MOTHER HERE FOR
BODY OF HER DEAD
Mrs. Dombrower Arranges for
Cremation of Body of
Murdered Woman.
SHORT TALK.WITH SLAYER
Koselair Asks to See Mother of Vic
tim, but Their Conversation Avails
Little Prisoner Said to
Be Breaking Down.
HILLSBORO. Or.. May M. 3peclal.
Mrs. Rosalia Uombrower. of Los Anfreles.
arrived here today to claim the body o'
her 33-year-old daughter. Mrs. John Tt.
Roaelair. who was so brutally murder.-d
By her husband last Saturday mor-.iing.
Mrs. Dombrower viewed the body In the
undertaking parlors and then visited the
Sheriff's office. When the prisoner was
notified she was In the building-, he asked
to see her. The woman saw Koselalr in
the Jail corridor, but had no conversation
with the prisoner, other than to ask him
hy he murdered the girl.
Roselalr lost his normal composure, and
mumbled something about Luztta get
ting her dander up." Mrs. Dombrower
then left the Jail wltnout any further
questioning of the prisoner. She is a
large and rather prepossessing woman.
She lives in a suburb of Los Angeles.
When questioned by a newspaper rep
resentative, Mrs. Dombrower refused ab
solutely to be quoted. While in liills
fcoro, Mrs. Dombrower was a guest at the
home of e-Sheriff John W. fcewell. She
came here with Mrs. R. K. Simpson, who
had Just returned from a visit to Cali
fornia, and who met the mother on the
train.
Marie Pearson, daughter by Roselair's
first wife, was here today, and while
talking to an Oregonlan representative
said that she did not come to Hillstx.ro
out of sympathy for her father, as she
had none for him. but that she was here
to see If Roselair in any way desired
to make atonement for his crime. She
rill ask her father to allow his property,
now that he has no further use for it. to
a-o toward the support of her half-brothers
and sisters, who are In the East, un
der care of her step-mother, now divorced
from Roselair.
Ko date has been set for the arraign
ment of Roselair. but it Is thought that
THstrlct Attorney Tongue proposes to try
the ease at the July term of court, rather
than wait until the November term.
Roselair has turned down two offers
from attorneys to defend him, one from
John A. Jeffries, of Portland, and an
other from Attorney M.-Oann. also of
Portland. MrTann came here at the so
licitation of Mrs. Isabella Potter, of VS
Morrison street, the woman for whojn
Miss Dombrower -worked before her mar
riage to Roselair.
It Is believed by the authorities here
that Roselair. who is losing his custom
ary composure, will yet break down and
make a full confession of the crime and
admit that the murder was premeditated.
Mrs. Dombrower' arranged tbnight to
have the remains of her daughter shipped
to Portland tomorrow for cremation.
