His pockets contained only 69 cents, although it was known he had a roll of bills with him when he sterted away, The investigators figured that lhe might have been robbed on the way home, and received his wound in @ struggle with a highw: but this would scarcely account for his suicide. The white soft shirt, with attached eollar, which he had worn, was badly goiled. The o@liar and cuffs were almost bl: ‘Rs though from filthy hands.
