Stanford Student
Admits Slaying of
17-Year-Old Girl
Palo Alto, Calif. OP) A
19-year-old Stanford sopho
more said today he shot and
killed the girl who lived
across the street because "I
had an urge to do it."
Police lodged a charge of
suspicion of murder against
Thomas Wallace Cordry III,
son of a San Francisco in
surance executive and prom
inent Stanford alumnus.
His victim was Deena Bonn,
17, a' pretty blonde who at
tended Cubberley High School
in Palo Alto. She died of a
wound in the temple inflicted
by a .22 caliber rifle bullet.
Young Cordry walked into
the Palo Alto police station at
10:46 p.m. Tuesday and calm
ly announced:
"I want to report a killing.
I shot a girl and she's out
there in the car."
Officers found the dead
girl's body in Cordry's blood
spattered 1957 convertible.
"I had an urge to do it,"
he told police. "I've had the
same urge before."
Miss Bonn's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. John E. Bonn, were
near collapse. They were
placed under a physician's
care after they learned of the
shooting. Deena was their
only child.
Cordry, a crew-cut member
of the Stanford tennis team,
told Capt. William Salt of the
Santa Clara County Sheriff's
office that he bought a .22
rifle at a sport shop Tuesday
"for the express purpose of
picking up a girl, killing her.
raping herand then leaving
her Body in the hills."
I "The boy has told us an in
credible story," Salt said.
"He drove around at ran
dom, looking for a girl to
pick up. He was unsuccessful,
so he went home about 10
o'clock. He telephoned Deena
and told her he had to make
a trip north and asked if she
would drive him in his car to
the station and bring the car
home.
Deena agreed and the two
started out. with the girl be
hind the wheel. As they pass
ed the ROTC armory, Cordry
took the rifle, pointed it at
Miss Bonn's head and pulled
the trigger, Salt said.
. "He got out, pushed her
over to the other side of the
car and drove into the Stan
ford foothills for a few min
utes," Salt said. "Then he
thought the better of his plan
and drove to the police sta
tion." There, officers said, he act
ed "as calm as though he were
reporting a minor traffic accident."-

Pauline E. He turns me off 1
like a radio. ,
Frank E. She talks drivel.
Pauline E. My husband
and I have been married 12
years and have three young
sters. I suppose we are con
sidered happy. We have never
had a serious fight. We en
joy going places together
whenever we get the chance.
Just the same, I am quite
unhappy because we never
really talk together. Frank
simply doesn't listen to me.
He turns me off like a radio.
All of a sudden I look at him
and I see he is a million
miles away.
Sometimes I suspect there
is another woman, but Frank
absolutely denies this. But
wouldn't a man listen to his
wife if he really loved her?
Frank E. Yak, yak, yak
yak, yak, yak that's my
wife. From the minute I get
in at night until I leave in
the morning, every waking
moment she's babbling away.
And what drivel! All about
what she said to the neigh
bor and the neighbor said to
her.
I have told Pauline a mil
lion times I hate gossip. I
hate to have to listen to a
lot of nonsense about the
kids. I like quiet when I get
home. That's the least a hard
working man can expect in
his own home.
As for there being another
woman, that's the craziest
yet. Where would I get the
time or money for another
woman?
The Council: Many men are
bored by women's "babbling"
yet they fail to recognize
that they have any respon
sibility in the matter.'
One reason Pauline is
forced to babble, is because
she has no interchange with
her husband. He fails to lis
ten or respond, so she talks
in a vacuum, following the
apparently aimless thread of
her own thoughts.
A woman who is confined
to the home and to the talk
of youngsters all day can't
turn into an interesting con
versationalist in the evening
unless her husband sup
plies her with interesting
facts and ideas. He is her
most important link to the
world outside her home. If
her conversation is dull, it
is probably a reflection of
his emptiness or lack of the
ability to communicate.
Pauline is not so far wrong
when she feels that her hus
band's failure to listen in
dicates a lack of love. When
we turn someone "off like a
radio," we really cancel them
out as human beings. We
close our mind and feelings
against them.
Frank should realize that
he can find something bet
ter than quiet in his home at
the end of his hard day s
work. He. can find the deep
relaxation and renewal that
comes with successful inter
change with others in this
case, Frank's children, as well
as his wife. However, he must
learn to both give and re
ceive. He should come out
from behind the iron- curtain
of his own egoism.
