CORONER AND POLICE DIFFER.

CONFLICTING THEORIES AS TO THE CAUSE OF
THE DEATH OF A MOUNT VERNON MAN
Many theories being advanced in Mount Ver-
non as to the cause Of the death OF Charles Brauch
on Friday night with the top OF his head blown
OFF. Coroner Banning thinks that murder has
been committed. and Is pursuing the investigation
on this theory. He expects TO bring out the facts
at the Inquest which is to be held in the City Court
at O'Clock this afternoon
The murder theory Is borne out by the opinion
Of the expert who examined the gun with which
II was thought that Brauch killed himself The
expert declares that the old weapon has not been
used In fifteen years.
One theory Is that the old gardener was knocked
down with axe and that the murderer blew his
head of by placing stick Of dynamite In the vic
TINS mouth and fring II with a fuse. Then In
order to hide his crime he threw the old carbIne
on the ground and arranged the trigger rigging
which was found near the body and suggested sui
eide.
No one can find motive for such deed. The old
man had no money and. far be learned
he had no enemies who would take such ghastly
revenge.
Chief Of Police Foley Is still firm in the belief ,ba,
the man committed suicide. The Chief is supported
IN his theory OF the by Drs. Newell and Neiss
who helped to make the autopsy. Dr. Weiss the
Chief SAYS detected the smell OF cunpowder on the
OF Brauch's friends think that he may have killed
himself Ike the Chicago Anarchist did few years
ago, by exploding dynamite cartridge In his
mouth. A short distance from where the tragedy.
OF dynamite stored for use IN blasting and some OF
the explosive Is nozs missing.

You had better; you are close to death"
Errell made no answer for a full minute Then
