PORTLAND Wl Mrs. Jada T.

charged with murdering her littl
girl, Sherrie Ellen, was up for the '
(Second day of preliminary hearing!
in municipal court oaturuay.
Usually a routine affair, tha
hearing for Mrs. Kader opened Fri.
day afternoon with the courtroom
jammed and her attorneys spar
ring with the two state witnesses
called.
There was a legal tangle, too,
and Municipal Judge John J, Quil-
lln recessed court without ruling
on the defense demand that four
detectives, a policewoman and a
physician be called as defense wit
nesses.
Purpose ol the hearing Is to de
termine whether there Is enough
evidence against Mrs. Kader to
warrant holding her to the grand
jury.
Wednesday of last week she
called police and said her 3-year-old
daughter had been abducted.
Sherrie's sister, Vickie, 4. wit
nessed the kidnaping, he mother
saia. nut VicRie, alter Mrs. Kader
finally changed her story and led
police to the child's body In an
enclosed drainage pit, said her
mother had smothered Sherrie,
then dropped her In.
The first decree murder charge
then was filed and a doctor's cer
tificate took Mrs. Kader, a slim,'
freckle-faced woman with a tangled
marital past, to a hospital, pre
sumably for rest.
Friday as the hearing opened she
appeared pert beside a white clad
nurse. As the afternoon wore on
she became increasingly nervous
and when the recess came and
she was led away to a Jail cell
instead of tne hospital, her lipstick
was gone, her hair was tousled and
her face was pale.
The only witnesses were Detec
tive Bob McKeown and Coroner
Floyd South. Reason for the de
tailed questioning of them by de
tense attorneys was not apparent
to the hundred or so spectators who
filled all available space in the
small courtoom.
George Dollarhidc, father of tha
children, who never used his name.
sat beside the defense attorneys.
