dicine bottle occurred the night
of Nov. 11. Her statement, given

to Sgt. Harre)l lour, days later,
when he visited her at the Jail.
"On the afternoon of Oct. 27,
1 was feeling Indisposed.'' Sgt.
Harrell said he wa told by Vic
toria. "I alept from 3 p. m. to
5 p. m., at which time Ralph
and I discussed dinner and he
decided to have a few drinks In
stead, since I (lid not feel well.
"He had, during the course of
the day drunk a quantity of home
brew and whiskey, which he,
himself, had made and usually
kept on ha:id. Shortly after that,
he left the house and 1 saw the
car headed toward Elkton and
knew he was going over to visit
Walt Peterson, with whom he
drank frequently.
Gees to Sleep
"It was for that reason that I
made up a bed in the living room
as I disliked sleeping with him
when he was drunk. I went to
bed In the living room and short
ly after, went to sleep. I did
not hear or see Ralph come In.
"However, I did hear him talk
ing In the kitchen later that eve
ningand saying that he was go
ing to see it he could catch any
fish fro mthe creek. I don't know
to whom he was speaking as I
was too sleepy to be Interested.
Later that same night the baby
awoke me. I gave him his bottle,
which was In his crib."
The statement continued that
she had awakened in the night to
turn off the light which hung in

effects of the liquor. I returned
to bed and went back to sleep."
Victoria said she was awak
ened In the morning by what
she took to be a knock on the
door. 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."
Election Watched
In Pennsylvania
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-WP)
The outcome of a sccial Penn
sylvania election tomorrow may
go a long way toward shaping
campaign strategy for the 1950
congressional elections.
Kiom the outside, the battle
looks close between Mrs. Ethel
Coffey, Democrat, and John P.
Saylor, Republican, for the con
gressional post In the 2ith dis
trict. Mis. Coffey Is seeking to
succeed her war hero son. Rep.
Robert L. Coffey Jr., killed In a
plane crash last spring. Saylor
Is a Johnstown laweyr and war
veteran.
Personalities have almost been
swallowed up, however, In what
is regarded as a strategy battle
between the Republicans and
Democrats.
Kepuhlicans have seized on Pre
sident Truman's announced In
tention of taking a personal part
In the 1!)50 congressional strug
gle. In the closing weeks of the
campaign, they have been con
centrating their fire on the Pre
sident and on the democratic
congress.

Fivt Persons Drown
In Sea Over Weekend

an amphibious craft overturned
yesterday and dumped nine men
and women Into the ocean.

lost along the southern Oregon
coast near Coos Bay and Florence
Saturday.
Drowned In a dukw upset were

hour.
The dukw, christened the

launched only a week ago as
a tourist attraction, overturned
about a quarter-mile from shore.
One survivor, Joseph Schwab,
said heavy combers battered the
craft. One wave washed Unn
overboard. The others donned life
Jackets, and then another comber
dumped them all into the sea.
The surf was too rough to
launch a lifeboat. Coastguards
men from Astoria, thinking
Haussman and Fitzgerald might
be floating In their llfejackets,
flew over the area trying vainly
to locate the men.
The boat was one of three
operated hv Don Clearwater,
Portland. The skipper, Ray Rus
sell, Pacific City, was among
those to reach snore.
The Saturday drownings took
the lives of Harold W. Curry, 29,
Sutherlln, who was swept into
the surf near Florence while
fishing from rocks, and Lloyd
Mael, Empire, who disappeared
when an outboard motorboat cap
sized at the mouth of Coos Bay.
Sports fishermen rescued Maels
companion, Eugene Dareo, also
of Empire. He had clung to the
overturned boat.
