but on further investigation revolver was
found near where the body had laid, with two
empty chambers. An examination of the body
revealed what appeared to be bullet hole in
the right temple and another in the left side
below the heart. At an examination Monday
morning it was clearly established as case of
suicide, and the remains were identified as
those of George Banks, son of Fred'L. Banks,
an attorney in Boston. He had been living
