George Montgomery won a
struggle for his life Tuesday
when he returned home and
was confronted by a love'
struck former maid with a
gun. Montgomery had to dodge
one bullet that passed only
inches from his ear, detectives
said.
Ruth Wenzel, 37, who
Montgomery said was employ
ed by him and his former
wife, singer Dinah Shore

on murder-suicide, according

be under medical care," Mont
gomery, 47, said. He added
that Miss Wenzel had been
dismissed after working for
him about eight months be
cause of her "erratic behav
ior." Police said Miss Wenzel had
been in the home for two
days awaiting Montgomery's
return from a six-week trip.
The actor said he saw her
when he first entered his
home in this San Fernando
Valley community and ran
after her into a bedroom.
Gun Fired
There Miss Wenzel pulled a
38-caliber revolver from un
der a pillow, police said. Mont
gomery and the woman strug
gled for several moments and
the gun fired once before he
was able to subdue her.
Detectives said they found
a note which Miss Wenzel had
apparently written which said
she didn't want Montgomery
"fooling around with celebrity
girls and ruining his reputation."
The former maid, who came
to this country from Dussel
dorf, Germany, about seven
years ago, also indicated in
the note that she had intend
ed to kill Montgomery and
then herself.
Miss Wenzel was charged
with assault with a deadly
weapon. Montgomery was di
vorced by Miss Shore, who
since has remarried, in May,
1962. They had two children,
Melissa, IS, and John, 9.

occurrence of the silver fir
in the Copper Butte area at
the head of the west forks
of Dutch creek.
In an article by Dr. Haddock
in 1961 published in "Forest
Science," he told of the oc
currence of Pacific silver fir
in the Marble mountains in
Siskiyou county. Prior to this
time it had been thought that
Pacific silver fir did not grow
that far south.
Determine Occurrence
The professor commented
"it would be of interest to
determine the nearest occur
rence of Pacific silver fir to
the north, since range maps
show the southernmost sta
tion to be some where well
north of the Oregon border."
Parker contacted Dr. Had
dock followingl the article's
appearance. Parker's discov
ery of the silver fir was
prompted in I960 by Oliver
V. Matthews, Salem, dendrol
ogist, when he asked Parker
to look for similar alpine fir
on the head of Joe creek in
the Siskiyou mountains near
Blue Ledge mine.
After two trips into the
area, once accompanied by
Lloyd Tyson Jr., surveyor for
the city of Medford, Parker
sent photographs and her
barium specimens to Dr.
John H. Thomas, associate
curator of Dudley herbarium
at Stanford university, who
confirmed the identification.
Location Established
On the trip Aug. 17 with
Dr. Haddock, positive loca
tion and botanical data on
the trees were established.
At the same time other trees
were observed by binoculars
at the head of Joe creek
which are believed to be sil
ver fir.
Further investigation may
discover alpine fir in the re
gion, it was noted. The only
known occurrence of alpine
fir in the Siskiyou mountains
is near the summit of Ml.
Ashland.
Dr. Haddock believes that
close investigation of the
north slopes in the Siskiyou
mountains above 6,000 feet
that are not to steep may re
veal more sprinklings of sil
ver fir or alpine fir south to
the Trinity mountains.
Parker, who became inter
ested in silviculture a num
ber of yeass ago, had an ar
ticle on the geographic over
lap of noble fir and red fir
published in the "Forest Sci
ence" magazine in June this
year.
