Gun Girl Says Her
Father Cheated His
Wife for Pretty Face

CHICAGO, May 20. - Mothers
praying for me because mother be-
lieves in God.
''She went through all the hard
years with my father, pinching and
scraping to clothe us five children
and then he cheated her for a
pretty face.
They tell me this Anna may die.
I'm sorry, OF course, but I'd rather
she'd die than live and make my
mother unhappy again
This is the philosophy which
poured from the lips of fifteen
year-oId Lucille Wunsch today as
she sat in a police cell awaiting
the disposition of her case by the
police, who charge her with shoot
ing Miss Anna Simneck, her faith
er's alleged affinity; her mother,
Mrs. Birdie Wunsch, and her faith
er. William.
1T was two years ago" the
child continues, her eyes looking
out unafraid at her questloners
that father met this Anna. She
lives over at George Traps. He's
her step-father. She's pretty
prettierg and younger than my
mother.
my father and this Anna began
TO go out together. Ny mother
went to George Trapp and told him
what was going ON But Irapp
didn't do anything.
"And a year ago, my mother
caught Anna Simneck and my
father together and she ran Anna
all the way home with a hat pin
But my father and Anna kept
snealxing out to meet each other.
MY mothers eyes have always
been red lately from crying. And
when she would talk to my father
to plead with him to leave Anna
alone-she did it when she didn't
think / could hear-he'd curse her
"One day I told mother that
knew and that ! would help her
80 last night we waited for
them to come back to Trapp's.'
Here the tale breaks. The girl
does not discuss the shooting, bridg
ing that event with a brief silence
and plunging into its consequences

says, ''and''-there is a certain
hardness. a hardness beyond the
years about her lips-''when he

STORY

to make of her case, she has not
been questioned to any extent.
This afternoon, however, accord
ing. to police she will be asked to
explain the details Of her midnight
attack.
And one aim of the examination.
police say. will be to determine pos
ltively that it was she and not her
mother, Mrs. Birdie Wunsch, who
fired the shots from which Anna
Simneck, twenty eight, William
wunsch's alleged affinity. is dying
at . hospital.
Before lapsing into unconscious
ness from which physicians say she
probably never will revive, Miss
Simneck repeated over and over:
fThe woman shot me. The wo-
man shot me-"
This, police at first believed, indi-
Gated the mother had fired the
shots but the girls statement and
the fact that the mother also suf-
fered a minor wound, led them to
believe Miss Simneck may have
been referring to Lucille.
Cause Ample, Gossip Says.
The story of the events leading
back yard fences, time and again,
are, Riverdale holds. substantially
as follows:
Wunsch, in the late forties, pos
ssessed of wealth accumulated
through twenty-year upward
fight from comparative poverty.
during which his wife had helped
and saved to raise the family of
five, met Miss Simneck two years
ago at social affair.

clothes well, and talks or rather

the girl of the new generation, on
many subjects and always to

Represented Mental Change.
To the man worn in the groves
of years Of routine toll, she repre-
eented mental change, relaxation
and companionship of a sort that
his aging wife did not afford.
Miss SinTneck began to be seen
about in the Wunsch automobile
and village tongues began to wSg.
Faint whispers of this and that
came to Mrs. Wunsch but she re-
fused to believe them until. at last,
she saw for herself and demanded
an explanation.
It came, brutally, in words that
told her she was growing old'' and
that she hadn't progressed"
She turned then to the woman,
Riverda1e viii tell you, 'and warned
her:
Keep away from my husband. |"
This was eighteen months ago
and Miss Simneck's only answer
then is said to have been:
Why don't you keep him away
from me?"
Urged On By NeighbOrs.
{. A year ago came the first open
clash, according to the records in
Riverdale gossip's ledger.
Neighbors told Mrs Wunsch thAy
wouldn't stand for it," for in River

wealthy connections in Washing
ton. His body is being held at
Demaine's Undertaking establish
ment until relatives can be com
municated with.

first in several weeks, has been re-
ported to the Health Department.

and two other children, has been
quarantined. DR.. Albert johnson is
in attendance on the case.
