NOT SURE ADAMS KILLED SELF.
New Works. Eeroner to Probe Death
o. so-cslfed Policy King.


New York, Oct. a.-goroner Har-
burger, in statement made Tuesday,
gave an inrimation that he was not en-
tirely satisfied that the death of CAP
Adams, the former so-called policy
king, was the result of suicide. The
coroner said: =
teMeghe police and all the witnesses to
the death of AT Adams believe and
are convinced that he committed sui,
eide, but from the position in which
found his body, lying over chair
and the head resting near cuspidor,
fsads me In gone ways to believe that
there might have beeR foul play.
81 am now in doubt as to what mo-
tive there was for man of such
wealth to take his life. The force Of
the shot penetrated and went through
the forehead and the ball hit the door,
embedding itself In the vail. This
shaws how powerful the SHOT was that
ended his life. 1t is supposed that he
got out of bed at 7:45 a. m. Gen.
orally people do not commit suicide
when they rise from slumber. All
the Indications are that he did COM
NIT suicide, and I will examine every
witness and try to find out what mo-
tive there was for self-destruction."
