mittee of the city commission.
which will give special attention
to restrictions that the state

iness and industrial encroach
ments on the capitol area.
On the committee Chairman

the city commission is deferring
action on zoning questions in the

these, one involving property at
the southeast corner of North

er the northwest corner of North

river. No serious complications
re expected. Some requested
changes in the Kingwood dis
trict zoning are still before the
commission.

were approved. Name of New
kirk road was changed to Mize
road. It runs east from Liberty
road. In south Salem Bruce

One-Day Bridegroom Kills Self
Because Married 'Wrong Girl'
Los Angeles, Calif., Nov. 16 (U.R) A 20-year-old bridegroom
of one day scrawled a suicide note on the back of his marriage
certificate then killed himself because he married the wrong
girl, police said today.
Former high school football star Tommy Lee Schwader wrote
a trembling farewell note to his
16-year-old bride, Edna Irene
(Jackie) Hamman, which said
in part:
"If anybody ever tells you this
is a coward s way out, you try
it once . , . Jackie, please don't

was found in
his car Monday barely a day aft
er he and Jackie were married
in Yuma. Ariz. He had fired the
death blast with his big toe.
Beside his body, officers found
a Yuma. Ariz., marriage certifi
cate with a scrawled suicide
note on the back. In his pocket,
they found a note from the girl
he had courted for months, Betty
Jean Cron, 16, that turned down
his plea to "go steady."
"Tommy was sore because I
had broken with him," Betty
Jean, the bride's best friend, ex
plained today.
"He married the wrong girl,
not the girl he loved. I was sure
it would not work out."
Although they went out to
gether in a party Saturday night,
Betty Jean said the final break
in their romance came the day
before, when he found she had
dated another boy.
But Saturday night after the
party, Schwader. a Compton col
lege student, talked Jackie into
accompanying him to Yuma
where they were married by a
justice of the peace.
"I thought I loved him,"
Jackie told police. "But on the
way back from Yuma, I sud
denly felt it was all wrong. I
told him so."
They went to a motel, how
ever, where she said she told
him she didn't love him and
couldn't live with him.
It was then that the one-time
high school football star threat
ened to take his life, the sobbing
girl said.
After the tight-lipped youth
drove her to her home, he dis
appeared. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Karl
Schwader, searched frantically
for him most of Sunday night.
But a stranger, L. C. Walling,
was the first to discover Tom
my's auto and its grisly con
tents.
His pretty, red-haired bride
was at home when the news
came that she was a widow. Her
friend, Betty Jean, was in high
school.
The youth's suicide note urged
his mother not to "carry on too

here after 26 hours in the air.
"I had weather all the way
from El Paso, Texas, on," said
Marsh. There were shifting
headwinds something like 60 or
70 miles an hour and it was pret
ty rough going."
Marsh said he flew on instru
ments for five hours at about
12,000 feet.
Marsh landed here about 3
p.m. He left Los Angeles at 2:12
p.m. (EST) Monday.
It was his third attempt to
make the flight. He was flying
a single engine Aeronca in an
attempt to best the 30-hour re
cord set a decade ago by Johnny
Jones, now an American airlines
captain.
