Henry B. Bedford, a 58-year-old school principal, confessed to strangling Mrs. Mattie Bengert and her 8-year-old son Garl, then placed the infant in a gas-filled oven where the child died, and attempted suicide by gas. He claimed the killings followed rejection by Mrs Bengert after a love affair. Found by husband Carl Bengert, the bodies were discovered after a quarrel over Bedford's presence. Bedford later revived and admitted the crime, stating the motive arose from the woman's refusal to return to her husband.
