Mother And Babe Die
Husband's Return Greeted By Ghastly Tragedy
Mrs. A. T. Brown, Formerly of Portland, and Child Overcome by Gas Fumes in Walla Walla Home
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Oct. 26 — (Special) — Unable to get in the house by the door, which was locked, A. T. Brown forced open a window this afternoon and on the floor of the bathroom found the bodies of his wife and 10-month-old baby lying dead. They had been overcome by the fumes from a gas heater, which was still burning.
Brown is a traveling salesman, and had not been home for several days. It was the custom of Mrs. Brown to bathe the baby at 11 o'clock each day, and it is supposed that she died about this hour, as the infant was undressed.
The Browns came here from Portland recently.
Mrs. Brown in falling had struck her head against the bathtub, cutting a gash on her nose. Whether she fainted and fell against the tub and the lack of oxygen in the air caused the death of the two or whether she was attacked by heart failure and fell to her death has not been determined.
Mrs. Brown was 31 years old. She was born in Woodburn, Or. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Ford, live at 726 Clackamas street. They will arrive tomorrow. The bodies will be sent to Portland.
Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Ford, 726 Clackamas street, received a long-distance phone call yesterday from their son-in-law, A. T. Brown, of Walla Walla, saying that he had found his wife, Hazel, and small daughter, Betty, lying dead on the bathroom floor on his return from a trip to North Yakima, where he has been since last Monday. How long they had been there he did not know. Mr. Brown travels for the Oregon Motor Car Company, of Portland.
Before her marriage, five years ago, Mrs. Brown was Miss Hazel Ford. Mr. Brown is the son of Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Brown, 753 Clackamas street. Mrs. Brown left last night for Walla Walla.
