market and /]) This meant a|f! 4id not hold back, heavy loas, to be sure, but we had anticipated that and had set aside a/ reserve fund to take care of it, “At the end of our fiscal year, Feb- ruary 1, we simply wrote off our loxses and went ahead an if they never had been, Clothing prices to day are 40 per cent lower than they were @ year ago, 80 you can readily see that they really have gone down. | “An to the future im our line, I) am confident that the man who took losses when they came down and now goes ahead with courage will) come out all right, for business ts getting on & more sound basis, But 1 am sorry for-the man who didn’t do | that, He'll have a hard time.” 1 It may be that if Barnum were in the show business today, he'd revise his theories a Former Millionaire Is Now Caretaker NICE, France, Nov, 1-—M.
