SUICIDE OF DOGTOR PUZZLES OFFICIALS Brooklyn Hospital Executive Found in New Hampshire Hotel With Wrists Cut. By the Associated Press PORTSMOUTH, N. H., January 28.— Dr. Claymor H. Magna, jr., medical su- perintendent of Kings County Hospital, Brooklyn, N. Y. committed suicide by slashing his wrists and arms with a razor blade Tuesday night in a Ports- mouth hotel. His body was found by a chambermaid shortly before noon yes- terday. Only 36 years old and considered one of the most capable hospital executives ir. the country, Dr. Magna's death proved a puzzle to his friends and as- sociates in Brooklyn, while police here were equally at a ioss for a motive. They searched the hotel room thor- oughly. in the belief that Dr. Magna might have left a note explaining his act, but none was found. The finding of the body ended a search which began Monday, when Dr. Magna disappeared from Brooklyn.
