CORONER TO PROBE
kent Death CASE
Body Of Missing Youth Found
Murder or Suicide

Kent, Conn. May 2.--An inquest
will be held by Coroner Herman next
week into the death OF Fred Carter,
is. whose body was found against the
piling Of tho new Housatonic bridge
here OH Monday. Carter was missed
from home three weeks ago.
The coroner said today that he had
found nothing to support a theory of
foul play, or that death came ether
wise than from self inflicted gun
shot wound. but as he had taken no
evidence he was not prepared to give
final opinion.
Carter's body was buried in the
cemetery here yesterday. An autopsy
was held earlier In the day by Medi-
cal Examiner II. r. Hanchett of Tor
rington.
Carter was nephew of Mrs.
Charles b. Andrews, widow of the for
mer governor and chief justice. His
father, Cassius Carter is a brother of
Mrs. Andrews.
Coroner Herman said that the au-
topsy showed that Carter had died
from charge of shot in the chest
winch made deep wound. The body
probably fell into the Housatonic
river and later was washed against
The bridge piling. The coroner said
that the fact the lads vest was not
torn by the birdshop did not signify
much as the muzzle of the gun could
have been placed inside the vest. Cor
oner Herman said that he found Miss
Jennie Barker, kindergarten teacher
at whose home Carter lived, was
Frustrated with grief and he was
unable to question her. For this rea-
son he did not call witnesses pre-
ferring to hear from Miss Barker to
determine the exact time Carter left
the house.

The fire was discovered by John

and rushed out to send an alarm. At
the fire box he encountered Erickson
and returned to the house with him.
Rushing into the hallway, Erickson
according to Piechura, cried:
Helen, I'm coming to save YOU.
Don't fear, I'll get you safely to the
street.
Helen. meanwhile. had not waited
for a chance hero to come to her aid,
but had fled downstairs and gone to
the home of neighbor
Firemcn found that two blazcs had
been started with turpentine as an
aid; one in the cellar and a second

to him unless Margaret took him
back, He left after impressing on the
of his attempt at rescue.
The Pechuras were not suspicious
until Assistant Fire Marshal Brophy
and Detective Winkler questioned
them. Winkler sought out Erickson
and put him through severe exam

in confession.
Miss Ferguson, who was in the fire
marshal's Office, said that she had no
intention of marrying Erickson, whom
she had met at dance. Her mother
had caused his arrest when his atten-
tions became annoying. but had drop
