Gated Contemplated Marriage to Girl

Have Fired Fatal Shots.

Chicago. Jan. 1.-two men dressed
in the uniform Of the United States
navy were found dead last night in
room of the Grant Park hotel, 700
South Michigan avenue. Both had been
shot thru the temple.
From letters found on them the po-
lice identified the men as:
Earl Bostwick, so years old, of Fort
Dodge, Iowa.
e. a. Buchanan, % years old.
Their bodies lay side by side on the
bed. The police are puzzled to know
whether 1t was a suicide pact or a
murder and suicide.

Buchanan did not die until several
hours after Bostwick. When the police
arrived the body of Bostwick was cold,
indicating that he had been dead sew
eral hours. Buchanan's body still was
warm. Buchanan's wound was one that
would have resulted in instant death,
SO the police feel sure that the shot
that killed Buchanan was not fired I'M
til some time after Bostwick died.
Ono Revolver Found.
There was only one revolver in the
room. That was clutched in Buchan-
ans right hand, which rested on his
breast.
An examination Of the windows and
the door satisfied the police that the
crime was not committed by a third
person. who later escaped.
