the cOroner's jury is in the hands of
the coroner. and what its contents are
he refuses to state. No arrests have
been made but it is given out that sus-
picions point TO certain parties and
that they are under surveillance.
The officers who have charge of the
investigation are yelling their findings
with the utmost secrecy, but some of
the findings have outcropped Ii will
be remembered that the first story
given out from the home was that
Greenig was found in the kitchen and
that he had blown his brains out with
a shot gun. the charge entering the
front of the head. Now. after the au-
topsy. it is given out by good author
ity that the bullet which caused his
death was from 22-calibre Winches-
