Mrs. Betty Tongay, slender
blonde schoolteacher and mother
of the Aquatots, took the stand to
describe Kathy's illness and death.
She also testified that Tongay was
a good father and said she was
"verv. hatrov' with his efforts to

ana ner Drawer sudds, b.
Kathy and Bubba received wide
publicity in 1051 when they went
to England following the father's
announcement they would attempt
to swim the English Channel. Brit
ish and French authorities refused
to allow it.
Later, the: children made several
film shorts and appeared in a mo
tion picture with Esther Williams.
Asst. County Solicitor A. C. Dressier-told
the Jury that Tongay
drove his children until they per
formed like .automatons and said
his motive was "pure selfish gain."
Jepeway contended the state did
not prove that a dive was the
cause of death. .
Water Service
To Town Okay
ST. HELENS W Water servipe
to this Columbia River town was
fully restored early Tuesday and
residents heaved a sigh of relief
that there had been no serious
fires.
The threat of fire without an
adequate water supply has been
the principal concern of city offi
cials. The main water pipe line
from Salmonberry Dam, 12 miles
west, was snapped by a landslide
Saturday. - .
The break was discovered Sun
day when the town's main reser
voir ran drv.
An auxiliary well system and
smaller reservoir supplied some
water but there was not enough
pressure to carry it to the higher
half of the city.

Dr. Victor Calderin, who per
formed the autopsy on Kathy, said
her body was a mass of bruises
and that the cause of death was
peritonitis brought on by an in
testinal rupture. He said a bad
dive from 33 feet or any violent
blow to the back or stomach could
have caused the rupture. ,
Kathy died last May. She was
the second Tongay child to die a
violent death. Russell Jr. died In
convulsions in 1045 at the age of
18 months. An autopsy showed his
death was caused by a hemor
