! c leared Edwards 18 months ago of I a charge that he’ murdered their I flrat child. Brenda. He spent aeveral months in a mental ward at the veteran's hospital in Marlon, Ind , after returning to this country. Police reported that Edwards j admitted slapping his first child Ito stop her crying and said, "I i guess I killed her all right." Homicide detectives secured a delay in hearing the vagrancy charge yesterday. Municipal judge Joseph M. Howard continued it until July 29 because a coroner's report said Beryl June died from a blow on her head which caused a brain hemorrhage. The parents said the child fell from the seat of the motor car because of a sudden atop for a traffic light, then lost consciousness in her crib a short time after she was put to bed. They admitted slapping her to try to awake her. Special Service Provided Detroit I'Pi ITematurc- babies ' born here have special ambulance# to take them to hospitals.
