Its discussion only plunges one into
mystery, and 1t may be best not to
utter it
The strange and startling fact that
Clande A. Bagby was SHOT twice, one
shot in the breast and one under the
right ear. had not been given to the
news reading public and was not
known in Durango until the body
reached the city last night. The death
certificate of the doctor which is re-
ouired in the shipment OF remains re
cites these facts, and it Will appear
strange TO the people of Durango that
the Associated Press, with Its wiue
spreading facilities had not discovered
that there were two shots taking eff
feet when announcing that there was
bu, one. Mystery must attach TO the
| withholding of this fact by the faculty
of Notre Dame university.
The death certificate recites that
the shot under the ear was the fatai
one. and all the news obtainable until
/ the dead body of Claude Bagby reach
ed Durango was that he had been
| shot in one place, near the heart.
1t is presumed that having been
shot at first in the breast. he turned
and received the second shot under
the ear.
The faculty of Notre Dame univer
sity might by ordinary investigation
learn how many shots were fired, oil
