      His Wife
      Raymond C. Spang
      In Ansonia, Conn., Raymond C. Spang, maniac depressive, returned home to his wife and four children after escaping from a New York veterans' hospital. To celebrate the reunion he took them on a picnic to West Rock, 400-ft. precipice near New Haven. Small boys playing baseball below saw Maniac Spang lift up his son Donald, 4, pitch him over the cliff, disappear, reappear, toss down his remaining children?Helen, Lorraine, Raymond. Maniac Spang then grappled with his wife, kicked her over too. After firemen had chased and tried to reason with him, Maniac Spang poised on a ledge, lifted his arms, gracefully dived off to join his dying family.
