Penniless Doctor Kills
 Wife And Kept Vigil By
 Her Body For Many Hours

Boston, Sept 7.- UP)-Dr Towneley Thorndike French, ST. year-old non-practicing and penni- less physician, smilingly suggested to police today that perhaps the psychoanalysts can explain" why he killed his wife as she slept and then kept lonely vigil beside her lifeless body for 36 hours.
 The doctor. a cripple, limped into Lagrange street police station last night, placed a revolver from which a single shot had been fired on the desk. and said:
 There's some trouble at Mel rose street. I shot my wife and she's lying dead in room there"
 A patrolman sent by an incredu- lous lieutenant to that address con- firmed the statement. The body of the doctors third wife, clad in a yellow nightgown, lay in bed. She had been shot through the head.
 Meantime, at the police station, Dr French, regarded as a prodigy at Harvard Medical school from which he was graduated in 1896. was telling, dispassionately, how for the past seven years his wife. working as an elevator operator in a downtown department store, had been his sole support. Six weeks ago she was laid off, he said. and since then they had been virtually penniless.

 My first pNn was to Kill myself. But I thought if I did that she would be left alone to fight the battle. She was out of work and being cripple, I couldn't support her. So I decided suddenly Labor day morning to shoot her as she slept. I felt she would be taken care of that way and the state would take care of me for what time I have yet to live. I placed the gun gently behind the mastoid area behind her left ear and shot her as she was sleeping. She never knew what happened"

MAIDEN, Braddock, was selected as
president Of the state organization
for next year.
Miss MAIDEN was named as one of
three best-groomed girls at the in
stitute, so her personal charm MAY
have had something to do with her
election, but the award made to her
in the wool dress contest was OBJ
viously won by the merit of her
work.

those who went with her to Fargo,
just as we are proud of every young
Burleigh county citizen, male or fe-
male, who is struggling to improve
his or her self in the face Of rather
obvious handicaps.
To Bismarck and Burleigh county
we offer congratulations for having
produced the outstanding All club
member of the state for the current
year and we felicitate Miss MAIDEN
upon the distinction which has come
to her.
