YET 4 MYSTERY.
1t will never be known for sure
whether the shooting OF DR.. Murray
was accidental or premeditated. There
are theories on both sides of the oues-
ton, and there has so far been found
absolute proof in sustention of either.
The fatal bullet. of very small calibre
entered on the left side near the
stomach. The dying man was found
lying on his back OIL the bed
y theory which gives color to acct
dental shooting is that DR.. Murray had
come home tired and lain down, and
the pistol was discharged while being
down from the hip pocket.
Some of the deceased's friends can
not reconcile suicide with the mans
life. There was no domestic nor finan-
cial trouble, nor were there any heart
acknowledgements. A communication from
the deceased to his father a day before
the eni was cheerful in tone, and there
were promises of frequent letters during
the foreign tour. There was n strong
bond OF affection between father and
son.
