Saying Name Expressed
Nature, Lieutenant Had
Longing for Freedom
of Military Career.
Would Not Leave Wo-
man With Memory Of
Ruined Romance, So
Took Life, Say Police.

Chicago July 1O.-Carl Wanderer, a
former army lieutenant, self 3ed
slayer of two persons. one of whom was
his wife. pretty choir singer, and the
other a man with whom he had plotted
to take her life, Saturday night was or
dered held without bail on a charge of
murder by a coroners jury.
At the same time the ragged stranger
whose body has been unclaimed at the
crime nearly three weeks ago, was de-
clared to be that of Al Watson, former
Canadian soldier, who was said to have
told acquaintances he was the only son
of a millionaire turfman living in New
York.
The Identification was made by Mrs.
Catherine Vanos of Chicago, who said
she met Watson in Folkestone, England,
while he was a patient at the Manor
House hospital. Dispatches from New
York said the police recalled that last
May an Alexander Z. Watson had been
re -,orted missing by his wife. The man
was later reported to have been found
in Paterson, n. j., but the police were
ignorant Of his whereabouts.
Wanderer today placed blame for the
tragedy on his familiarity with firearms
and his association with his fathers
butcher shop.
II planned the whole thing id cold
blood because | decided that was the
only way | could do it and get away
with it, he said. "The thought of kill
ing person wasn't so repugnant to me
as it might be to most persons because
of my experience in my fathers butcher
shop. A man in a butcher shop gets so
rlpca1v foI with hInna ha+ -
loses his aversion to it.
"Then. in the army, I had practiced
a great deal at target shooting and be-
ca ne too well acquainted with firearms,
and learned to love the army life above
everything else in the world.

fluences working in my veins the step

matters now.
Il loved my wife in spite of what I
have done. loved her too we'll to desert
her and leave her with the memories
Of a ruined romance to keep her company

Il decided the easiest way out was 10

would have been sleepless and haunted
by visions at night / wasn't I slept

that / can remember.
II am sorry / had to kill that other
chap, but | was afraid he would squeal"
The proceedings at the inquest were
brief, only two witnesses testifying, a
detective, q policeman The latter told
of going to the scene of the crime the
night of the murder. The two pistols
ten empty shells and five bullets which
were found in the hallway where the
shooting occurred, was produced.
