[Theatre Usher’s Suitor Is
Suicide Victim
LONG BEACH. Calif., Mar. 8—
Of)—A pretty theatre usher, whose
baby son was slain by bullets
meant for her. wept inconsolably
today at the tragedy caused by a
craned suitor.
The suitor. 23-year-old Walter
Wengert, was dead. Detective Lieut-
enant C. E. Peterson said he fired
a bullet through his head in a
parking lot a few minutes after his
pistol blasted out the life of 20-
months- old Clyde Atherton, asleep
In his crib.
A note found at Wengert's side
indicated he had meant to kill Mrs.
Ruth Atherton instead of her
child: the detective said.
Wengert had known Mrs. Ttlier-
ton three years ago. before her
marriage When she became
estranged from her husband. Aldtne
Atherton, several months ago. he
resumed attentions which she tiled
to discourage. Detective Peterson
reported. The suicide note read:
"Dear Mother—I am awfully
sorry things had to turn out like
this, but I was so in love with
Ruth that rather than lose her,
I wanted to kill her. which I did
Give Clyde my watch. I know I
am n coward, but I can't help it,
so goodbye. Bury me next to Ruth
If you can.” The note was signed
“Walter and Ruth."
