The shots that ended the man-hunt APP
psrently were fired shortly after midnight.
They were not heard by any one in the
hotel, the sound of the music on the roof
drowning out the reports
The bodies OF Gravier and Mrs. BelEar
were found about ] o'clock this morning
by Manager Miller, of the hotel who heard
groans coming from Room 915 as he was
descending the stairs from the roof garden
to the ninth floor. He ran into the room,
and when he turned over the form of
Gravier's companion TO see IL she, too, were
dead, her limp left hand fell into the open
palm of Gravier's right hand.
Miller summoned DR. Herbert NJ. God
dard. the house physician, who sent the
wounded woman to the jefferson Hospital,
where It was said she would die Of her
wounds. She, too. was handsomely dressed.
Gravier evidently died instantly, as he
was shot through the heart. The woman
registered as Mrs Gravier was shot
through the breast. The slayer killed her
self with a well-plnced shot in the temple.
Gravier and his companion, who had
motored over from New York In the morn

to return to the hotel and go upstairs
shortly after midnight. They had been to
a theater and had taken lunch before retlr-

told Detective Harbidge that as she was
walking past room 915, about 10 O'Clock

an told her smilingly He has the keys
and I'm locked out"
The guest thought nothing OF the mat
ter at the time. The woman was dressed
in black, with brown furs and a French
hat This costume corresponds with the
clothing of the slayer. The invalid guest
was the only person who saw the woman
before the shooting.
