TEN HERALD AND NEWS Monday, Oct. 8. 194S LOVE TRIANGLE CLIMAXED WITH 'S SUCIQE SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8 (ff) Dr. John H. Mansfcldt has joined in death the nurse Ills wile has been charged with murdering in a tragic climax to a supposed love triangle. The body of the 48-year-old prominent San Francisco physi cian was found Sunday morning slumped in the front scat of his car, parked at the top of a cliff in a remote ocean front picnic ground 10 miles south ol this city. Took Poison Deputy Coroner Ida M. Lass well said he had been dead for three days. Evidence showed he had taken his own life with a powerful poison within a few hours of the time his wife, Annie Irene, 45, had been charged witn the murder of Mrs. Vada Martin, the woman she believed was the rival for her husband's affec tions. Mrs. Mansfcldt collapsed in the city jail when she was told of her husband s deatn. "I killed him. 1 killed my husband! Nothing can help me now. I killed him and l wasn i even right. He's gone and I loved him so,", she screamed Incoherently. "Dead Inside" "Oh what will happen to my poor babies? (her three 'teen-age cnuaren;. say wnoie me is eone I'm dead inside." At first the stricken woman refused treatment, but later she was transferred by court order to a psychopathic ward in the counry nospuai ior ooserva-ion." Discovery of Dr. Mansfeldt's body ended a state-wide search for the physician after his dis appearance Thursday. He had appeared for a few moments at t the Central Emergency nospuai to identify his wife, stared brief ly and silently at her and then drove away. Body Huddled Grotesquely George Lewis, proprietor ol the Shelter Cover resort, found the doctor's body huddled grotes quely on the front seat of his sedan. A stethoscope dangled from the pocket of his coat. Near him lay an empty vial of poison and in the glove compartment . of the car were two drained bot tles of a powerful pain-killing narcotic. Also in the compart ment was a glass-barreled hypo . dermic which appeared to bear traces of the drug. - There was no suicide note in the car. Lewis told authorities he saw the doctor drive up to the iso lated spot Thursday, get out and stand for a few moments with his back to the ocean seemingly in deep thought, and then get back in the car. Was Jealous Woman Mrs. Annie Irene Mansfeldt, 46, wife of San Francisco, Calif., society doctor, who faces charge of murdering Mrs. Wada Mar tin, special nurse, whom she suspected of having an affair with her husband. Too late. Mrs. Mansfeldt told police she is convinced of her victim's innocence. Nllllllf lill llllllllllllllllillIPI mil "I dismissed the incident from my mind, because I assumed the man was going fishing. Then this morning my son, Bob, re turned from Santa Cruz and -said the sedan, apparently unoccu pied, was still there. I thought this was strange, so the two of us went up the hill to investi gate," Lewis said. Identification Made Positive identification of the body was made by Dr. Mans feldt's brother-in-law, Otto Son- nenoerg of .Larkspur, and his at torney, Vincent Hallinan. An autopsy to determine the 1 type of poison taken by the physician was performed later Sunday by Dr. Stuart Lindsay of the University of California, who said results were inconclus ive. Viscera samples were turned over for analysis to Joseph Swim, San Francisco toxicologist. Dr. Mansfeldt's death con firmed the fears of his wife, who repeated incessantly alter her imprisonment that she was cer tain he had done away with him self or he would have come to her side. The auburn-haired society matron will appear in municipal court October 10 for a hearing on me muraer cnarge. Her physical condition was so raor at her arraignment last Friday that Judee Edward Molkenbuhr ordered a postponement. Bv JOAN O'NEILL Saturday night was a big night down at the Teen-age club. Quite a few freshmen turned out even though tlie publicity on the at fair had not been extensive. The idea that night was to teach some of the freshmen how to dance. The upper classmen danc cd with freshmen most of the evening. Many of the freshmen ex pressed the feeling that they liked the idea and the upper clnssmcn were a bit bitter that they hadn't had something like that when they were freshmen, One of the upperclassmcn voiced the opinion that by the time the kids down at the club Saturday night were juniors and seniors they ought to have a class that will be really active in tilings up at school. As it stands now not enough of the boys in any of the classes know how to dunce or at least feel they don't, and the result is that a great percentage of the kids don t attend the school dances. The Freshman night was deemed a success by several members of the TAC committee and the freshmen, too, so it is to become a part of the TAC from now on. The committee mem bers hope to have a dance like mat twice a monin. Ashland Drills Ashland sent their band and twirling squad over along with the Grizzly team Friday night. Ashland put on a drill at the halftime which was exceptional ly good. One thing especially noted about their drill was the twirl ing group. Those girls moved with precision and they knew how to whirl those batons, too.
