mer and thrown from his new
Packard automobile near Bedford,
Pa, early yesterday.
His automobile was abandoned
on the Pennsylvania Turnpike
about 40 miles south of where the
unconscious sergeant was found
at 8 am. yesterday. He died at 2
pm. in the Bedford Hospital with
out regaining consciousness.
Not far from the automobile,
State police found Sergt Wright's
wallet containing Identification
cards and other papers, but no
money.
Police Broadcast Lookout.
State police broadcast lookout
for two youths, 18 to 20 years old,
one dressed in white and believed
to be sailor. The other wore a
T-shirt and had red hair. They
were seen near the spot where the
car was recovered.
The police theory that Sergt.
Wright was killed by hitchhikers
was strengthened by his sister,
Mrs. Willowdean Shlanta, 26, of
1886 Crittenden street NV.
HE always picked up hitch
mixers" she said. HE hated to
drive alone and he said he knew
what it was like to be standing on
the highway trying to hitch ride.
He never passed up a serviceman."
Loneliness generated by the
failure of a girl friend in Youngs-
town, Ohio, to visit Washington
over the week end probably sent
the sergeant to his death.
Failed to Get Call.
Mrs. Shlanta said her brother
stayed at her house until $3.50
O'Clock Saturday night awaiting
a call from the girl in Youngs-
town. When it did come he drove
Mr.. Shlanta downtown and said
he planned to go to the non-com-
missioned officers club and sit
around.
He changed his mind, however,
and instead drove to Youngs-
town. He had weekend pass
and was due back at his post as
an ordnance analyst at Marine
Corps headquarters at 8 am. yes
terday.
Around 9 pm. his car entered
the turnpike about 240 miles
from Bedford and headed toward
Washington. His body was found
in a clump of weeds about so
feet off the turnpike near the
Breezewood intersection, IS miles
east of Bedford.
A blood-stained hammer, which
had rained repeated blows on the
back of Sergt. Wright's head near
the left ear, was found near the
body.
His car was not found until
hours after the discovery of the
unconscious Marine. State troop
|ers on a routine check found
bloodstains in the automobile and
then found the wallet containing
|Sergt. Wright's Identification
|cardS.
Two Seen Near Car.
Sergt. Wright, who augmented
his income by clerking at night
in an Acme food store, turned in
a Buick for the 1852 Packard a
little more than a month ago, his
sister said.
He had been stationed at Guam
tico before being transferred to
Marine Corps headquarters, Mrs.
FShlanta said. One of his buddies
lived in Pittsburgh, and he drove
there frequently on week-ends, &C
cording to his sister. On one of
his trips he met the girl from
Youngstown.
A native of Dillon, S. c., Sergt.
Wright enlisted in the Marine
Corps January 8, 1947. All of his
service has been in this country.
His commanding officer, 1t. Sam
uel w. Stein, drove to Bedford
yesterday to identify Sergt.
Wright's body.
