A MYSTERIOUS CASE.

"A CorOners's Inquest that Did Not Inquire
"A Death Caused by a Bullet Wound Laid
at the Door of AppOplexy-The Truth Dis
covered by the Undertakers. and a Second
Inquest Held-To be Investigated.
DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 9.-Coroner
Brown received word by telephone at
noon yesterday that an old man had
died suddenly on Fifteenth street. He
called and found the body of c. A.
Blood. He was 20 years of age and
had lived at Marine City most of his
Life. For the past several months he
has been living at the home of his
siaughter-in-law, s74 Fifteenth street.
The coroner examined the body and re-
ported that he had died of apoplexy.
Hiest Bros, undertakers. took charge
of the remains, and at 2:3O o'clock re-
ported to police headquarters that they
had found a bullet hole in the body.
Henry Orth and George McGuire
were sent from Chests establishment
TO prepare the body for burial. and ON
arriving at the house found the body
dressed and the coat buttoned tightly
up to the neck. The family was NOV
ing to the next house, and the body
was taken there.
Objections were at first made to the
removal of the body, and those in the
house protested against the redressing
of the body. At this time nothing was
said of the accident.
When the coat was opened the un-
ziertakers noticed blood on the shirt.
They also saw that the index finger Of
the left hand was blackened with
powder smoke. A bullet hole, evil
denriy made by a 32-caliber revolver,
was found a little above and to the left
of the naval, and Coroner Brown was
at once summoned to the house. He
ordered another inquest and impan-
elIed q jury to view the body.
On being questioned, the members of
the household claimed not to have
heard the sound of revolver shot, and
said that they knew of no reason for
the death of the old man under such
peculiar circumstances, and that they
did not know who buttoned the coat of
.he dead man after the coroner left the
house.
Coroner Brown says: ''Dr. Huff told
me he thought the man died Of apo
E,lexy. The man was fully dressed,
and thought he had fallen over and
died. When the undertakers informed
me about finding the bullet wound
Fastened to the house again. / imme-
qiiasely commenced to search for the
weapon. l found it under the bureau
