Heacock to a reporter for the Eagle last
night

near the porch. and the revolver was

pockets OF his pants were turned wrong

lieve he was murdered. I cannot see
why he should have shot himself and
turned his pockets out that way. There
IS some mystery about It."
Waiter Heacock, the young man who
met death so suddenly Wednesday night,
was accustomed TO shooting rats about
his home, and it is said that he purchased
a revolver and cartridges for that pur-
pose, and it is also alleged that he never
came down town after night without TAX
ing the revolver with him. There was
nothing unusual in his taking the revolt
Yer that night, as he said he was going
back to a lodge meeting. When the shot
was fired. no one seemed 10 pay any at
tention TO it, as they supposed he was
shooting at rats.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Heacock told
Of his suspicion Of murder. and the whole
detective force Of the city was put on
the case. Several persons were suspected
and last night an investigation was held,
in the police station. Nothing was found
that would implicate any of the men sus-
pected.
The theory of murder has so firmly
planted itself IN the minds OF the father

Mr.. McCollister said last night that he
