Married Man Kills Two
Teen-Age Sweethearts,
Surrenders to Police
DAYTON, Ohio, UR—Police said !
a married man involved in a ro-!
manlic quadrangle has admitted i
killing his two teen-age sweet-!
hearts because he was afraid his J
wife would find out about them.
The bodies of Miss Beverly Ann
Eldred, 17, and Mrs. Deanna Jean
Fouch, 1I6, both of Dayton, were
found by a motorist alongside a
road near here yesterday. They
had been shot.
A sheriff’s office spokesman
said Robert Crites, 31-year-old
father of four, admitted in a
signed statement he killed the
girls.
Crites said in the statement he
didn’t want the girls to do to oth
ers what they had done to him.
He said he had spent much time
and money on them.
The statement also mentioned
that Crites intended to take the
girls’ bodies to Colorado and,
while there, kill his wife's sister
because “she’s just like the other
two.” But he abandoned the idea.
After shooting the girls, Crites
drove to his mother’s home and
called the police and gave himself
up.

Aluminum Reflectors
The expense of erecting tall
towers over the high mountains
of the Pine Pass was overcome by
installing a set of three reflectors.
These are large sheets of firmly
anchored aluminum which reflect

of only three percent of power.
There are 17 transmitting tow
ers in the system, some of them
erected under difficult conditions.
The highest tower is the 250
feet-high transmitter station at
Williams Lake.
