found dead in a cell at the Second pre-

have committed suicide.
Duphane's body was taken to the
morgue Friday and Deputy Coroner Glaze
brook directed 10 perform an autopsy to

the Bonine case. Whether the autopsy
was performed or not is not known, but

From information that comes from
Woodstock it appears that it most prOba-

the CorOner's certificate stated. but was
deliberate suicide. NJ. l.. Walter, of Wood

the deceased. has received Il letter writ
