Mrs. Hampton made this ad mission, police said, to oiii- cers investigating the fatal shooting of Wolfgang. Ludwig Marx, 26, in a physics labora tory on the University of California campus early Tues day. Her husband,; John W. Hampton, 31. a brilliant re search chemist, was arraigned Wednesday on a murder charge. He will enter a plea next Tuesday in' Municipal Court. Hampton said he shot Marx because Marx had been hav-' ing a love affair with his wife, police said. He said he "couldn't stand it any more." Mrs. Hampton was in seclu sion with her three children at the home of a friend. Po lice quoted her as saying: "I never had a real lover until Wolfgang came along." Marx, a German immigrant, "came along" in the fall of 1955 when he enrolled at the university as a physics ma jor. The Hamptons invited him to live at their home os tensibly so the German-born Mrs. Hampton could brush up on her German.

It was the first quadruple birth in the history of Letter man hospital arid according to. statistics, there won't be another for 760 years.
