FRIENDS OF THE DEAD MAN Who VOW THINK HIS
DEATH WAS DUE TO AccIpEST--ooaoNrR PAT
TKRsoN SAYS THE MURDER THEORY Is ABSURD
AruRTHxn xxAxrNArIoS OF THE ROOM.
Capt. Linden, the Philadelphia detective Who
has been investigating the death Of Franklin
b Gowen, who was found dead in his room al
Wormley's last Saturday with . pistol wound
in his head with view to determining whether
it was murder or suicide, has about given up
the quest and will return home today. At
least, that il what 10 generally believed He
is said to be deep man, however, whose plans
lie far beneath the surface and who is in the
habit Of doing exactly what he is unexpected
to do.
THEORY OF ACCIDENT.
Those friends Of Mr.. Gowen who discredi,
the idea that he took his own life are now in.
clined to the view that the shooting was acct.
dental. Postmaster General wanamaker said
this morning that he had no faith in the muir
der theory, but that he thinks the tragic end
of Mr.. Gowens life was the result OF misc chance.
This belief, il is understood, has also super.
seeded the murder idea in Capt. Linden's mind
and 1t is said that he returns to Philadelphia
prepared to argue to Mr.. Governs family thai
his pistol must have exploded without any in.
tention on the part Of the dead man.
SOME FACTS AGAINST THE THEORY.
The pistol may have fallen from the mantel
beforewhich Mr.. Gowen was standing, to the
floor, and discharging driven the ball through
his brain. In such q case Mr.. Gowen would
have had his head inclined severely to the right
more than half way to the perpendicular, in
order to have allowed the ball to pass straight
through the head, from side to side. Or be
may have been handling the pistol, examining
it, and thus shot himself through his own head
This is deemed improbable, for the room
must have been dark. The cur tains were down
and
THE GAS WAS USIIGHrED.
This latter fact Of the gas being turned OF il
now being commented upon quite generally a.
an odd circumstance. Capt. Linden mention,
it as pointing to possible murder. Mr.. Gowen
he says, could not very well have first shot him
self and then turned out the gas before falline
and dying. There was no reason why the ga.
should have been lighted. There was plenty
of light at O'Clock in the morning, even with
the llght-colored window shades down, for 9
suicide to have seen his own figure in q mirror
sufficiently to know where to put his pistol
The fact that he was facing the mirror the In
slant the ball entered his brain is advanced al
an argument against the possible assassination
from behind. for Mr.. Gowen could then have
seen everything behind him.
THIS MIRROR
is not used for dressing purposes; the bureau
has swinging glass also. Mr.. Gowen was moi
attending to his toilet when he looked into the
mirror, for he was fully dressed and would
have used the bur where there were better
called at the hotel this morning and, accom-
panied by Mr.. Wormley, made survey o.
room 81, which is today in the hands Of
colored wall scraper.

TAX SALES OF REAL ESTATE.
Collector Davis Wants His Office Pro-
vided with the Record Of Deeds.

Collector of Taxes Davis, in letter TO the
Commissioners today, requests that the dis
trict attorney be ordered to furnish his Office
with q record Of ell deeds issued to purchasers
at tax sales. He says that it has heretofore
been the custom TO furnish this data, but since
the year 1885 the custom has been neglected TO
the Inconvenience Of his Office and the public.
The record Of tax sales, he says, contains the
date Of sale, square, lot, TO whom assessed and to
whom sold. with date of redemption either By
payment Of tax or surrender Of certificate, but
does not, since the year 1885, contain any in
formation a. TO the issue Of deeds, conse-
quently it is incomplete and therefore loses
much OF its value as a record inasmuch as Ger.
ti6cates Of taxes do not contain Information
where taxes have been satisfied by sale. This
record Is daily consulted by purchasers of
property, which in itself makes Il an incom-
Plete record and one which should by I'll means
be complete in ell detail.
