Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-07-02

THE inhabitants OF the
little English village of
j Luton had never seen
any father quite as devoted
as 40-year-old BERTHE Man
ton.
The way he stepped in
and took care of his four
children and ran the house
after his wife left him was
a constant source Of amaze
ment TO the womenfolk.
why, he does everything
for his chlldrensAwas the
usual comment. How could
a wife ever leave a man
like that? II doesn't seem
possible"
Although the whole vii.
lage was bursting with
curiosity. the quiet-spoken,
gentle hammered husband
never gave a hint as TO the
domestic trouble that had
caused his wife to suddenly
leave their home.
Even 10 his own relatives,
the patient little man Of
fered no further explana-
ton. The only person he
took into his confidence
was his mother.in-law. To
her, he told how his wife
Irene, had mysteriously
gone 10 London.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-07-02

The accused man had imi-
tated his wife's handwrit-
ing, and then had gone to
London from time TO time
10 mail the letters. Every
one was fooled.
Manton-who is awaiting
trial-admitted the murder,
and confessed his hoax of
making il appear his spouse
was still alive.
According TO his confes-
sion, publish ed by the

police. he hit his wife over
the head with a heavy
wooden stool as the climax
TO an argument over their
household affairs.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-07-02

Her sympathies were all
with her son-in.law. She
couldn't understand how
any woman coufd desert as
fine a man as BERTHE.
AS weeks and then
months went by, ii became
increasingly clear that
Irene had no intention Of
returning. Old friends be-
gan receiving letters from
her. In each one, she ex-
pressed her determination
10 stay in London indefin-
itely.
That's why you could
have knocked the villagers
over with a feather a short
time ago when Chief In
spector Chapman of Scot
land Yard arrived In Luton
and announced that Man
ton had been arrested for
the murder OF his wife.
The body of a nude
woman, found in the near
by River Lea three months
before, had been identified
as that OF Mrs. Manton.

Hid The Body

He hid her body in the
basement and then sent the
children, when they arrived
home, out TO an evening
movie. While they were
gone, he put his wife's body,
wrapped in burlap. onto the
handlebars of his bicycle
and wheeled the corpse 10
the river through the
blacked-out village. There
he dumped it into the
stream.
II killed her, but only be-
cause lost my temper" he
was quoted as telling
police. Il didn't want TO.
If il hadn't been for the
children, ! would have Civ

DR.. Townsend is a financial

leadership to his church in pay

said publishing house is not only
a credit to the Baptist Denomi-

He had his beginning in hum

he has made his ascent step by
