~ MEGOTHAVICH HELD FORHIGHER COURT Expectant Mother, 14, Tells of Attack During Night A 14.year-old expectant mother testified in police court today to an assault which she alleged was com- | mitted in the dead of night by John | 50, 137 Kelsey street, while he was a boarder in her | parents’ home on or about May 1. and, after the state's case was entire- ly before the court, Judge W. F.| Mangan, representing Megothavich, declared that her story was “‘abso- | lutely preposterous.” although he ad- mitted that there was sufficient evi- | dence before the court to justify | holding Megothavich for sup 3 court. Judge M. D. Saxe bound him | over to the September term in bonds | og $2,400, the charge being carnal | abuse of a female minor. | Megothavich was arrested _Vr‘s(m‘-‘ | Megothavich, of day by Sergeants Feeney and O'Mara after information had come to Miss Ruth E. Bristoll, woman probation officer, which she transmitted to De- | tective Sergeant McCue. Dr. D. W. O'Connell testified to the girl's con- dition, and in reply to Judge Man- gan he said he based his conclusion on the physical examination which he gave her and not on anything she told him. says He Overpowered Her The girl told her story in detail, | alleging that she had been over- powered by Megothavich while she | was sleeping and that when she threatened to tell her mother he | warned her that if she did he would tell “something on my mother. About two weeks prior to the alleg ed assault, he tried to force her to sit on his lap while her mother w out in the yard feeding chickens, she | said. She did not tell her mother, however, she admitted to Judge Mangan. The girl's father when Megothavich | to his home after the girl's condi- | tion became known, the former | boarder told him to spend $100 for | medical expens and if more | moncy were needed he would pro- vide it. The money represented a loan by Megothavich when the wit- ness hought a house some time ago. | A brother of the girl was present during the conversation and admit- ted that he threatened Megothavich | with bodily harm and would have | heaten him had his father not been present. Judge Mangan agreed that it was a very natural impulse under | e circumstances. Miss Bristoll testified that | girl's brother-in-law brought the | matter to her attention and she in- | terviewed the girl, who accused fhe | former boarder, and then the police | wre brought into it | Prosecuting Attorney Woods, ask- | ing for a bind over, referred to the | “straightforward story” told by the | girl, but Judge Mangan replied that the story actually was not in accord in essential details with the version | of the girl's father and brother a§ to thé interview with the former hoarder. However, he admitted that there was nothing for Judge Saxe to do but hold Megothavich for | superior court on a probable cause finding. “I have the highest regard for Dr. O'Connell, both as to his ability and his honesty, and if he says the girl is in a delicate condi- tion of two and a half months dura- tion, 1 believe it to be so, but I do not helieve this man is responsible and T am convinced that it did not happen in the manner she describ- ed,” he said. testified that was summoned the JOMEN FROWN ON IMMODEST DRESS Urge Gowns That at Least Cover Knees When Seated falem, Ore., July 17 (P—A re lution urging women to wear dress of sufficient length to cover their s when sitting, as well as when standing, was adopted last night by the Catholic Women's Society in its national convention here.
