"I let the girl stay at my house, re lated Mr. Legal, because her brother had threatened to- take her away he had to take her away a corpse." The girl's story to the physicians who examined her for her sanity, and who dropped the routine sanity examina tion after they had talked to ber for two minutes, is as follows: Girl Tells of Trouble. "We had some trouble at home th other night and they said they could get along without me, so I said I go. I'm not sick, but they're trying to make me sick. They're doing this to stop me from getting married, "Well, I had trouble at home and left with a black eye. I was going to go back Sunday, but my eye was so black that I didn't want to and went to a neighbor's house. They came after me, but I wouldn't go, and men, Jim, my Dromer, called nt 'on the telephone and said if I would come everything would be all right. "Then my sister-in-law came In and began ordering me around, and my stepdad came in and said he would take me home with my hands and feet tied, if necessary, and then Jim said they would take me home if they bad to take me a corpse. Family Once Friendly. So I didn't go home. I thought that as Vere and I had planned for a year to get married, tnat we might as well get married now. And the family had always liked him and stood up for him until now. "They ordered him out of the house the other night during some trouble tnat he didn't have anything to do with and he even went out in the kitchen so as not to hear it. He's been more of brother to me than anything else. We've been with each other for two years, and everybody knew we Intended to get married. We were engaged a year ago. but I wanted to wait. until my little brother was out of school." She also . told the doctors that she had been a telephone operator until a nervous breakdown compelled her to give up this work. During her story the physicians told her she was a brave little girl. They were Dr. bandtord Whiting and Dr. Curtis Holcomb. The next chapter Is told by Harry Bulger. Multnomah County snerlal agent, who directed the sanity invest! gation. and to and from whose office the various members of the two fac tion rushed all afternoon, as scenes changed with kaleidoscope rapidity and centered about the girl in the Jail on the top floor. They ve all kissed and made up." he said, referring to the members of the girl a family. Girl Decidea Go Home. "After I released her she rushed out f the building and no one knew where she had gone. They all rushed back and forth looking for her, the boy and his friends, and the mother and her friends. Finally the mother located her in the Meier & Frank store and they arranged that the girl should go home, where everything is to be made nice for her. But the girl basn t her mind set. She's had one nervous breakdown and if they are not careful ehe'll suffer another. She needs medical attention and perhaps the mother is right in think ing that ah should not be married at this time."
