DEATH PRECIPICE ' H THE EVENING | WENT TO DEATH OVER CLIFF | DRAWS THOUSANDS | Police Keep Morbid Throngs From Climbing Cliff Where “Crazed Man Slew Five. By the Associated Press. NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 23.— Thousands of the morbidly curious yes- terday gazed in horror at towering west rock from which Raymond C. Spang, demented World War veteran, Saturday pitched his wife and four children to their death and climaxed the tragedy two hours later by leaping after them. In Ansonia, far removed from the blood-stained 410-foot cliff the bodies of the victims lay today in a morgue while plans were made for their burial tomorrow morning. ‘The father and mother, Mrs. Gertrude Spang, 34, and the children, ranging in age from 3 to 12 years, will be laid ‘m rest in a single simple funeral serv- ice. Police Guard Ledge. Only a strict watch maintained by police today prevented the more daring of the crowds from making the pre- carious climb down the face of the Toek to the narrow ledge on which Spang took refuge for two hours after | buriing the last of his children to their terrible fate. “Thousands saw the man, plainly out- lined against the dark brown surface, remove one shoe, cross himself and leap out into the air to land at their feet. All the while a fireman, lowered from the summit by a rope, was perched within a few feet of him, + vainly attempting to reason the man out of his mad plan. The crowds yesterday came from all sections of the State, and looked in awe at this mountainous rock, long noted as a beauty spot in the city’s park system. this scenic attraction that mnx selected Saturday, a day after escape from a United States vet- erans’ hospital in the Bronx, New York, for a picnic to celebrate his home- coming. No one saw him park his automobile; no one saw him lure his wife and chil- dren to the edge of the cliff and no one saw him lift the first bewildered | daughter high into the air and send her spinning to the jagged rocks below. Scream Drew Crowd. It was the agonized shrieks of the mother as she attempted to save her second child that brought to those be- . low the first intimation of the tragedy; up, they saw Spang hurl the child downward, then saw him push his wife off the edge of the precipice. A moment later he cast the remain- ing two children down the cliff’s side, but they landed on a ledge a part way down. Spang followed them, picking his way from ledge to ledge, until he reached them. Seemingly caressing each child the demented man hesitated s moment and then flung them to the bottom of the declivity, where the bodies of the others lay. He continued to climb down to a point about 125 feet from the ground, and there he perched mumbling and g stones at the fireman who had been lowered to rescue him. For + two hours he sat there, a white shirt visible against the sandstone cliff, pray- mlnd muttering something about his dren being changed into Negoes. ‘Then he poised himself and dramati- cally carried out his maniacal plan of self-destruction, to tho:pmrrvr of thou- sands attracted to the spot.

REAL SHEIKS FACE REEL AFTER WAR ON LOCUSTS By the Assoclated Press. JERUSALEM, June 23.—In the United States the movies have known about sheiks for years, but a lot of sheiks in the Near East were recovering today from the shock of their first meeting with the movies. They met the cinema, in which they have so frequently been featured, Satur- day at Beersheba, where the govern- ment entertained 5,000 representatives of many Bedouin tribes from Trans- jordania, Sinal and Palestine. The party was in recognition of services rendered by the tribesmen in the recent campaign against the locusts. The sheiks enjoyed a feast for which 300 sheep were killed. Horse and camel races took well with the spectators. An aerial display also furnished a thrill. But the movies proved a new and alarm- says DR.
