F. Marion Roberts Body Brought
To His Old Home for Burial
Sad End to Life Former Canon City Man Denver SAT-
urday-Friends Refuse Accept Suicide Theory and
Committee Declares He Was Not Short in Accounts

The funeral Of F. Marion Roberts,
VIII, se dead body WIS found in Denver
Saturday morning, occurred Monday
at II O'Clock from the Methodist Epi,-
copzl church at Canon City under the
auspices of the Ancient order of
United Workmen.
Mr. Roberts death is surrounded
with considerable mystery which the
efforts of the Denver police and detec-
rives have failed SO far TO remove II
was a, first supposed tina, he had com
mitted suicide and such was the un-
qualified statement made by the Den
yer papers in the story printed of the
sad affair Sunday. This. however, il
extremely doubtful. various phases ci
the matter pointing TO his having been
murdered. Death Was caused 10y a
pistol shot and although pistol held
as close ss it must have been by the
dead mans own hand, had he shot
himself, would necessarily have left
Roberts face or head at the point
where the ball entered. Another Thing
which discourages the idea of suicide
is that the bullet WAS fired into the
back OF the head. back of the ear. The
bail passed entirely through the herd
and lodged so close to the skin Mt the
front that one could feel it by pressing
on the head above and To one side of
the temple.
The statement was also pr nted and
widely circulated hy the Denver papers
that Mr.. Roberts was sho, in his sc-
counts as state recorder of the A. o.
U. W. and this was assigned as the
motive for suicide. An A. o. U W.
commit, ee went to work examining
Mr.. Roberts books as soon as his dead
body was found and at the time of
publication OF the sensational Denver
stories had not finished their work.
On Sunday the committee waited on
Mrs Roberts and informed her. that
the dead mans accounts were all
straight.
Nearly everybody in Canon City was
acquainted with Mr.. Roberts, he hav.
ing lived here many years. He was
for long time clerk at Harding

OF that firm is Indicated by the prompt
manner in which they stepped forward
TO assist the bereaved wife and family
in the last offices to the dead.
Mr.. Roberts had been for many years
member of the Ancient Order of
United Workman and so well did he
master the workings and follow the
precepts of the order that he was
elected from this place to the grand
recordership two years ago.
Upon being installed into the office
he went to Denver to make state head
quarters and that he might be more
centrally and conveniently located for
the performance of his duties.

candidacy caused him TO become de
