No Charge Filed In Hallberg Case
The companions of Mac Halibers who committed death by own action Monday morning were released from custody yesterday on request of the girl's parents who stated that they were satisfied her associates at the time of her death were not responsible. The Ballbergs and young Robert Watkin were released after Watkin, Ludia, Lumberg and Mabel Harlow appeared in the county attorney's office. Watkins recounted the girl’s attempt to conquer drinking, noting she was merry when sober but morose after even a few drinks. The father distrusted claims of jilting by a young man. The girl's body will be taken to Helena for burial.
