She had been dead more than a month. The body had been badly torn by wild animals. Bullet Wound Not Fatal. | A gruesome touch was added to ()lei slaying when the county autopsy sur- geon found that the bullet wound in the head of the young woman would not necessarily have been fatel had fiht‘l been given immediate medical treat- ment. | The surgeon said it was possible that | the bullet merely blinded and stunned | her and that she might have lived as long as three days. finally dying slowly and in agony. Under vigorous questioning Beitzel told the police he had separated from | his wife and his two small sons when he met Miss Mauger-—whose name he[ first gave as Barbara Morrow-—-a wait- ress in a Philadelphia cafe. He became infatuated with ber. He confessed that he stole $300 from the safe of the Phil- adelphia_dry goods store of which he was credit manager and the pair came to Hollywood, where they lived together. On June 24, he said, while in his automobile in the hills above Hollywood, just a few hundred yards from the spot where the body was found, they had a | quarrel and she leaped from the car and disappeared.

MEXICO: CITY, August 4-—Jose de Leon Toral is quoted by El Universal Grafico as expressing remorse over hav- ing assassinated Presldent-elect Alvarc Obregon. The Interviewer, however, found that the slayer remains indif- | ferent to the possibility of dying before a firing squad to pay for his crime. Toral was asked: “Now that you have learned Obregon intended settling the religious question and was a good man, are you SOrry you killed him?" With his eyes fixed on & corner of his cell, Toral replied slowly and thought- fully, “Yes, I am remorseful for not having thought with mnecessary ampii- | tude about the matter and also for not having learned before these facts about the general.” Previously in the interview Toral had repeated in effect what he had said before—that solely “religious passion caused him to decide to kill Obregon, because he considered him le.-»punslbh‘!l_. for “religious persecution.” Has Religious Faith. said he whispered n ‘Toral with a prayer upon his lips pulled the trigger of the pistol. He was confident his act would further the “reign of Christ, the King in Mexico.” Obregon’s winning smile caused him to hesitate, Toral revealed. As he showed Obregon the cartoon he had drawn and was reaching for his pistol Obregon looked up at him and smiled fleetingly. It was the kindly, friendly smile tor which the President-elect was famous. Toral found the smile so charming that he felt a flash of uncer- tainty. Then he remembered he was doing what he considered God's work, prayed and fired. Yes, he loved his wife and children, his father and mother, Toral said. He reflected fully on the consequences to them of his killing Obregon. But his religious passion was stronger than love for .any relatives, stronger than any- thing in life. Therefore, he continued steadfast in his determination to kil Obregon. “I fire said Toral. “Afterward I remembered and have thought much of that smile upon Gen. Obregon's face when he Jooked at me just before I | shot. Confronted by Calles. “I was aware somewhat vaguely of being taken away and carried to jail.
