 By Accidental Shot

PUEBLO, Colo, June S.-The bullet that killed Ernest E. Withers, mem Der of the Pueblo water commission and president of the Iron City Fuel Company. Monday night. probably was fired inadvertently from outside, of his automobile. Assistant District Attor- ney l.. k. Langdon said tonight at the conclusion of a session of the coroner's jury Investigating the affair. The inquest was adjourned to Friday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
 "The trend of opinion among those of us who are inquiring into the affair is decided toward an accidental shoot ine-a stray bullet fired from dis tance--or a shot discharged at the ground nearby.
 If there was murderous intent that intent was not directed against Mir. Withers.
 We are not clear as to whether the bullet was fired by guard or not. We do not wish to involve any organ ization unjustly, so we are proceeding carefully"
