Read More	(Los Angeles Times, July 17, 1934) MAN KILLS DAUGHTER, THEN DIES Nurse Shot Down at Door of Patients' Home as She Starts to Greet Parent. Invading the home where Viola Dwyer, 23-year-old trained nurse, was taking care of an elderly couple, a man later identified as her father shot and killed the girl last night, then ran out and was found dead a few moments later without a mark on him in the rear of a house half a block away. CALLED ON PHONE The shooting took place in the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Prohaska at 1225 South Kingsley Drive. Earlier, Miss Dwyer, who lived at 5744 Franklin avenue, had received a telephone call from her father, Ervin Dwyer, 45 years of age, of 110 West Fourteenth Place, and a member of the Prohaska household had heard the nurse exclaim in surprise over the fact that her father had found out where she was working. NOTE FOUND IN POCKET When the doorbell at the Prohaska home rang last evening, the nurse answered. Her "hello" to the caller was answered with two revolver shots. The nurse ran into the kitchen and collapsed, while her father ran to the rear of 1201 South Kingsley Drive, where he was found dead a few moments later. In his pocket was found a vituperative note to his daughter in which he complained that "you have never done what I wanted you to do." No Headstone
