EVIDENCE OF ATTACK
SEEN IN DEATH
Autopsy Holds Injuries on the
Head and Face Not Cause
of Death.

In the death OF Jerry Showers. ~.
crippled drayman Of Bellaire. whose
body Was found this morning in Cherry
alley. the Bellatrc police and authorities
OF Belmont county are confronted with
all the elements OF battling mystery.
Showers was widely known IN Bel
iairo. where he worked as a drayma n
many years. and his death Is attributed
10 the police to alcoholism. but there
are other Investigators In the city who
not not agree with this version and they
roirt to the cuts about his nose and
face and the rrotrudIng eyeball as In
dicative o. an attack.
They also hold that tnasmuch as
nothing was found in his pockets in the
way OF money or a watch that the mo-
tive was robbery.
In the face OF these two conflicting
theories the autopsy performed last
night by DIS F.. s. Wright and J. s.
Suttcn. resulted in a decision that the
injuries about his head and face were
not sufficient 10 cause death"
However, two men. father and son,
have been arrested for their alleged
connection with the death Of Showers,
and Coroner Clyde Hardesty has de-
Clared he intends TO hold an inquest to-
day TO determine whether or not tho
drayrnan was robbed and beaten 10

a small post projecting from the ground
near where his hody was found and thus
suffered tho injuries about his face and

the Near Eastern conference have
suddenly given the conference
great international Importance.
America will not only Observe
she will speak. and speak out Wig

sion demands it, and in a general
way will insist on every right of

countries. in all things except ac-
tual voting.
Such. the Associated Press un-
dcrstands, is the American posi-
ton, and il is founded on the fact
that the United States. like the
European powers, has interests in
Turkey. and on the assumption
that the United States cannot sit
idly by and let other wo, Id ma
