WORAN STRANGELY " KILLED AT PIGNIC Careless Hunter Sought in Somer- yille, N. 4., Fatality Somerville, N. J., Aug. 27.—Bowl- ing merrily along a road in the out- skirts of Bound Brook, a few miles from here, watching for a place to pienic yesterday, Mrs, Mary Gehlen, without a ery, slipped from the front seat of her husband’'s automobile to the floor of the car. A tiny hole in the side of her head showed where a small calibre bullet had entered. Whence it came no one in the party could tell ,and after investigation it remained last night as great a mys «tery to the county police. It was a merry company of four \that started out yesterd morning from 376 Park avenue, Hast Orange, the home of Mr. and Mrs, Henry Gehlen. With these two were their daughter and son-in-law. Mr. and Mrs. John Kramer. They had no particular program except to drive through the prettiest country they could find. They took a lunch with them, and intended to stop at some suitable spot when they got hungry. Shortly after noon they approached Bound Brook and were beginning to look for their picnic grounds. Some distance from the town they crossed a bridge over Green Brook, a tribu- tary of the Raritan river. Between the bridge and the first buildings 'of Bound Brook the road stretch along low meadowlands on one and along ground used as a munici- pal dump on the other. [Iinding nothing suitable in that neighborhood, the party hastened along to get !through the town. Killed In Seat As the car sped through this stretch there was a sharp report that might have been a blowout. But al- | most at the same instant a glass panel !in the sedan was shattered and Mrs. Gehlen fell. Her husband jammed \ the brakes, and as the car stopped he | lifted her from the floor. She was unconscious. Mrs, Gehlen was lifted to the back seat and, while her daughter and son- in-law made frantic efforts to re- vive her, Mr. Gehlen raced his motot four miles to Somerset hospital heré. Physicians took her to the operating table but she died within an hour without regaining consciousness. An autopsy perforced by Dr. William H. Long, county physician, showed that death was caused by a calibre bullet, which had entered her brain. | The body was taken to the local un- | dertaking establishment of John Max- well, whence it was sent tonight ‘oi the East Orange home. County Prosecutor A. M. Beckman and County Detective George Totten | started an investigation as soon as| they got a report of the shooting. A | possible explanation they thought at first was that the bullet had come from the rifie of some person hunting along Green Brook or in the marshy meadow land. This seemed likely as it i1s known that boys often go there to shoot muskrats and swamp birds. But a search of the vicinity failed to disclose a youth who might have fired the shot. Another Clue Found. ’ Another clue was found in the dumping ground. The authorities re- membered that an ammunition store burned down some time ago and that much of the debris was carried therc. They thought it possible that the ex- plosion of a discarded cartridge had caused the death. This theory gained | support when a visit to the dumping | ground late in the afternoon showed | that it was on.fire in several places. Firearm experts, however, de- clared they did not believe a loose cartridge, discharged in such a man- | ner, would have the force to pene-| trate a glass window and kill anyone. But it was conceivable, they said, that a loaded revolver had been thrown away among other things. It could be discharged by fire, they declared, with enough force to kill. It was too late yesterday afternoon to search for such a weapon, but the police said they wovld make a sys- tematic hunt for it today. In the meantima they did not give up the theory that a careless hunter's rifle was responsible, and were scouring the countryside for him last night. GARA IEN BANKRUPT.
