Mrs. BESSIE MEILING, Director, Utah County Welfare Department, 260 West 300 North, Provo, Utah, advised as follows:

KAREN BURNS MC COY was employed by that department as a Case Worker from January 3, 1972 to April 7, 1972. She failed to report for work on April 10, 1972. She did not have any days off during the above period of employment. Her salary was $560.00 per month.

She applied for the above position on Friday, November 19, 1971, and was interviewed at 8:30 A.M., on that date by Mrs. MEILING. During the interview, she told Mrs. MEILING that she planned to leave Provo, Utah, November 22, 1971, for three weeks to go to North Carolina to visit with her husband's family. She said her husband was to follow her to North Carolina on December 10, 1971.

Sometime after Mrs. MC COY was hired, she told Mrs. MEILING that the above mentioned plans to go to North Carolina had not worked out because of an illness in the family. Mrs. MEILING seems to recall hearing that Mrs. MC COY had gone to North Carolina on a later date.

Mrs. MEILING recalls seeing Mrs. MC COY at about 9:00 A.M., April 7, 1972, at the above-mentioned welfare office in Provo. Mrs. MC COY spent most of her time during her employment mentioned-above, at American Fork, Utah, at the Utah State Training School; although she was employee of the County Welfare Department. Mrs. MEILING recalls that Mrs. MC COY had a wrist, believed to be her right wrist, which had given her considerable trouble. Mrs. MC COY indicated that she would apparently have to have surgery on her wrist. The weak- ness in the wrist was known to Mrs. MEILING for several weeks; the exact number not being recalled. On one occasion, Mrs. MC COY complained to Mrs. MEILING about pain in her wrist, as she had done considerable typing on one particular day.
