tective at the Raleieh, Mr.. GilhOoly was
lying on the side Of his bed. His body

evident that the attorney had been
stricken as he was about to take bath.

OF duplicate key after the suspicion OF
the management had been aroused

called TO him. but received no answer.
When the detective grasped his hand he
found Mr.. Gilhooly cold In death. The
attorney had evidently been dead for
hours.
Representative Harris. whom Mr.. I'LL
hooly had arranged to meet early in
the morning, the two men having been
engaged as counsel for Stuart A Brown.
who il the iitigant In a large case being
tried in Massachusetts,, waited for his
fellow attorney for several hours.
Calls for Mr.. Gilhooly over the tele-
phone finally brought the news that he
had registered at the Raleigh. Repeated
calls at the Raleigh brought forth re-
plies that he was apparently out, as no
answer could be obtained from his room.
Following the finding OF the body and
the police investigation. relatives In New
York were notified. Coroner hewitt al
lowed the body TO be sent to the under
