spastic paralysis- which meant she
never would be normal, was found
by Mrs. Wagner dying- on the
couch of the Wagner apartment
Around the! hall corner lay the
body of Wagner, a bullet through
his head. Coroner John P. Brill
said it plainly was a case of mur
der and suicide.
The mother had left the father
and daughter a short time before
to go to the laundry room. The
father then was trying to feed the
little girl some peaches while they
watched a television program, hv
erything appeared normal, the 38-
year-old woman said.
Called Ambulance
When Mrs. Wagner returned
about 3 p. m. and found the girl
on the couch she thought the child
was suffering from a brain hem
orrhage and called an ambulance
It wasn t until an hour later
she was informed the husband's
body had been found in the in

said. j I ;
"She had been j suffering to an
