A tragedy occurred a few minutes after noon at the Strand Arcade, Miss Ina Mary Mulder, aged 25, a clerk, in the Pacific Cable Board Office, hurling a four-year-old-girl over the balustrade on the top Hour and then jumping to her death, 70 feet below. The child, Betty Malder. was the adopted daughter of the woman’s mother, who died about a year ago. Upon the mother's death, Miss Malder took upon herself the duty of looking after the child, to whom she was greatly attached. The child was being treated at the hospital for a broken arm, and Miss Malder took her out for the dav.
A young woman employed in a shop in the Arcade had a narrow escape from injury. She was buttoning a glove on an outstretched hand, and the child struck her hand, falling at her feet. Before she recovered from the shock the woman’s body fell a few feet away.
