BUTCHER BOY
 KILLED MOVIE STRUCK WOMAN
Takes His Own Life After He Had Written Note
 of Apology

Los Angeles, June 5-(UP)- Details of a romance between a butcher boy and movie struck girl we're sought by police today as they pieced together events leading to murder and suicide. Key to the fantastic tragedy was found in a suicide note left by George Booth, 25, who said he hacked his girl to death when she told him her true name-Dolores Duffy. Booths body was found hanging from a tree in an isolated grove hours after he stabbed her with a butcher knife and tossed her body out of his car.
 Identity of Girl
 Identity of the pretty girl who came to Hollywood in search of film fame and changed her name to many variations of the true Dolores Duffy, was established by Mrs. Consuela Calderon, a friend, who told police Miss Duffy was estranged from her husband. Leon- ard Zukor, whom she married se- cretly. Police learned other de- tails from Booths parents, MT. and Mrs. A. R. Booth, and police of Cleveland, Reed City, Mich.. and Paris, Mich, the latter Miss Duffy's home. Mrs. Booth told police the young woman came here last fall under the name of Dodoles Dufae, and identified herself as a Cleve- land cosmetician.
 Note Left by Slayer
 The note Booth left to his fam fly said:
 Dearest folks, this is to say goodbye. I am going to face my maker tonight. All hope is that you folks don't take it too hard. I just got done killing Dolores to- night. She told me her right name before I killed her. After stuck the knife in her she told me she loved me true. But it was too late. I stuck the knife in her five times, so goodbye. You have been the best folks a boy could have"
 Booth borrowed his brothers au- tomobile for his last ride with his sweetheart. He apologized flor getting blood on the car."
 ''The stuff you saw on the seat of the car was blood" he wrote. II am sorry I had to use your car but it will come out with cleaning fluid. l hope you will forgive mo for getting your car messed up, but you know l had no car any more."

TWO BIG FLOODS ARECONVERCING
 ON KANSAS CITY
Every PreCantiOn Taken to Save Life and Prop
 erty in the City

Kansas City, Mo, June 5-(UP) ---The crests of two great floods, one swelling down the valley of the Raw river through Kansas, the other coming down the Missouri from the north, converged upon Kansas City today.
 The Raw empties into the Mis- souri here. and army engineers fear that if both flood tides reach here at approximately the same time flood conditions such as have not occurred in 25 years will result.
 The Kaw was estimated as car- rying 100000 cubic feet of water a second when it reached it's crest at Wamego last night. The crest of the Missouri, south of Rulo, Neb., carried about 120.00O cubic feet. Both were about 120 miles from the junction here.
 Precautions Taken
 All possible precautions against both property damage and loss of life are being taken. Materials for strengthening levees and erecting auxiliary dikes were stored in the central industrial district where heaviest damage will occur if the waters break through. A force of 5000 men was recruited and held ready for duty under supervision of army engineers. Erection of 6 foot auxiliary levee, which blocked Santa Fe tracks but may hold back considerable high water was started at one danger point.
