Former Baseball Slar Takes Own life With Gun

ATLANTA. Ga.. July 2 - (AP) - A shotgun blast, heard clearly hy his wife over a phone line, early today killed former baseball star Hush Casey I few d after he denied anew that he fathered an illegitimate son.

The 38-year-old onetime relief Ditching ace of Brooklyn Dodgers fired a charge from a 16-gauge shotgun into his neck at 1 A. M.

The roar cut short his estrang- eu wife's desperate arguments against suicide and it was heard also by a close friend hurrying to Caseyls hotel room to balk the killing.

Last words of the veteran of 11 years in the major leagues. as re- norted by his estranged wife, Kathleen. were:

"I am completely innocent of those charges."

He referred to a claims by Hilda Welssman of Brooklyn that he was intimate with her in Febru- ary. 1949, and fathered her child. born out of wedlock. A court fn New York upheld her claims last year. -

At her home. Miss Welasman. 25, said "I'm very sorry, very sorry - It's all so terrible." She now is married to Philip Wein- stein. 24.

Casey's last denial. followed im- medlately by the crash of the shotgun's discharge. ended 15 min- utes of dramatic pleadings by Mrs. Casey. This met laughing assur- ances from the athlete that he was "ready to die-ready to go."

Shortly before phoning Mrs. Casey from his hotel room. Casey called it frlend. Gordon McNabb. to tell him of his suicide plans.

Mrs. Casey. 34, said her husband retumed repeatedly to the pater- nity action and once said:

"I can't. eat. or sleep since going through all the embarassment . . . and I had to drag you through it .. ."

A bellhop at the hotel said Casey told him he had only a. few days to live because of a heart valve leakage but his wife said he never had complained to her.

"What he seemed to feel most was that this was his first year out of baseball," she said. adding that he had expressed some con- cern because his restaurant In Brooklyn was not doing as well as he had hoped.

In the 1947 World Series. Casey set two records which still stand -- for most games pitched in a single series. six. and for most games finished in a series. also six.

Red Cross Swimming Classes Open

Brighton Beach was the scene of great activity yesterday morning as the Red Cross Swimming and Water Safety Instructors began their season's classes. Ma-ny chil- dren had their initial swimming lesson and many swimmers came again for more coaching.

However, even though the num- bers were large there was a sense of good order and discipline. This was due to the fact that most of the pupils enrolled at the nearest playground and came to the bath house under the leadership of the playground supervisors.

The Charlottetown Playground Commission is cooperating in this regard with the Red Cross in the S. W. S. program. Mr. Wendell Barrett. Mia Joan Bulmar and Miss Mildred Walker were rcp- resenting the Playground in this activity yesterday.

The

Red Cross Instructor: on hand at the Bath House were Mlu Felice Arsenault. Mr. Paul Cud- more. Miss Lois Araennult. Min Joan Wood, Mia: Jane Glddlngl. Mica Anne Horne. Mr. George Mac- Gulgan, all of Charlottetown. and Mr. John Mullnll-y of sourla.

Mr. Mullally has been engaged by the town of Sourls to direct the aquatic program there for July and August. He II lpendlng I few days with the Charlottetown classed before beginning his work In aourls.
