July .(UP) A little black diary last night revealed the tragic course that In 15 months led Thomas MeBarron, San prandaco typewriter salesman, from a happy marriage to suicide In a Pittsburg, Cal., hotel. The diary was found beside hie body. He had apparently read through It again before he knelt beside the bed and shot himself through the head, a golden crucifix clutched In his hand. MeBarron made his first entry In the diary March 1, 1937,, as he pre pared to leave for Portland. Ore., to claim his young bride, "Mickey." "I am leaving for what will be the happiest time of my life." he wrote. "I pray God I may be good enough to deserve the happiness He has brought me." The entries for'' the next . three months were on a note of happiness. Then June 31, 1937, he wrote: "Mickey struck me today during an argument. We had been shouting at each other when she suddenly flared up and hit me In the face. A few minutes later as I stood In front of an open window, she pushed me." That was the turning point in the real-life novel that lay on the ruled pages of the little black diary. There were days of happiness, but more and more the entries took on a vein of despair. One sentence hint ed at the tragedy to come: "How easy It would be to commit murder," he wrote. The story went on through his wife's divorce early this year and after that there were only broken. Irregular, hurried notations. "No breakfast; no lunch no dinner." he wrote in, day after day. until the entries ceased altogether. Last Sunday MeBarron found Mickey In a car with another man outside a tavern near Pittsburg. In the scuffle that followed, he beat his former wife snd shot her twice, and also shot the tavern keeper who tried to interfere. Nei ther was critically wounded, but MeBarron fled Into ,the hills and finally found his way to the hotel room. Mc Barron's last note was made on the back of a picture of his beautiful wife, tucked Into the diary. In a shaky hand It read: "Mickey Dear: How I dread thia holiday. Just a year ago we were so happy. Just three weeks ago you were in the arms of the rat who stole my home. I Just can't stand it. Tom." TOURISTS TO TELL GOLD AND SILVER WASHINGTON, July 8.
