THURSDAY, OCTOB BABY FALLS OFF BRIDGE, DROWNS! Mother Is Held for Investi- gation While Portland Po- lice Probe Tragedy PORTLAND, Oct. 6.—City grap plers today found the body of little Myrtle Elizabeth, 18-month-old baby dropped by her mother, Mrs. Joseph Larkin, 21, into the mette river last might from the Morrison st Dridge, The strong tide bh bedy up stream Last night Mrs. Larkin told the Police that she had placed the child on the railing while she fixed its mnet, and that she had insuff! cient strength to hold her when she started to stip from her grasp. A bystander, Conrad Troitiline, saw the little bundle drop to the water and struggle a moment. He failed to effect a rescue. Basing their belief upon Troitline'’s @escription of this, one of life's trage dies, police declared today that Mrs. Larkin probably threw the child into | the river with the intention of jump- ing in after it. Troitline’s presence Prevented her, police think. At police headquarters Mrs, Lark: | in and her husband told a story of | hardship, of little money and of sick ness. Larkin said that his wife had been M for some weeks She was a tapable wife and mother at times, he said, but on some occasions she would have nothing to do with either himself or the child, Larkin was sent to the coun- | ty hospital early today to be placed} under observation, BRUMFIELD IS AWAITING JURY Wife Is Standing Loyally by Her Husband ROSEBURG, Ore., Oct. ¢.—Preju- dice in favor of or against Dg. Rich- ard M. Brumfield, on trial for first degree murder here, the necessity on the part of the prosecution to use a vast accumulation of circumstantial evidence to prove Brumfield guilty of the murder of Dennis Russell on the night of July 33, and the avowed tn- tention of the sgate to seek the death oR 6, ad carried the Penalty for the accused, promised to obstruct further selection of jurors when the trial continued at 10 o'clock Seven veniremen had been tenta- tively selected at the close of yester- @ay’s first season, but tt was not un- between attorneys that even that many were insecurely seated. Yexterday's staston tilled many rumors that had been the food and érink, almost, of courthouse hangers. on and murder fans flocked here for the trial. Brumfield did not hobble into court with a brush of beard obscuring his features, but he did come in neatly shaven, neatly dressed in a blue suit, and sartorially garbed in a manner befitting the position he held prior to the alleged murder of Russell, as the beau brummel of Roseburg. Mrs. Brumfield’s smiling loyalty went far toward clearing the alr for the accused. In spite of the long strain she has been under during the time the law has relentlessly pursued and accused her mate, yesterday she held her head high all thru the weary wrangling of attorneys, visibly cheer- ing Brumfield himself and affording him a mute but powerful witness. Brumfield watched every little de- tall of the court proceedings with attention. His peculiar opaque black eyes foamed here and there thruout the morning. The court room filled with attorneys and spectators; bis soldierly figure, erect and unbend- and his laugh ringing when some jumorous incident enlivened the dull Toutine of the jury selection, would have made him a marked man even had he not already been marked as the central figure of a what promises to be a trial replete with sensation.
