LIT. William O. krOhn, alleniSt
 who has examined many murd-
 'erers, called Wanderer "just a
 cold blooded killer, with an ab-
 normal twist to his brain, whose
 senses of prudence was pushed
 aside by egotism, selfishness and
 self admiration.'
 Chicago, July 1O.-Carl Wanderer, former amy lieutenant, confessed slayer of two persons, one of whom was his wife, a pretty choir singer and the other man with whom he had plotted to take her life, today was ordered held without bail on d charge of murder by coroner's jury,
 The ragged stranger whose body has been unclaimed since the crime, nearly three weeks ago, was declared to be Al Watson, former Canadian soldier, who was said to have told |acquaintances heswas the only son of la millionaire turfman living in New York.
 The Identification was made by Mrs. Catherine Vanos of Chicago who said she met Watson in Folke- stone, England, while he was pa- tlent at the manor house hospital. New York dispatches said police re- called that last May an Alexander E. Watson had been reported missing by his wife. The man later was re- ported to have been found in Pater- son, N. J., but police were ignorant of his whereabouts.
 Wanderer today placed blame for the tragedy on his familiarity with fire arms in the. army, his rowing temperament and his association with his fathers butcher shop.
 q planned the whole thing in cold blood because I decided that was the only way could do it and get away with it," he said. "The thought of killing a person was not so, repug- nant to me as it might be to most per sons because of my experience in my fathers butcher shop. A man in a butcher shop gets so closely acquaint- ed with blood that he loses his aver sion for it.
 "Then in the army I had practiced a great deal at target shooting and became too we'll acquainted with fire arms, and learned to love the army life above everything else.
 Afraid Other Would Squeal.
 '1n addition my name sets me forth correctly-I am a wanderer and a rover. hate to be tied down. was not intended for married life. With these influences working in my veins. the step from discontent to what did was short one. Of course 1 am sorry; any sane man would be, and I am sane, but that doesn't mat ter.
 q loved my wife in spite of what I have done; I loved her too we'll to desert her ard leave her with memo ries of a ruined romance to keep her company during the rest of her life.
 q decided the easiest way out was to kill her. Most men, after doing that would have been sleepless and haunted by visions at night. I wasn't I slept like a top and didn't have a single dream that I can remember.
 T'm sorry had to kill that other chap, but I was afraid he would squeal. Killing him didn't do any good, for I did not have presence o1 mind enough to remember that those |army automatics were numbered There was the weak link in the chain If I had remembered that, would have been all right, and would have made my getaway after staying long enough to completely quiet any suspi. cion that might have been aroused" The inquest was brief, only two witnesses testifying. These were g detective and a policeman. The latter told of going to the scene of the crime the night of the murders. The two pistols, ten empty shells and five bull lets, found in the hallway where the shooting occurred were produced. Wanderer probably will be taker before the grand jury Monday. State'l Attorney Hoyne said he would ask { speedy trial. Wanderer did not re peat his confession to the coroner'i jury though he was present. Instead the coroner read the original con fession after Wanderer had said h, had nothing to add.
