to be gone probably for several
months. The policeman told the
coroner, however, that the revolver
was in the mans pocket and that he
did not believe Young could have put
it there after shooting himself. Young
died about FIVE minutes after the po-
iceman first saw him.

never carried q revolver and that he
did not believe the death was due to
a self inflicted wound. Mlllin said.
that Young, who came here from
England 10 or is years ago poor
man, was worth more than a half mil
