states that the autopsy shows that
the bullet entered through Miller s
forehead and came out the back.
The dead soldier was popular ut
the post, having won friends with
officers and his associates. Miss
C. K. Naylor, Army hostess, in
charge of the Service Club, states
that the temperament, and habits
of Miller were such that suicide oy
him seems highly improbable.

Johnson is a patient at Emergency

He was last seen at the post

after which he left the post, and

was en- route to see his hancee

of an assassin's bullet or his own.
Theories advanced by police as
signed to investigate the case are
as follows: Miller had an excellent
reputation at the post, was peace
full. and his financial condition
seemed good. He had not seen his
fiancee for a week and arrange
