detective bureau had taken the finger
prints of the dead detectives right
hand instead Of both hands, and seri-
Gus consideration was given to q sug-
gestion that the body be exhumed to
f1ngerprint his left hand.
It was assumed that If Scrivener had
taken his own life his left hand must
have held the gun since the necktie
was clutched in his right hand.
In support Of the suicide theory, the
Detective Bureau collected q large
amount of data bearing on the life and
actions of Scrivener, and much Of this
was included in a report which never
reached the coroner's jury and which
has never been made public.
In the face of the suicide case, which
the Detective Bureau had ostensibly
worked out, the coroner's jury, 35 days
after Schrivener's death, decided that

IN the hand or hands Of persons other
than himself. and unknown to the jury"
Because Of objections from the
United States attorneys of1ce, the
coroner's jury did not hear a recitation
from the Detective Bureau Of the pos
sible motive in the case, neither did 1t
permit the submission of any evidence,
collateral or otherwise. The jury
obviously reached its verdict Of murder
on the basis of testimony Of Scrivener's
neighbors that they heard low, quick
voices In the alley in which his body
I was found before the shot was fired.
Thus, the United States attorneys

Scri 'ener, by some strange fate, met
death on his wedding day. In his
pocket was found the platinum we'd
ding rang he had planned to have en-

night on the finger of Miss Helen
Barnes Parker of Langley, Va, his

the killing he had given Miss Parker
an engagement ring and kissed her
and brother-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. B.

night at o'clock.
The night before his death Scrivener
also went to prize fight at Kenilworth
with Lieut.. Kelly and Headquarters De-
tective Tom Sweeney. He took Sweeney
home first in his automobile, and then

outside the latter's home, leaving him
about midnight.
Scrivener's movements from that
time until his body was found in the
alley an hour later were never fully
