found in a remote spot yesterday.
She had been dead more than .
month. The body had been badly
torn by wild animals.
The ring, q shield behind which
the love affair between Bethel and
the girl had been concealed, was the
clue that led police to his door.
The gruesome touch was added
to the staying when the county
autopsy surgeon found that the bull
let wound in the head Of the young
woman would not necessarily have
been fatal had she been given i'm.
mediate medical treatment.
Lived Three Days
The surgeon said it was possible
that the bullet merely blinded and
stunned her and that she might have
lived as long as three days. dying

together.
Then Miss Mauger found she was
to become a mother. and quarrels
followed, the girl asking that he OBJ
tain divorce and marry her. On
June "a, he said, while in his auto
mobile in the hills above Hollywood,
just few hundred yards from the
spot where the body was found, they
had another quarrel and she leaped
from the car and disappeared. That
was the last time he had seen her,
he declared. The day before, he had
borrowed q gun and gone to the
same spot to practice shooting, he
said.
