PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec, 4.—Upon the contents of a letter unstamped and left In the box of the head of the firm, hinges he mystery which eurrounds the death of Howard T.

He was in the best of health and spirits yesterday afternoon when I last saw him. He had no financtal troubles, He Feared a Pistol. “But the one thing above, all others chat makes me doubt the suicide theory fs the fact that my brother-in-law hated @ pistol. He would never have onw around the house and had he decided to dle he would have used some other means. Besides there are other points in the case. In looking at the lounge in the back’ office, where his body was found, I feel sure that he didn't die quickly, and had he been trying to kill himseif’ he would have fired a second shot. As it was ho must have slowly bled to death. The revolver found in his hand doesn't convince me, as. it would have beeh an easy matter for some one else to have placed {t there." James McKnight, a railroad oficial at No. % South Fifteenth street, and an intimate friend of Mr. Goodwin, looked at the case in the same way. He sald “I eannot belleve Mr. Goodwin com- mitted suicide. He had no reason for doing so.
