II oS ANGELES. Aug. l6.-E. H
Sanderson, president Of the Cali
fornia Truck Company, wealthy.
a member Of a widely connected
family and well known throughout this
part Of the State. killed his wife at
their home at 1886 West Lake avenue
this afternoon by cutting her throat
with razor. He then committed sui
eide with the same razor. Hours after
the tragedy a maid returning from
down town discovered the bodies Of
her employers and informed the police.
That Sanderson was insane there
seems to be no doubt. and the horrible
manner in which he butchered his wife
adds confirmation to the theory. Just
what passed between them will never
be known, but the positions of their
bodies and the trails Of blood through
the house tell nutely Of the woman s
awful struggle TO save her life. Of her
flight and OF 2 second attack upon her
The first attack upon the woman was
made in her own room. and there San
derson cut his wifes throat, but only
after q struggle in which several arti-
cles Of furniture were broken and the
room covered with blood Portions OF
Mrs. Sanderson's clothing were torn of
and scattered over the floor. Breaking
away from her frenzied husband, the
wife sprang through a window, carry
ing sash, glass and screen with her
She landed in a flower bed in the yard
and thence crept into the conservatory
and sought a hiding place.
There her husband found her and
renewed the attack and there he killed
her, slashing her throat until only the
spinal column held the head on the
shoulders Mrs. Sanderson's arms and
breast were deeply cut. It is believed
that after the insane man had killed
her he continued TO carve her body.
Even this did not satisfy him. Seiz-
ing the woman by the hair, he dragged
her from room TO room, leaving a trail
of blood pieces Of clothing and tufts
Of hair. He finally dropped her in a
corner where her body was found.
Going to his own room. Sanderson
ended his own life by making one
powerful sweep with the keen blade
across his own throat.
sanderson had been in poor health
for more than a year. Unable to find
relief from an almost continuous at
tack OF neuralgia, he had resorted to
the use Of drugs until his mind became
affected. and while he was not consid-
cred dangerous il was known that he
was not mentally strong and his bust
ness affairs were being looked after by
other officers Of the company.
Mrs Sanderson was a daughter of
the late l. J. Rose. a noted breeder of
