LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9 QN.S).
Give me one more drink if l

Mabel WillyS, 38, as saying today
when she assertedly confessed to
the brutal hammer murder of DR..
Walter Forest Hammond, 62-year-
old dentist.
Mrs. Willys told police she had
lived with Hammond for the past
eight years and that finally yes
terday, when both were drinking
heavily, she decided to end it all.
Happy, She Says
Taking a hammer, she repeat
edly struck the dentist about the
face and head, finally sinking the
weapon in the back of Hammond's S
skull.
She telephoned police this morn
ing and informed them of the Slay-
ing.

Mrs. WHY'S calmly told detectives
she had killed DR.. Hammond after
a drinking bout that lasted three
weeks.

Il was the happiest woman in

Did you love DR.. Hammond"
she was asked.
Love him?" she shifted, picking
a strand of black hair out of her
eyes. Il was a mother to him. I
was his nurSe-even his-hiS

"Why?"
Because he wanted those

Ann smiled Miriam was about my

know, I can think of but one who
would put material considerations be-

now calling a gold-digger. She had
no regard for convention. or even
simple decency. To her marriage was
merely a means to an end. And when
she did finally marry the man who

money and his social prestige that
she wanted. My generation isn't like

Selma and Carl and Bill Hudson.
