NOTE
FOR HIS
WIFE
John GrimaIdi Was to Have
Had REORGANIZATION at
Veterans Bureau

Haunted by a vision Of slow
death from tuberculosis, John
Grimaldi, world war veteran,
twenty-five years old, living at
1918 Fourteenth street northwest.
went to his work in a barber shop
9t 1919 Seventh street northwest
today and, after shaving himself,
walked into an adjoining wash
room and shot himself through
the head with revolver. He died
enroute to Freedmen's Hospital.
Letter Is Found.
In Grimaldi's coat pocket was
found a letter from the Veterans
Bureau advising his to report to
the local bureau dispensary today
for denomination for tuberculosis.
Before going to the washroom,
the young veteran wrote this note
in pencil to his wife:
lines dear, bella di milo cuore
darling Of my heart). you are a
sainted martyr. Do not hate me.
Goodbye"
Before Grimaldi left his home
early today, his wife had asked to
accompany him to the barber shop.
but he would not permit it, saying
he did not want her to wait in the
shop until he had shaved and was
ready to go to the dispensary. They
agreed that she should meet him
later at the shop and they would
80 together to the Veterans Blu
reau.
Wife Reaches Shop.
When Mrs. Grimaldi, a pretty
young woman, reached the barber
shop, the blinds were drawn and q
group Of curious idlers were dis
cussing the tragedy outside.
Frank D. Phillips, half owner Of
the shop, broke the news to the
young wife. She hurried to the
Second precinct police station, while
Sergeant Frank Howard was at.
tempting to reach her by telephone.
Where Is he? Where is my
brother?" cried Mrs. Grimaldi, who
was in a semi.hysterical condition.
She thought to find Guy Tartaglia,
her brother, a barber at 106 G.
street northwest, at the police sta
ton. But police had been unable
TO communicate with him.
Almost incoherent in her sudden
grief, Mrs. Grimaldi reproached her
husband for leaving her alone in the
world with their baby. The baby
was all she thought of-the stigma
the child might bear because of its
fathers deed.
Wife Main Support.
Mrs. Grimaldi is employed as q
bookkeeper at the National Furn;-
ture Company. She had not been
at the office for the past few days.
Her husband had been unable to
do steady work since his discharge
from the army in 1922. There had
been long periods when he was un-
able to work at all. A trip to Italy,
from which he returned several
months ago, did little good. His
wife was the principal support of
the little household.
The revolver used by Grimaldi was
q cheap .32.caliber weapon. Three
bullets had been discharged. and
three had failed to explode. Police
are unable to account for the other
two shots.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. Bert
Colima, who has appeared in four
main events at Vernon within the
last two months, again features
that club s fight card tonight when
he meets Bob Sage, the Detroit
lawyer, at middleweight poundage.
Sage is relying upon his puncing
power to bring him the verdict and
has trained carefully for the bout.
Colima, with plenty of recent ae-
tion in his system, is figured to
be at his best.
Jimmy Darrah and Sailor Ritter
box the 'semi-final engagement.
The Culver City boxing stadium,
which presented two shows and then
quit, will be reopened within three
weeks, according to the promise of
Fred Winsor, who will manage the
arena. Winsor states that the Gull
yer City American Legion post will
have complete control of the shows.
With Harold Godshall bracketed
in the final round of the upper
draw, play for the other semifinal
ist position was under way today
in the Los Angeles City tennis
championships. Ralph Sindorf and
Perry Jones were to play for the
right to meet Godshall in the round
before the finals.
Godshall defeated Alrick Man,
Jr., and Miles Rainke, the former
in straight sets and Raincke, 6-1,
4-6, Ga.
In the lower half of the draw
Tom Ferrandini plays Jim Davis,
who won from Eugene Warren.
Details of the fistic engagement
in the fifth inning of yesterday 5
Angeles game were
presented to Harry Williams, pres
ident of the Pacific Coast league,
today.
Umpire "Beans" Reardon S ver-
sion of the affair went to the coast
prexy and summary action against
Manager Charley Pick of the solons
was expected.
Pick, taking exception to Rear
don s ruling when the umpire call
ed Outfielder Kopp out at first,
left his place on the coaching line,
rushed up to Reardon and swung at
the umpire's chin. This started
a general fracas which stopped only
after an exchange of blows had
brought interference in the shape
of three husky policemen and all
players on the field.
