be. there are OminOus reports from the

NEWSY LETTER FROM OUR REG
ULAR CORRESPONDENT

Especial to Virginian- Pilot)
Hampton, Va, April 11.-NIany peo-
pie here entertain the opinion that
there should have been n more care
full investigation with respect to the
death of Elijah Thomas, which occur
red at Newport News last Monday aft
ernoon. No one, OF course, intimates
that any important fact in the case was
covered up. nor Is 1T alleged that the
story that the man killed himself Is
not true. But In view OF the peruilar
circumstances attending the sad atTaIr,
1t Is thought that there should nave
been n more exhaustive inquiry.
Tine ground upon which this opinion
rests rs found in the fact that Thomas
was shot four times, and that any one
of the wounds he received was suhl-
cient TO have made 1t impossible for
him to have fired the second time. The
probability Is, however, that this con-
cluslon Is wholly untenable. The New
port News officials who saw the body
and they are supported by the state
ments OF the doctors-say that IL was
quite possible for Thomas to have fired
oil four shots.
There seems to be no doubt that
Thomas wrought the tragedy with his
own hand. but why he did 1t no one has
yet been found who Is able to say. He
was buried at Old Bethel Church,
where the remains OF his father and
three brothers, each OF whom died by
violence. lie. His body reposes over
the bones OF one OF his ancestors which
