FEEL' FUNERAL HOME 37 Years of Continuous Service in Medford Ambulance Service (DAY OR NIGHT) Sensibly Priced For Everybody E HELD FOR DEATH OE TEXMIDOW Portland Probe Continues Accused Silent, Defies Questioners San Francisco, Dec .15 (U.R) Silver haired Alfred Leonard Cline, a saint-like smile on his unshaven face, was formally notified in court today that he had been charged by Dallas, Tex., police with the murder of one of the five wealthy widows he wooed. The 56 year old ex-convlct maintained his customary tight lipped silence before Municipal Judge Edward Molkcnbuhr. The former Denver, Colo., choir singer has steadfastly refused to talk with anyone and has not even admitted his name to police questioners. District Attorney Edmund Brown, however, maintained Cline could be held 30 days without bail until Texas author ities prepared an extradition re quest. Brown said the delay would be used in an attempt to build up "additional murder cases" against the suave befriender of widows. At Brown's request, police in Reno. Las Vegas, Nov., Los Angeles, Oakland, Calif., Ma con, Ga., Portland, Ore., Chica go, Columbus, O., Dallas and Jacksonville, Fla., are investigat ing the mystery of why at least eight elderly persons died or disappeared after associating with Cline. Portland authorities here con tinued their investigation into Cline's activities surrounding the death of an elderly widow in the Oregon city Nov. 29 while she was registered in a hotel as his wife. "We think we have a strong case of murder," Police Lieuten ant Gene Ferguson said, "But we'll return to Portland Monday to lay results of our investiga tion before the district attor ney." Brown said he thought Port land had the "strongest case against Cline of any city so far." ROSE CITY PAIR Portland, Ore.. Dec. 15 UP) An elderly couple, who prefer red starvation in bed to charity, were still in critical condition tonight in a Portland hospital after police found them near death in their home. The pair, Mr. and Mrs. Otto F. Steinke, were found by neigh bors after they had lain for three days without food and without heat in their small bungalow during sub-freezing weather. The aged couple left no mes sage to account for their action and were "thoroughly uncom municative" when questioned at the hospital. Hospital attendants said the couple, aged 61 and 71 years, resembled "the pictures of starv ed prisoners from the Buchen wald concentration camp." Washington.
