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.

"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.
Deller Back
Paul Deller, freshman football
coach and civics teacher at
KUHS, returned to school today
after an illness that has kept him
out of school since the beginning
of school. Mr. Deller has not
completely recovered, but he is
