J.B. Nelson of Everett, motorman of the car, said Mr. McDermott was 18 feet from the track when seen and was running full tilt, waving his umbrella at the limited. To board the car, which stops at Hall's Lake on signal only, Mr. McDermott would have to cross the track. The car hit him as he crossed the nearer rail. Mr. McDermott, who lived in this country forty years, was going to Ireland for a visit to a brother, who is ill. His widow, Mrs. Ellen McDermott, was to have remained on the ranch. Coroner Charles H. Fickel of Snohomish County, in which the tragedy occurred, exonerated the motorman. Dan Bergin, who has a candy store at 2057 Market Street, Ballard, hurried to Hall's Lake on receiving word of the death of Mr. McDermott, who was his uncle. The funeral will be held Tuesday from St. Alphonsus' Roman Catholic Church, with burial in Calvary Cemetery, in charge of the Pheasant Wiggen Company.

"Vahalla" (Putnam, 1960) described service in the Marines in Korea and in Japan following the Panmunjom Armistice and got mixed reactions from praise to harsh criticism. A second novel, "To Drill and Die," also military oriented, did better in Europe than in this county, reportedly. Peacock, from Yakima, served with the Marines in Korea.

Requiem Mass will be said at 9 o'clock tomorrow forenoon in the church, followed by burial in Calvary. Mrs. Ferraro died Friday. She had resided in Seattle five years, coming here from Wenatchee. Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. C.R. Perry, Mrs. James Anderson and Miss Gloria Ferraro and a son, Fred Ferraro, all of Seattle. The Seattle Daily Times Saturday, October 18, 1941 Girl Tells Of Fighting Off Mother's Killer Crazed Admirer Turns on Daughter Before Attempting Suicide The courageous attempt of 16 year old Gloria Ferraro, a pupil at Franklin High School, to save her mother, Mrs. Anna Ferraro 43, from death at the hands of a jealous admirer, was told by police today. The mother was stabbed to death last night by Frank Potega, 50 years old, who also wounded Gloria and then tried to take his own life. Potega stabbed the girl when she tried to save her mother. The attacker, who attempted to stab himself in the heart after fatally wounding Mrs. Ferraro is in a critical condition in Harborview County Hospital. Gloria's wounds were not sufficiently serious to require hospital attention. Mrs. Ferraro died in Harborview at 6:30 o'clock last night, a half hour after she had been stabbed in her home at 4652 Lucille Street. Wounded on Arm Gloria, who tried to fight off Potega with a kitchen stool, was cut on the arm by the ice pick which Potega used to kill Mrs. Ferraro. He later used the ice pick in an effort to end his own life. Gloria's desperate battle with Potega attracted the attention of neighbors, who called police. Mrs. Ferraro was alive when police arrived. She told Patrolmen C.A. Morrison and R.W. Littlefield that Potega attacked her when he became enraged after she had refused to keep "steady company" with him. Mrs. Ferraro said Potega was jealous of a man friend "named George." Potega told police: "Love is blind. I don't know what I stabbed her with. I picked the first thing I could find." Hears Screams Gloria said that last evening she went to a nearby store to get groceries and that when she returned Potega was there. She said she went into another room to do some ironing and while in there heard her mother scream. "I rushed out into the dining room and saw him stabbing my mother," said Gloria. "I grabbed up a stool and began hitting him with it. He chased me into the living room and stabbed me in the arm. My mother came to my rescue and Potega turned on her again. He stabbed her repeatedly. Then he stabbed himself." Gloria said she made a second effort to save her mother but that Potega knocked her down just before he wounded himself. Collapses After Attack "He ran out on the porch then," she said, "and shouted that 'she had it coming.' Then he came back into the house and collapsed." Police found Potega lying on the living room floor. He had attempted to stab himself in the heart but the ice pick just missed the mark. Mrs. Ferraro, a widow, is survived by three other children. Nancy, 26 and Fred, 18, came home soon after the accident. Another daughter is Mrs. Angeline Anderson. Police said the Ferraro home showed signs of the desperate struggle which both Mrs. Ferraro and Gloria put up against Potega. He is under technical arrest in the hospital but no charge has been filed. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
