Charged With
Infant's Death
EPHRATA. Wash. tf A 28-year-old
woman now , living in San
Francisco was charged with first
degree murder v Wednesday, for the
death of an infant with whom she
was baby-sitting last summer.
Grant County Prosecutor Paul
Klasen Jr. filed ' the charges
against Miss Kathleen Carnaghan
and. left later with a deputy sheriff
for the Bay City to take her into
custody.. '
The child, Deena ' Maree Stan
man, 21 - months - old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Dutch Starzman,
was mortally wounded 'in a man
ner and by means unknown" to
the prosecutor's office, the com
plaint said. The Starzmans live at
Grand Coulee.
The death was reported at the
time to have been caused by
drowning in a puddle while Miss
Carnaghan was sprinkling the
lawn.
Some time ago. Klasen said, his
office received information raising
doubt as to whether the baby ac
tually drowned. He obtained a Lin
coln County court order March 1
to exhume the body.
It was taken from the Wilbur
cemetery and on March 9 Dr.
Charles Larson, Tacoma patholo
gist, reported the death was
caused by head injuries, Klasen
said. He continued his investiga
tion of the case and decided to
file the murder charges.
Boost in Sales
Tax Possible
In Washington
By LYLE BURT
OLYMPIA Iff) - A boost in the
sales tax to balance the state budg
et was predicted Wednesday by the
chairman of a Senate Committee
on Revenue and Taxation.
Sen. Eugene D. Ivy said the 60
million dollars or more in new
taxes that wQl have to be raised
probably will include some form
of an increase in the sales tax.
The exact amount will not be
known until a final determination
is made on the size of the state
spending budget, the Yakima Re
publican said. '
The spending budget was turned
over Wednesday to a Senate-House
conference committee to try and
reconcile the difference between
th 830 million dollar . bill passed
by the House and the 800 million
dollar version approved by the
Senate.
