Inquest Not Necessary There has been a number of rumors afloat in Key West re- garding the fatal shooting of Mr. and Mrs. Edward T. Russell the night of April 20, so the Citizen asked W. Curry Harris, assistant states attorney, for an opinion. Harris says that an inquest was not held because the authorities, who could have called for the inquest, were convinced that Rus- sell first shot and killed his wife and then turned the weapon on himself. “We were all convinced that no one other than Russell could have killed his wife", said Harris. “Since he was seen by a neigh- bor when he shot himself, there was really no necessity for hold- ing an inquest. We saved the } county considerable money by not calling an inquest. “The authorities only call an inquest when they are convinced that* one is necessary. In other words, when we are convinced that someone was murdered or something culpable happened.” Russell died the following morning of the self-inflicted bul- let wound.
