Aberdeen Man
Held Following
Death of Baby
ABERDEEN, Nov. 23-jP)-A 29-yaur-old
laborer was under arrest
today in the investigation of the
desth of an 18-month-old child
with whom he was "baby-sitting.
The child, William Hunter, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hunter, died
early this morning with a broken
inck, according to a preliminary
report by County Coroner Dr. E.
K. Riley.
Police Chief A. M. GaUagher
said that Alfred Leohner was held
without charge in connection with
th case.
- Officials Mid that a pathologist
was being called to examine the
b1y of the child. Prosecutor Stan
ley Krause said that the filing of
' formal charges would hinge on the
; outcome of the pathologist's study.
:L Dr. C. H. Larson, Tacoma patho
logist, declared at an autopsy late
; today that the child definitely suf-
. lered a brain hemorrhage.
There was some doubt as to how
long the autopsy would last. Pro-
-secutor Stanley J. Krause said
there was a possibility Dr. Larson
- may want to make some laboratory
taU in Tacoma on some of bis
. findings.
Gallagher said that Leohner told
officers last night that the baby
' fell from his arms as he was get
ting him ready for bed. He said he
stepped forward to pick up the
o child from the floor when he ac
. eJdcntally stepped on his neck.
The police chief quoted him as
saying he tried artificial respira
r tion and then called a taxi to rush
him to the hospital.
