TO INQUEST BY AIRPLANE
Captain From Fort Riley Flies Here
To Attend Death Probe.


Capt. Waiter Buford, in command of
the Mounted service school detach-
ment at Fort Riley, flew to Topeka
in an airplane this morning to attend
the inquest into the death of Hunter
Elder, one of his negro troopers, who
died Friday in St. Francis hospital as
the result of bullet wound in his
head inflicted under mysterious cir
cumstanceS at the home of his COM
mon law wife, Mrs. Alma Burnette,
lis North Van Buren, street.
The airplane was piloted by Captain
Voland of the air service detachment
at Fort Riley. They left the fort at
S:15 o'clock, the trip to Cowles
field at Topeka consuming between
twenty-five and thirty minutes. At 8
o'clock Captain Buford was waiting
at the court house for the inquest to
begin.
The captain qualified as a small
arms expert at the hearing and testi-
fled concerning the disposition of Ell
der and the probabilities of the shoot
ing. The bullet which killed Elder
was found lodged in the back part of
the skull. Captain Buford said that
had the revolver been held two feet or
more away from his head that the
bullet would have passed entirely thru
the head.
The Burnette woman is being held
pending the decision of the cofoner's
lury.
