When Climer was operated on a front portion of the skull was re- moved and with it part of his brains, For sometime he wore a plaster paris cast, but even this he now sees fit to discard at times, leaving his head without protection. Yet he has apparently exper- ienced no ill effects. When George F. Radden, Casper policeman, was thrown from his mo- torcycle Nov. 16, his head struck a rock and he suffered a fracture of the skull from which he died three days later. Radden was the officer who an- swered the call at 253 South Lowell street the night of Oct. 11 and found there the body of Mrs. Climer and Climer with a gun in his hand, ac- cording to reports. Climer was so little affected by the wound he ts said to have inflicted upon himself, that he helped Radden push the motorcycle out of the mud a few minutes later.
