BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 13, P)-'
Police admittedly had made no head
way tonight in solving the myster-
ious Staying of DR.. F. F. Blair, for
mer state physician and his wife,
who were found shot to death in their
burning home early today.
While loathe to accept the muir
der-suicide theory, officials at the
same time indicated there was little
tangible evidence which pointed to
murder.
Answering a call turned by neigh
bors, firemen rushed into the Blair
home to find the physician and his
wife lying on the floor. Draperies
and bedding in the room were mass
of flames. Thinking the couple over
come by smoke, firemen carried them
into the open where it was discover
ed that both had been shot to death
Friends of the couple were able to
recall no motive for suicide. Although
Mrs. Blair recently had returned
from a hospital where she had been
treated for a malady of long stand
ing, it was said she had been in the
best of spirits.
