Portland Young Man Said to

Tacoma, Wash, June 2O.-Failing in
a desperate attempt to hurl Mrs Ruth

years, Of Portland, jumped off the tow

tai. His body did not strike the water,
falling on the dock beneath the bridge
The young woman is at the police
station pending an investigation of the
tragedy by the police. Mrs. Allen
whose husband, George Allen, is IN New
York, declares that Mygott forced his
attentions upon her until she was driv-
en- almost to distraction. She says she
travelled from Los Angeles TO Tacoma
in an effort to avoid him. With her
two months old baby, Mrs. Alien left
Los Angeles and went to San Francisco,
where she declares, Mygott pursued
her. Later she went to Portland, where
her mother is visiting friends. In Port
land she was joined by Mygott, who
accompanied her and her mother to q
theatre. As was pre.arranged, Mrs. AL
len said she slipped out and boarded a
train for Tacoma.
Mygott, however, saw her board the
train and also purchased a ticket, ro-
naming in another part of the same
train.

When Mrs. Allen arrived at Tacoma
she obtained a taxicab, planning 20
take steamer to Seattle. Suddenly
Mygott appeared, and leaping into the
cab gave the driver orders to go to the
municipal dock. Here the machine was
stopped and MygOtt seized Mrs. Allen
and attempted to throw her over the
bridge. Two men nearby went to her
assistance, and beat the frantic man
off.
Fooled in his attempt to destroy Mrs.
Allen, Mygott leaped over the rail and
landed on the ground 80 feet below.
At the hospital he died. Mygott de-
clared that he was angry at the woman
because she left her baby in Portland
He aso said that Mrs. Allen was his
wife, and that he was the father of the
baby, All this Mrs. Allen denies. She
declares her husband IS in New York

mystery behind the tragedy that she is
not willing to make known.
