YOUTH
FOUND SLAIN

PHILADELPHIA, June Q.N.S)..
A thorough investigation was
launched by Delaware county au"
thorities today into the mysterious
shooting of Bramwell Linn, 22-year.
old honor student at Haverford
College, who was found dead in his
apartment on the college campus
from a .22-caliber bullet wound.
Linn, son of Superior Court
Judge William B. Linn, was to have
been graduated from Haverford
College today with a degree Of
award for improvement in scholar
ship.
The youths body. clad only in
underwear. was found on the floor
of his rooms in Lloyd Hall. one OF
the most exclusive houses on Hav.
erford campus. A bullet had pene.
trated the base of his brain and
the rifle from which the shot il
believed to have been fired stood
in a corner of the room.
Theories Conflict
Coroner Frankenfield, Of Della.
ware county, who performed an
autopsy on the students body, ex.
pressed the belief that it was q
case of murder. a theory in which
Linn's father agreed. However,
William j. MacCarter, States attor-
ney of Delaware county, adheres to
the belief he committed suicide.
Absence of powder marks on the
body indicates, in the opinion of
Frankenfield, that the shot was
fired from a distance, and the path
of the bullet shows that the gun
was held in a horizontal position.
1t is on the bs sis of these two
facts that Fr,nkenfield reached
the murder theory.
Four Students Questioned
Four students were questioned
concerning the affair. They are
Robert Doughty. jr., and. Wendell
w. Blancke. of Wayne. Pa, Ralph
Atkinson, of Salem, Ohio. and John
Hartman, of York, Pa.
All four were released after tel.
ing of a pre- graduation party from
which, 1t Is alleged, Linn was taken
to his dormitory in an intoxicated
state.
ATTORNEY MacCarter announced
that Linn had left a note indicating
that he contemplated suicide, which
read as follows:
1.-THE soggy old prohiDitionists will
get q great kick out Of this. They'll
say 1t was booze, but it is not.
They'll say | was insane, but I'm
not. I'm both sane and sober.
