Washington, Sept 5 (R—A hatchet and gun tragedy left Lieut. Col. Richard B. Creecy dead and his wife horribly wounded in their hotel suite vesterday Police at first constructed an “at- tempted murdersulcide” theory, the marine officer being found on the floor with a bullet through his héart and Mrs. Creecy nearby with her head gashed. Today she lay in emer- gency hospital, fear for her life be- ing felt. Police waited in hope that she would regain consciousness and aid them to learn what happened theory overnight. Detective Edgard J. Kelly, on request of the wealthy Creecy family, started tracing the implements of death—both of which were new. Special Inquiry Ordered Marine corps headquarters order- ed a special board of inquest to in- vestigate. The dead officer, aged 49, was second in command of the Haiti | TYDINGS WILL AID constabulary. He was here on leave. The father, Col. E. C Creecy, aged 84, said his son had an income of approximately $20,000 a year and that Mrs. Creecy was well-to-do. Insgector William S. Shelby, chief of detectives, advanced the possibil- ity that the marine had assaulted his wife and killed himself in a tem- porary fit of insanity. He djscounted a suggestion by the fathe® that the officer had been murdered. ‘When the couple was found, after the officer had been dead approxi- mately 12 hours, Shelby said, the door of the hotel suite was latched from the inside. There was no evi- dence, he added, that anyone had entered the window. Money Not Disturbed A considerable sum of money and some railroad reservations to New York had not been disturbed. Occu- pants of nearby rooms were said not to have heard any disturbance. Shelby said when he entered the room the mnon-service revolver lay near Colonel Creecy’s hand, there were powder burns on chest. There were also blood splotches on his right hand and sim- ilar stains on the hammer of the revolver. Further, Shelby, added, the hatch- et bore a label indicating it had been bought in a small town some dis- tance from Washington, through which Colonel Creecy had passed. The couple visited Lieut. Creecy’s parents Saturday night.
