Indianapolis Man First to Give Tip on Identity of Girl Slayer

WANDA ELAINE STOPA

DETROIT, Mich., April 26.—Wanda Elaine Stopa, the beautiful young girl attorney, who Wednesday descended on Chicago in a murder frenzy and shot Henry Manning to death in his attempt to save the life of Mrs. Genevie Hawley Smith, wife of the man she loved, is dead—a suicide. She swallowed poison yesterday afternoon at the Hotel Statler, where she had registered as Mrs. Theodore Glascow. First inkling that she ■was the woman sought by the Chicago police was given to the Hotel management by Eugene J. Chloupek, a traveling salesman of Indianapolis. Chloupex saw Miss Stopa as she was writing in the lobby of the hotel and identified her from newspaper photographs. He immediately notified the management. When Chloupek returned with the manager, the girl was gone. They went to her room and found the door locked. The two men were preparing to force their way in when she swallowed the poison and called thp physicians. She was dead when the doctor arrived. Recognition by Chloupek is believed to have hastened the plans of the girl. She had registered at the Statler before she made her trip to Chicago and police believed that she had planned tc slay Smith and his wife, retreat to Detroit and at leisure end her life. Find Love Letter A letter addressed to "Dear Wand Jean" and signed “Henley" was found in the room. It had been sent from the Hotel Pennsylvania, New York. “I have been successful in everything but forgetting. In which I am like an omelet with the ham left out, at least.” said the letter. ”1 looked in the shop windows today for something you would like, but didn’t-see anything. One hat was possible, but how could I confirm it without the little Polish bean to check up by? “‘Check up by’ is undoubtedly the world's worst locution, but, along with my ego, I have lost my talent. Don't tell Durham, or he might demand a rebate, to which he is thoroughly entitled. “Polka, I hope you have been a little better these last few days. I pray that I may yet be the springboard from which you dive into the lake of song, laughter and happiness. I pray without a god, but none the less hard, for that.” MOTHER IS PROSTRATED Body Will Be Brought to Chicago for Burial. By United Press CHICAGO, April 26.—The body of Wanda Stopa, the beautiful and brilliant girl-lawyer, who tried to kill the man she loved and then committed suicide in Detroit to evade arrest for killing a gardener, will be brought back here for burial, her mother stated today. The mother, Mrs. Harriett Stopa, is prostrated with grief. When word of the suicide was brought to her, Mrs. Stopa became hysterical and cried: “I want my little girl; oh, my poor little girl,” and fainted. TELEPHONED HIS WIFE Indianapolis Man Who Identified Miss Stopa Lives in E. Forty-Fourth St. Eugene J. Chloupek, traveling salesman, of Indianapolis, who was first to identify Miss Wanda Stopa as the girl-slayer sought by the Chicago police, lives at 720 E. Fourty-Fourth St. He telephoned his wife last evening and told her the story of how he recognized the girl.
