MYSTERY IN DEATH
OF MIlLIONAIRE'S SON
Found Dead by Brother, Who Hears
Shot-Murder Theory Is
Raised

Chicago, April 21.-Mystery shrouds
the death of Carl W. Eisendrath, TWEEN
ty-six years old, who was found lifeless
in bed with a bullet wound in the
head and a rife near his right hand.
A score of detectives were put to
work on the theory that the case
might be one of murder or suicide.
Relatives of the young man asserted
the shooting was accidental They
said that he had planned hunting
trip, and evidently was killed while
examining his rifle.
The police were disposed to give lit
tie weight to this theory, owing to the
position of the body and that of the
refe.
William N. Eisendrath, president of
the Monarch Rubber company, who
has offices in the large plant at Di-
vision street and the river, told the
police that his son had expected to go
to Wisconsin in few days on a hunt
ing trip. He said that there was no
possible motive for suicide. The fam
lily had intended making a tour of
Europe this summer and was to start
in few days. Young Eisendrath ex-
pected to remain at home.
The fatal shot was heard by Edward
Eiscndrath, brother of the victim.
When Edward reached the room
where the shot was fired he found
Carl fully dressed and lying across
the bed with the rifle at his side.
The young man was hurried to the
Michael Reese hospital, but physicians
there said that death had been instan-
tcneous. The police and the coroner
were Immediately notified by members
of the family and the investigation fol-
lowed.
The father, who is said to have
made millions in the leather trade,
said he knew of no love ENHANCEMENT
or other cause that might have led
his son to take his own life. He was
unable, however, to explain the shoot
ing.
The police could not understand how
young man Of education and intelli-
gence could fail to know whether the
rifle he was handling was loaded
