ed an inch and half behind the right ear

was evidently placed close to the head
as the hair and the flesh around the
cages OF the wound were powder burned.
AS nearly as could be learned from a
superficial examination the bullet took an
upward range, but an autopsy will be
heid today to determine its exact course,
partly Tor the purpose of securing evil
dence in connection with the Sheets case.

In the case of Smith, like that of Sheets.
the explosion was not loud enough to
awaken anybody in the adjoining rooms
but several heard the body fall to the
floor. Mr.. Steward, who occupies a room
just under the one Smith had, heard the
body fall. At the time he thought some
one had fallen out of bed and paid no
attention to IT. He recalls indistinctly
that he heard a noise prior to the fall,
which was undoubtedly the muffled shot.
Several other ro0mers told practically
the same story.
Steward telephOned to the police sta
ton and Sergeant J. ]. Roberts and Of
ficer Horace Heath went to the room 1t
was found locked from the inside and the
lock had to be removed before an en-
trance was made. From the position of

up in front of the looking glass and, plac-
ing the gun behind his ear, fired the shot
