Portsmouth, O, Oct. 14

An unidentified woman parked her car on the Ohio River tollbridge "U.S. Grant" here tonight, climbed the railing and dissapeared from sight.

Toll Collector William Schaffer said two boys saw her climb the railing, but did not see her jump.

Schaffer said a purse was found in the abandoned car containing a driver's license issued to Mrs. Evalle Gifford, 30, of Wheelersburg, Oh., about 12 miles east of Portsmouth. He said the car's license tags also had been issued to Mrs. Gifford.
