As Indictments
Returned, Several
On Robbery Counts

The grand jury today refused
to indict the parents Of a A.
month-old girl who died in March
of skull fracture her mother said
was received in a fall.

were Robert Patrick Kelley, 20,
much-decorated wartime fighter
pilot. and his Austria-born wife,

major in the District Air National
Guard Reserve, is a CT student in
aeronautical engineering at Cath
olic University.
The baby. Eileen, died at the
Kelley home, $50 Hemlock street
NV. At first she was believed
to have strangled while taking
orange juice from a bottle.
At the inquest, however, Mrs.
Kelley revealed that she dropped
the infant two hours before its
death. Deputy Coroner Christie
.pher j. Murphy said an examina-
ton disclosed the skull fracture,
which he thought was suffered
from "a to 48 hours before death.

of a fall from the mothers arms
would not have been sufficient to
cause the fatal injury.

charged with homicide after the
inquest.
