verses in Business and
Was in Poor Health

ing raids as an American flyer with
Italian forces in the World war, was
found dead in the rear of garage in
the Back Bay district to-day. He had
been shot over the left eye. An auto
matte pistol and bullets, discharged
and loaded, lay nearby. Medical Exam
iner Leary said the circumstances indi-
Gated suicide, but that investigation
would be thorough,
Captain McGilvary, who had been
decorated with the italian war cross
for bravery, had entered the CONNER
cial aviation field in the New England
after the war. His venture, however,
was said to have resulted in financial
losses. His health was impaired and
lie went to the woods for rest,
His body bore only the forehead
wound, although at least two shots
were fired. This fact. together with a
disturbed condition on the ground near
by, led to more thorough investiga-
tion than usual. Only one Of the night
garage employees in the vicinity where
the body was found remembered hay
ing heard anything resembling pistol
shots. 1t was his recollection that he
heard two reports early this morning
but at the time thought they were due
to the baekfire of an automobile.
The body was removed to the South
End mortuary, where an autopsy was
performed by the medical examiner.
McGiiyary, when he came back from
the war, wore the Italian military
cross, the Croix de Guerre and the Col
den Crown and Wings, the latter an
Italian decoration conferred on the
first group of American ayiators to
reach the italian front. He was born
in Berkeley, Cal, "a years ago and was
graduated from the University of Wis
consin in 1916 Enlisting at the out
break of the war, he reached the high
est stage of his fying career when he
piloted giant Caproni bombing planes
on raiding expeditions from Italy. Aft
er the war McGilvary was one of
