She looked through the liv ing room window, hut saw no one; then she went through the kitchen outside, looked at the chickens, and picked up the mail from the front mail box. After that, she went Into the bedroom. "It was then that I saw Ralph on the bed for the first time. He was lying there with his head slightly to the right; blood on the bed beside him; blood on the nose and on the lips. I shook him several times and kept calling his name, but got no response. "I placed my finger on the hol low of his throat to see If I could feci some sign of life, but could feel none. It was then that I fainted and I don't know how long I was unconscious." To 8e Doctor In the remainder of her state ment, Victoria told how she made arrangements with her neigh bors, the Farnsworths, to take her and the haby Into Drain. As she looked "sick", the Karns worth asked If she were going to see a doctor, and she said yes. Victoria named the places she visited In Drain to cash checks and that she purchased a ticket to Eugene on the bus. At Eugene she realized it was "too lale to see a doctor," so she purchased an other ticket and continued her trip to Portland. "When I reached Portland, I lost that feeling of dread but was bothered by the fact that I could remember so little about the day's events. I knew I had cashed sev eral checks from the blank stubs but could not remember how many or where I had cashed them. I couldn t remember having seen Ralph after the afternoon of Oct. 27 and because of that I sent him a telegram explaining my sudden departure and asking him to call at tne noiei wnere 1 nad register ed as Victoria Mojonnler." She concluded her statement that she did not kill Ralph, "neither did I contribute In any way to his death. I know of no one who should have wanted to kill him, neither is It my opinion that he would have committed suicide."
