-EL PASO HERALD-POST, Monday, April 29, 1957 Page Seven- Artist Pens Dies I Compiled From The Herald-Post's Five Wire Services A despondent, debt-haunted art, 1st at Glendale, committed auicide and left a wry note saying that perhaps his death would make his paintings more valuable, police said today. William Millarc, 37, shot himself in the head Saturday and left a note that read: "My paintings don't meet the bills. Maybe my death will make them valuable enough." Officers said Millarc killed him- lelf with a .38 caliber pistol he brought with him to a dinner "party at the home of friends. His wife, Heydee, 31, said Millarc was "ever worried" about pending bills he didn't have the money pay.
