Finding of Dead Woman Marks End of Lengthy Vigil

A faithful vigil of several days beside the body of her dead mistress ended Tuesday night for a part-collie dog named Candy which was taken to the Oregon Humane Society after the dead woman was found.
The dog's dead mistress was Mrs. Ellen Eberhart, about 54 years old, who resided at a small white cottage at 7811 SE Tolman St. Police were called to the house Tuesday evening after passersby noticed an accumulation of newspapers on the porch.
Officers Remove Dog
On peeking through a window, officers saw the dead woman on a bed in a rear bedroom. Candy was lying across the lower part of the body.
The dog would not move when officers tried to entice her from the room, so a call was made for humane society officers A. F. Taylor and James Silva.
Although giving a few last yelps, the dog submitted to removal by Taylor, who placed the animal in a society truck and took her to the society headquarters. The dog will be held there pending orders from the coroner's office.
Papers on the porch indicated they had not been collected since Friday. Coroner's deputies said death occurred about five days ago.
Mrs. Eberhart was the wife of Truman C. Eberhart, a radio operator reported to be aboard the vessel Portland Trader.
The body was taken to the County Morgue.
