(UP)—Held for mental examination, Mrs. Rose C. Mortensen, 42, Redding farmer’s wife, was willing todav to tell all the details of how she straugled to death her four month old son, Walter, according to po- lice. Only the fact she changed her mind prevented her killing her two other children, William, 5, and Leon, 3, and herself, author- ities reported her as saying. She explained she was worried about the health of her husband, Axel, a farm-gardener. Mrs. Mortensen went to the home of Mrs. Aaron Sturges, a neighbor, yesterday and told he “I have just killed the baby.' Mrs. Sturges called Axel Morten- sen, who hurried home to con- firm his wife's confession. 22 State police were called and the mother was arrested. Justice of the Peace Lloyd Blackman con- tinued the case until Nov. 5 and Mrs. Mortensén was taken to Fairfield county jail at Bridge- port.

Selection of personnel to serve with him is one of the first tasks expected to receive attention. Pending information of the per- manent group under the New York- er, intimations came from the cab- inet that a plan for employing more workers for shorter hours—in effect dividing the work and wages of those |now employed to cover many of the |idle—would be among the proposals to be urged upon the states and in- dustry.

Asks Bureau's Advice A week ago she applied for advice from the Hartford Better Business hureau as to value of stocks which #he said she bought a year ago from Hargrave, Stanley & Co. of New York, which had a Hartford office. 'he offices of this company here and in New York were closed. Today at the bureau, it was stated by an offi- cer that, had Miss Hotchkiss told the whole story. it might have been possible of the man or men who sold her stocks, which are now claimed to be worthless, She spoke of Lee Gas Corp., and lanother stock about the value of | which she was uncertain. The bureau offered to ascertain the facts about {these.

This would indicate a dispo- sition to believe there had been no increase in unemployment since spring, as the census set the April 1 total of those able t6 work and seek- g jobs at the same 2,500,000 The task, however, is further complicated by the summer-long drought, still unbroken in some sec- tions, which already has called for | emergency aid from the government, | many states and the rzilroads. The peak of need for aid by drought suf- ferers all along has been cxpected to come in the winter with exhaus- tion of depleted farm supplies and | funds.

GROUND GLASS IN FOOD SUSPECTED Police Scent Plot in Denver Deaths Denver Col.. Oct. 22 (P —Death of two family pets from the effects of cating ground glass strengthened the theory of police today that 10 year old Leona O'Loughlin, drowne:l in a city park lake, was the victim of a plot which had as its object cxtermination of the entirc family. The girl disappeared a week ago. Her bruised body, the stomach con- taining a quantity of ground glass, was found in the park like Friday. At the time the girl's body was re- covered, her father, Leo O'Loughlin, a city detective, was in a hospital recovering from the effects of eat- ing food in which ground glass had been placed. Police advanced the murder plot theory after they learned ground glass was found in the sugar at the {home of Dennis O'Loughlin, father of the detective, six weeks ago. The y elder O'Loughlin was host at a din- ner party attended by Mr. and Mrs.. Leo O'Loughlin, Leona, Douglas Millican, eight year old son of Mrs. O'Loughlin by a former marriage; Mrs. Marybelle Shannon, sister of , Mrs. O'Laughlin, and Frank O'Loughlin, brother of Leo. Investigation led to discovery of ground glass in the organs of the dead girl, in the stomach of her father and in two pets, a cat and a. dog. The cat died Wednesday, the day after the girl disappeared. The dog died Thursday, the same day tho detective was taken to a hospital serfously ill. The cat and dog had been fed scraps from the O'Lough- lin table. The girl's stepmother, Mrs. Leo O'Loughlin, held for investigation, has maintained she knew nothing of Leona's death. She was denied bond yesterday or writ of habeas corpus. Detective .oughlin quit his hos- pital bed yesierday to aid in solving the mystery of his daughter's slay- ing.

Her conviction was based largely on the testimony of a detective and an alleged admission of guilt to po-. " lice by her. She charged at the time that she had been “framed.” Justice McInerney dissented from the majority opinion on the grouna that to reverse the conviction was to say that the detective had per- -ured himself.
