tanned by the fan fro mthe bridge. There

DEATH ACCIDENTAL.
There now seems 20 be little doubt
that the man fell from the bridge while
i'm state OF intoXcation and killed him-
self. The water below the bridge rs quite
shallow. and contact with the bottom
might well have caused the injuries
found upon him.
The theory is advanced that Perry's
death might have been the result OF

get his body. and IL is thought that ne
