Thnk kY LadNG MUTILATION CASE SUICIDE INDICATED Note Signed “Mandeville” Reported as Suitor Is Widely Hunted. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, August 1—A suicide note signed “Mandeville” was found | today in the search for Manceville Zenge, 26, wanted for questioning in| the mutilation-killing of Dr. Walter J. Bauer. On a coat containing the note were spots which Police Capt. John Stege said were “unmistakably blood stains,” with more on a handkerchief found in | the breast pocket. The note was turned over to police | in the midst of a four-State search for Zenge, a disappointed suitor for the hand of Bauer's pretty 23-year-| old widow, Louise, a Kirksville, Mo., nurse. Found by Driver, John Giannini, cab driver, found it, he reported, in clothing left behind by & passenger he drove to navy pier, on Chicago’s near North Side, about 10:45 o'clock last night Unhappy About “Louise.” Penciled in a red notebook, the | note was dated July 31, and addressed to “Dear Dad.” It said | “I left home because I was so mis- | erably unhappy over losing Louise that I couldn't get along with any one and was making every one un- happy at home. | “Thought maybe if I could get up here I could forget. But I can’t and I'm going to end it all. Don't let Louise know about this. as I love her. | “I don't want to make her un- happy. I suppose she is better off married to that doctor than she would have been with me. | “She told me before I came up here the was happy and I am glad for her “Dad, I guess I have something lacking in me. It seems like I have failed in everything I ever tried to do. However, this is one thing in which I am going to succeed. | “Tell mother, June, Lottie and Aunt Nellie good-by for me. Also Louise. | ©Oh. I love that girl. There was never | and never will be a girl like her. | “Dad. you and mother have been good to me. So have June and Lottie. Dad. I have a $5.000 insurance policy in the top left hand drawer of your desk. “With it you can finish sending June ‘to law school.

I'm sorry I can't pay you the money I borrowed from you, but you have the car which 1 hope you will enjoy. “However, I believe you could use the money better. Tell Lloyd and Eileen good-by for me. “I am going to take a cab to the lake and jump in. Will leave this in my coat in the cab and the police or some one will send it to you. By dad. “Your son, “MANDEVILLE,” Capt. Stege said he had,po doubt that the note was authentic. He, said: “I believe Zenge wrote this nn(e because he describes his home.” | 4 * * However, we won't consider | him drowned until the body is found ‘This looks like the same stunt that Marty Durkin pulled a few years ago.” Durkin, a Chicago gangster, who shot a Federal agent, left his clothing on a Lake Michigan beach with a suicide note, but was later captured. The discovery of the note was re- ported after an inquest into Bauer's death had been postponed until Au- gust 25 for further investigation The police today received a tele- phone message from Lieut. Loomis of the Michigan State police, identi- fying a photograph of Zenge as the man who registered in the Jennings Hotel, in Ann Arbor, under the name of Jones. Dr. Bauer’s widow, a nurse em- ployed in a Kirksville, Mo., hospital, Burried to Chicago and was ques- | tioned briefly. She was in a hysteri- €al condition, but told the police she | had kept company with Zenge for several years before her marriage to | Dr. Bauer July 14. She also said | she was to have met her husband Wwithin a few days for a belated honey- moon. Surprised at Wedding. Mrs. Bauer, 23, arrived here last night, accompanied by several Kirks- | ville, Mo., police. She told the police | bere that early last week she saw Zenge and that he seemed surprised when she told him she was married. “He uked me if I were happy,” she said, “and when I told him I v\as he just wished me luck and drove off | fn his car.” Mrs. Bauer identified the hat nnd eoat as Zenge's and, after reading the | note, wilted into the arms of her| father, W.
