Lieut.. Carl Wanderer First
Claimed Dead Tramp
Killed Woman
BUT LATER ADMITTED
MURDER OF BOTH
Chicago's Latest Crime Is
Most Peculiar-Mystery
for Several Days

Chicago, July l0.--Formal charges of
murder were prepared to-day by States
Attorney Hoyne to be preferred against
Carl Wanderer, who confessed last
night to the killing of his wife and a
tramp.
The motive for the murders was first
given by Wsnderer as a desire 70 go
back into the army free from marital
ties. 1t was later revealed. according
to the police, that he wished to inherit
his wife's estate and did not intend to
rob her.
In his confession the police said Wan
dcrer declared that he deliberately shot
to death his bride of few months in
the hallway and that he also shot an
unwilling victim of his planning,
man unarmed, whom he enticed there
so he could kill him and then accuse
him of having tried to rob him and his
wife who in two months would have
become mother.
The man used by Wanderer to pose
as a robber and then be slain, was
partly identified as William Noeth, who
in 1917 or 1912 was employed by the
Gentry Brothers circus while in South
Bend, Ind.
we shall go before the grand jury
and ask his indictment on charge OF
murder" States Attorney Hoyne said,
"It * one of the most cold -blooded
and revolving crimes in Chicago's his
tory. We shall ask an immediate trial
and the rope
Il want to be hanged" Wanderer
commented. 81 hope to join her in
death. | wonder if she will forgive
me. Well. | loved her too much to let
another man get her. But | didn't
want her myself"
Wanderer said that he did not wish
to desert his wife and join the army,
but wished TO be free
Il feel better with that off my
chest he added. II had bad dreams
and the picture of the hallway with
my wife lying there came back once
in a while. | feel like a new man, and
I'm ready to kick off whenever they
want to take me-"
One of the anomalies of the case
which misled the police for weeks was
the romance of the couple and their
supposedly happy married life. Wan
derer, who had never smoked. chewed,
drank or INDUCED in slang, had only
one love affair, the one with Ruth
johnson. who became his wife at the
conclusion of war romance.
"She was the only girl ever kissed"
he told the police. He took her to
church every Sunday. They married
after the ex lieutenant returned from
France.
Wanderers story of how the ragged
stranger was hired TO be the unwilling
victim in the double murder was told
by him in the same Unconditional way
he related the details of his wife's
death.
He picked up the man on the west
side on the day of the murder by Of
fering him a job as a truck driver.
An appointment was made for that
evening When the stranger came Wan
derer told him that he wanted him 10
follow Mrs. Wanderer into the apart
ment house and stage a fake hold up.
When Wanderer and his wife returned
from the theatre the stranger played
his part as directed, and was met with
a stream of lead
Wanderer then turned on his wife
and shot her twice. She died within
five minutes. Her only words were the
baby"
