Rcderick, of Frederick, made an in
vestigation of the shooting of Mrs.
Daisy Marshall and Charles Michael,
who were found dead in the formers
home, and, came to the same conclusion
as did the coroner's jury, which decided
that Michael shot his aunt and then
killed himself. The second floor Of the
home was torn up and the direction
of the one stray bullet was traced.
This indicated that the shot was fired
from the couch, where the two bodies
were found, and not from the doorway

as the cause of the tragedy.

TURKS TO Be
ASKED ABOUT
PERSIA CASE
Ambassador Morgenthau Will
Be Instructed to Seek In
formation on Sinking.

| WASHINGTON. Jan. 24-rhe
United States will make inquiry OF the
| Turkish government concerning
| knowledge 1t may have of the sink
ing of the ?. & 0. liner Persia, Sec
| retary Lansing said today.
Ambassador Morgenthau will ass
| Tor information, as Penfield has done
at Vienna, as soon as the latter re-
ports finally, in case the report is as
anticipated that Austria has no
knowledge whatever of how the sink
| ing occurreG.
This has been the course planned
practically from the first the secre-
tary indicated. With Germany and
Austria eliminated. Turkey remains
the only possibility. In the depart
ment it is regarded as unlikely that
such an inquiry will develop anything
new but to make the United States in
yestigation complete it is regarded as
necessary.
WASHINGTON, Jan. e4.-Reports
from Amsterdam that Turkish sub
marine may have been responsible for
sinking the 2. & o. liner Persia were
| received with doubt by officials here
today. Navy authorities recalled that
Turkey had only three submarines
planned for construction at the be-
ginning of the war, and these manned
by Germans. They also doubted if the
Turkish undersea boats, Vtally need
ed and most actively engaged in the
Dardanelles campaign had sufficient
time or steaming radius to reach the
Far Eastern Mediterranean waters
where the Persia was sunk.
Officials doubted If the Amsterdam
reports would be taken seriously
enough to cause special inquiry to be
made to Turkey. They believed If
either Germany or Austria had knowl-
edge that a Turkish submarine was
responsible they would not have with
held such information, against their
own interest, even though such action
would have been benefited their ally
for trip.
The Turkish legation also secuted
the continental rumor and denied hay
ing any knowledge of the circum-
stances
Administration officials regard the
Persia incident practically closed with
receipt Of Austrias disclaimer. They
stated that, of course, if information
should be received later fixing nation
allty of the submarine, this govern
ment would take necessary action.
