Meiji . . .

(Cont. from Page One)

Soon afterward Akiko aban­
doned her husband and moved
into an apartment Wakamatsu
rented in Shinjuku in Tokyo.
Around that time he obtained
a license for possessing a hunt­
ing gun. He began to provide his
colleagues with birds he shot to
enjoy with their beer and sake.
Once he added something else
to the merry-making table. He
clubbed a dog to death and cooked it himself.
One day in August, last year,
Wakamatsu flew
into a blind
rage when Akiko left him to live
with one of his co-workers.
“I wanted to blast the guy
pieces with my gun,” he told a
friend.
Instead, he quit the, Takaha­
shi Construction Co. a few days
later and landed a job with Mi­
kio Itoh, a carpenter-contractor
of Kawasaki City near Tokyo.
Then he rented a house in Hi­
no City and filled it with all
the furniture newlyweds need
to start a new life—a pink double
bed, a table and chairs, table
ware, a TV set, a refrigerator,
a washing machine and an oil
heater.
Wakamatsu apparently expect­
ed Akiko to come back to him.
But this never happened.

Meanwhile he began to spend
most of the time at workmen’s
barracks in Fujisawa City since
Itoh and his crew had began
work on a mansion there last
March. On days off, however, he
often returned to his house in
Hino City to look after his furniture.
While working in Fujisawa,
Wakamatsu fell in love with a
daughter of a tavern owner he
frequented with some of his colleagues.
But there was something im
trovert .about him and he could
not tell the girl how he felt about
her.
Around that time his colle­
agues noticed that he was be­
coming irritated and restless. He
filled pipes with gunpowder and
exploded them on the construc­
tion site more often than before.
Finally he asked the owner of
his house to help him. The owner, in turn, got in touch with
Itoh, who sounded out the parents of the daughter. The answer was a flat no.
Often after that he was seen
recklessly driving a rent-a-car.
That was about two weeks
before his time bomb exploded
on the train. (Shukan Asahi).
