that the shot reported fred by Guard
Deprand at Westlawn cemetery last
night was on account of any attempt
TO desecrate the tomb. They do not at
tempt to explain the strange story of

the shot, which cemetery officials and
other residents nearby say they heard,

1t is believed the military authorities
win make a thorough Investigation OF
the stories told by the soldiers on duty

rumors that the shot was fired On ac-
count Of an accidental fall and also
that it was the re1ult of personal diff
