POLICE SEEK MOTIVES FOR WANDERER GRIME; DELAY INDICTMENTS

rmrARO. Jnl-r 13 Tlelav In nre-

sentatlon of the two grand jury in- i dlctments voted against Carl Wanderer, was secured by police today to permit further Investigation of Wanierer's motive for shooting his wife and the unidentified stranger he had hired for a fake robbery. The Indictments will be brought up before Judge Crowe later this week, police said, and meanwhile they are seeking another woman In the case and attempting to Identify the hired "robber". The mental test taken of Wanderer soon after the murders will be used In court in the event that at the trial he makes a plea of Insanity at the time of the murders, the police say. The physicians who examined him said that they had not fully concluded their test, but that they had decided so tar that Wanderer Is sane and that his motive for the crime Is still unknown. Police Sergeant John Norton said that throughout the inquiry into the murder they were confronted by Wanderer's love for money and his desire to return to the army. Go Through His Letters

The police today shifted their at-

tention to the ex-lieutenant s letters. From those and from his friends, police say, they learned that he had

many friendships with girls, some of

which ran concurrently with his mar rled life.

Among them appeared the name of

Grace Horne, a girl whom he knew before his marriage, according to his

sister, Mrs. Hattie Roth, and Laura Wanderer, and Pearl C. Pearson, a

cousin. They told police Miss Horne may be able to shed some light on the

case. "I believe that Carl Is insane," Mrs

Roth said. "Our mother killed her

self after having been Insane for six years and Carl once tried to throw himself from a fire escape at the

county hospital while confined there with scarlet fever. He must have been

out of his mind when he 1 'lied Ruth, but this is no reason why he should

not pay the penalty."

Among the letters found by the police was one of a puzzling nature

signed "Anonymous" couched in en dearlng terms.

Wanderer declared he could tell no motive for the crime other than his

desire to return to the army.

CITY BOND RATE IS RAISED TO 7 PER CENT

An ordinance authorizing a tem
