shot may not have been fired by the boy, but by another person. This last theory has nothing to cOrrObOrate 1t. Neither is there any known reason why the lad should commit suicide, and there Is a pos sfbility that the shooting was accidental.
 Roy MeClymonds was a dental student 'in the office of pr. Rodolph on Broadway. He went to his work about clock this :morning, and was seen to enter the office by Dr. Edwards and William J. Tore, the
 manager of the building. He returned their salutations cheerfully, and six min utes later, as nearly as pr. Edwards can reckon, a shot was heard. Dr. Edwards and MT. Tore started to locate the source of the shot and discovered young Nicely monds lying inside the lavatory, with his head outside. Coroner Baldwin, whose of flee is in the same building, promptly did ;aif possible for the lad, but 1t was at once apparent that his breathing would soon cease. He died a quarter of an hour after ward. with one chamber discharged. The boy was never known to carry pistol, and this incident lends strength to the theory : of suicide. Dr. Edwards, who examined tifc wound, says there is as much to show that 1t was an accident as suicide He thinks McClyMonds was probably load ing and playing with the weapon, o hicP top shows that he was sitting down when the Shot was fired.
 'I cannot account TOT InlS dIdiI III any way said Superintendent McClymonds- !'Roy was always the same frolicsome, genial boy He never showed any signs of despondency or any dissausfactlon with fife He has never, so far as know, been anything but strictly uprlght, aid Dr. Rodolph has told me that ne Was :'doing nicely at his work. He liked the study of dentistry, and was preparing 10 resume his work at college next week He has been filing in his time with Dr. Rodolph during vacation.
 This morning at breakfast we were laughing and Joking together as usual, and my wife tells me that Roy left nome tn.a a happy mood. She accompanied nm to the porch and he referred to party he was to attend this evening, from Wnlch he was anticipating much pleasure. me shooting must have been an accldent, TOT the boy would never commit suicide. Roy was not likely to be troubled by love al fairs. He had some young lady frienos' but he never went with any one Tn par ticular l am convinced that he had no trouble that would make him Respondent. He had absolutely no reaSon for Wanting to end his own life, but, instead, had everything to live for It must certainly have been an accident"
 The deceased was a graduate of the Oakland High School of the class of June, i. '96, and was also vice president of the High School Aegis Publishing Company.
