ANNAPOLIS, Md, August 12.—No theory but suicide is likely to be sug- gested to the coroner’s jury in the case of Clitton Borneman, 30-year-old farmer of Arnolds, mear Annapolis, when it meets upon the call of Justice John W. Anderson tomorrow afternoon. Borneman, whd a little over a month ago reported that he had been waylaid and assaulted on the Baltimore- Annapolis boulevard a few days after his marriage, was found dead Sunday morning with a gunshot wound in his side. About 35 feet away a double- barreled shotgun containing two dis- charged shells was found, and there was no doubt that the fatal wounds had been inflicted with this weapon. Apparently, Borneman, after receiv- ing the frightful wounds, had crawled to the point whe:2 he had died and where his body was found. It was explained that the shots had not touched his heart, though the entire portion of his chest to the front of it nad been lacerated. g Just how the other barrel had been fired, while the shot frcm only one | touched Borneman, is one of the things to be explained. It has been sug- gested that the impulse to suicide was a sudden one after the first barrel had been discharged or that Borneman had tried out the gun by firing the first cartridge as a test. According to the officials, who viewed the body before it was moved, Borne- man might have moved the trigger with his toe or with a stick or small branch, or even by reaching it with his hand. The latter theory is born out by the fact that the imprint of the other bar- rel on Borneman'’s chest was found just to the side of the point where the shot entered. According to his friends, Borneman has been greatly worried by the series of events in which he figured, first his marriage and the opposition of his Fashion Park Tropical Worsted Suits (3-piece) Most exclusive weaves and models; tailored at Fashion Park.

Officials and some otherrs id not fully accept his statements in regard to the attack on July 5, while his friends rallied around him blamed the officials for inactivity. The whole affair appear- ed to keep Borneman in a melancholy condition and within the last few days it was noticed that he seemed to be losing control of himself, This, accord- ing to his friends, resulted in un- balancing him and causing the impulse to_suicide. ‘What may be brought out at the coroner’s inquest tomorow afternoon, is awaited with interest.

Special Dispatch to The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., August 12— General approval was given the plan of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission for the pro- posed park along the Northwest Branch and the Anacostia River from the Queens Chapel road to the Washington- Baltimore boulevard at & public meeting held last night in the public library in the Municipal Building. As a result, it is thought likely that the plan will formally adopted by the commission at its meeting Thursday in the Tower Building, Washington. It was explained by commission of- ficlals that the State Legislature had appropriated $100,000 for the purchase of park land in Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties, $50,000 being al- loted each county. It was stated it Prince Georges $50,000 would give it & start on the Northwest Branch Park project, the first to be launched in this county. The commission already has the offers, at favorable prices, of some 40 acres of the approximately 200 required for the project. 1t is specified that the $50,000 alloted the county is only for the purpose of acquiring land and none can be used for sonstruction work. Thus, it was ex- plained, funds for making the park a reality must be provided by the county commissioners through the levy of a sufficient park tax. ‘Under the law, before the commission can buy lands for park purposes it must designate what land it is proposed to urchase and hold & public hearing in the matter before the scheme is for- mally ldog':jd. Irving ’:IE' chairman of the com- mission; T. Howard Duckett, member of the commission; Irving C. Root, chief engineer, and Daniel Cox Fahey, who has been working to secure the neces- opérty, were among those attend- ing last nights meeting.

NEW POLICE CARS Second Precinct Patrol Will Be Motorized When Ma- chines Are Delivered. A requisition for 30 new light roadster automobiles was signed yesterday by Maj. Henry G, Pratt, superintendent of police. When the machines are deliv- ered, about September 1, the experiment of doing away with foot patrolmen in the second precinct and substituting for them patrolmen riding in automobiles will begin. Seven machines will be used in this work. Although the number of new cars is 30, the net increase in the depart- ment’s rolling stock will be only 18, as 12 of them will be used to replace worn- out cars. Eleven cars will be used to replace the patrols formerly covered by horse-mounted policemen. ‘The motorized patrol in the second precinct is an innovation sponsored by Gen. Herbert B. Crosby, police com- missioner. It will be extended to other precincts if it proves successful. The bid recommended by Maj. Pratt was the high bid. This was approved by Controller General J. Raymond Mc- Carl, as the low bidder did not comply with a specification calling for non- :gltttmble glass in the windshields of e cars.
