 lying flat on the ground and the hands folded across the abdomen.
 The death of the young men be. came known when Constable Ken nedy was notified that there was an automobile stuck in the mud about a quarter of a mile west from where the body was found. and that some Negro iarmhands were trying to push 1t out.
 Constable Kennedy arrived at the scene about 6:3o o'clock and was told that there was | body in the lot down the road.
 He immediately notified pr. A. P. Pratt. medical examiner. and it was found that the body was that of Huntington.
 Auto stopped Near Spot
 The automobile which was stuck in the mud belonged to Fred J. Hol- brook of Poquonock. It was not be- lieved that this car in anyway fisur- ed in the affair. However. it was learned that an automobile had stopped near where Huntinston's body was found. adding to the theory that the body had been brought there.
 No motive could bs determined and in any event it apparently was not robbery, as a-diamond ring was on the young mans hand when the body was found. There was no weapon in the vicinity and this seemed to eliminate q suicide theory.
 County Detective Hickey and Dep uty Sheriff George Greer Of Suhield are conducting the investiga tion. Huntington was | popular young man of the town. He was saluta- torian of his class at the high school when he was graduated in 1926. He entered Harvard the following fall.
 He is survived by his mother, an elder brother. Clark Chester Hunt in9ton, who Is at home. and | sister, Miss Mary Huntington. member of the class of 1923 of the Chaffee school.
 Came Home from ColDege Tuesday
 Huntington came home from col lcSe Tuesday morning and intended to stay several days. His visits wers frequent and this one had no sis- nificance to the family. He was Q round town all day yesterday and seemed in the best of health and spirits. He left his mothers home about 10:3O last night to 70 to the drug store on Main street. . short distance away. He did not reach the tore.
 Thomas Astinowitz. a laborer. xo- ng to his work at S:3O this morn ing. saw Huntington's body in field. close by a fence.
 Detective Hickey said after his in- ury that he gave no significance tn that an automobile had been cen to stop close by shortly before he body was found for he had de- ermined that machines had stopped Ipon seeing the body Of man on he ground for it was in full sight of passersby.
 Hunting left home dressed in white hanneIs. . soft hat and wore l light brown top coat.
 Nh Indication of Trouble
 Apparently there vas no sign that he had been in . struggle. The bull ct wound was back of the left ear. The condition Of the wound was to be determined by the medical ex- r,,innr'a avau,iration
 Both Mir. Hickey ard Constshl. Kennedy questioned residents near he field. which is on the Murphy arm. the boyhood home Of Cover nor John II. Trumbull. and with Deputy Sheriff Greer Of suhield. made an intensive search Of tue icId and reads.
 No one could he found who had ,eard | shot from gun and none ,f taese who saw the body early .ould give information. The h. auiry resolved itself into trying to race Huntington's movements from he time he left home last nigh. Robbery as a motive was quickly eliminated as the contents Of bis pockets were undisturbed and a iiamond ring was on his finger.
 Constable Kennedy, who knew well. said he was re- sarded in town as an excellent 'ounS man.
