The suicide of Willard Rosser of
Suitland, Md, in the apartment over
his fathers store, was the direct
reult of nervousness brought about
by having been kidnapped and robbed
several weeks ago by two negroes
driving a District car, according to
his friends and Justice Of the Peace
William Naecker.
Rosser was discovered yesterday
by his mother. He was lying on
the floor with a pistol clutched in
his hand.
Other residents Of the neighbor-
hood stated last night that young
Rosser was kidnapped several weeks
ago, brought to this city and robbed.
After the robbery he is alleged to
have been released at North Cap
itol and K SITS. N. w. and to have
called police from that point.
Receiving no assistance 1t was
said, Rosser went TO Capttot Heights
and notified the justice of the peace,
giving him the tag numbers of the
car. The tag numbers were later
given to Washington police, Naecker
claims.
