CORONER WILL HOLD
INQUEST THIS MORNING
Jury Summoned to Hear Details OF
Shooting of Beautiful Charlotte
L. Noyes-Woman Left
No Will,

Coroner Calvin Hartwell will hold an
inquest at the undertaking establish
ment of Pierce Brothers this morning
at 10 o'clock over the body of Mrs.
Charlotte l.. Noyes, who was shot to
death by w. p McComas last Friday
night at the dead woman's apart
ments, Gil little street.
No one has called at the undertake
ing parlors to claim the body. There
have been a number of persons who
have visited the morgue to view the
body, but none of them have claimed
to have been a friend or acquaintance
of the dead woman.
Attorneys for McComas notified the
dead woman's relatives in the east OF
the circumstances and told them to
send any instruction to the undertake
ing firm.
McComas is being treated for his
burns at the county hospital, where
he was taken Saturday evening. He is
improving rapidly and the surgeons
believe he will not suffer any serious
consequences as the result of his
burns. A number of friends have vis-
tied him and offered to assist in any
way possible.
1t is probable a complaint will be
filed against McComas after the in
quest has been held.
Accompanied by Mrs. Cora Lewis,
D. c. Casselman, deputy public ad-
ministrator, yesterday examined the
contents of the safety deposit box in
which Mrs. Noyes had placed papers
and documents.
No will was discovered, however,
and the contents of the box were left
undisturbed. They consisted, for the
most part, of letters, many of them
of apparently little value to any per-
son except the owner.

The police are firm in the belief that
the attack on their chief was due to an
anarchistic plot. Theories that the man
may have had a personal grudge
against the official because of an ar
rest or some similar matter were given
up when detectives of the department
failed to recognize the corpse as that OF
Il known criminal.
Two members of the force asserted
they had seen the man at a. meeting
Of anarchists in a hall on the north
side of the city about ten days ago.
Both the chief and Mrs. Shippy as
sert that the formers life was saved
by the bravery of her son. The young
man, who is is :.ears old, is a student
at Culver Military academy, Culver,

ness and fastened to his fathers aid
when the shooting began.

Mrs. Shippy. 1.-THE BLADE struck him in
the shoulder. The knife was drawn
back ready for another blow when
Harry struck the mans hand and
Knocked the weapon to the floor.
1.-THE man kicked me to one side and
then the shots came, Harry falling,
and I saw blood in his chest. He ex-
claimed, Papa, I'm shot but he saved
his fathers life"

Georgetta Shippy when T. heard

then ran into +he hall. l saw the knife
and saw Harry rush in. Foley came
in, the shooting began and it was all
ever so soon that l don't know just
how 1t all happened. Harry is not
