 Hartford. May II (UP)-Brand- ing reports that Walter Treadway Huntington, Windsor Harvard stu- dent, was slain after an affair with girl as nonsense" County Detec- tive Edward J. Hickey explained in an exclusive interview with the United Press today the basis for his suicide hypothesis.
 Tt is staring me in the face" Hickey declared. T must believe Walter Huntington shot himself lakt Wednesday morning until l discover evidence that will knock down laat theory"
 Hickey is in charge of the insestt. gation.
 Remorse over ''indiscretions' :est- ifed to by Huntington'a Harvard classmates drove the youth to tale his life, according to the detective.
 The bullet missed the temple and he lived several minutes after the bullet crashed throuhg his skull. dy- ing in agony. Hickey said. The youths right hand was clenched as in pain when the body was found in . roadside swamp three miles from the center of the quiet farming and residential town of Windsor. Had Been to Parties
 Every detail of Huntington's life during the period just prior to h.s death supports of suicide. declared the sleuth.
 Yesterday's hurried trip to Cam bridge. Mass.. brought new evidence to support hts belief, Hickey said. In company with Chief Inspector Patrick J. Hurley, the county detec- tive questioned classmates of Hunt ington and gained the admission that the Windsor youth had been on sew eral parties" in recent weeks. Huntington appeared to have been worrying over an injury received on one of these escapades. according to Hickey.
 Sketch Reveals State Of Mind The detective believed a sketch drawn by Huntington a few day, before his death indicated his state of mind. The crude pencil drawing depleted . convict with a revolve, pointing at his head. Underneath were the words. "A. Baldwin, want. ed for murder. S1O,0O0 reward" l A telegram found in the student. dormitory room at Harvard told hin that his boyhood chum, Burdett Will. Hams. would be in Boston Saturda, and asked him to meet him.
 In his agitated state of mind, tho detective believes, Huntington dit not want to meet his closest friend and hurriedly departed for. Wind. sor.
 Hickey said he had accounted fol every moment of Huntington's time from his arrival home until 10:30 D m. Tuesday night when he left hi, big white home in the center of the town never to return.
 Claims No Girl In Case
 At no time did he associate witt a girl. the detective asserted.
 Hickey said he had in his DOS. session. a letter written by Hunt. ington to a friend in Windsor con, fessing an indiscretion and ending ir . remorseful manner:
 What d-- foolishess."
 On Tuesday evening. Huntington was with Williams until 1o:30. Ii was Williams custom when drivins

Hickey Says Student Ended Life
 In Remorse Over "lnGscretion' y

Huntington home in his automobile to take him up to the porte cocherc. Hickey learned. This night Hunt ington asked his friend to leave him tn front of the house and ran up the steps.
 Hickey believes Huntington vert to his room; on the second floor, took an automatic revolver from the box that later was found there. told his mother he was going to the drug store" and left the house.
 Investigation revealed that young Huntington had 2 mania" for tlrc- arms. the detective said. He had always possessed guns and had given at least two to Windsor friends.
 Huntington was alone when he walked out over the dirt road to hls death. He was alone when he paced the boggy field smoking many ci- garettes and throwing the butts among the violets, Hickey believes.
 "Why. if Huntington was with q girl" Hickey asked, should he have gone to swamp for his rendezvous when nearby was dry land and . vacant house."
 Had Handkerchief Complex" The presence of six handkerchiefs five of them bloodstained, in Hunt ington's pocket was to be regard .d as unusual" the detective admitted, but the detective said he founl Huntington had seemed to have . handkerchief complex" All of his suits contained from three to eight handkerchiefs, Hickey explained and in his Harvard room he found literally dozens. of all sizes and colors.
 Apparently Huntington wiped his head with the handkerchiefs aftci he shot himself. and then re placed the handkerchicfs in his pocke; Hickey said.
 Why" the sleuth demanded should . murderer take his vic tims handkerchiefs and wipe off tn, face of the man he had killed?'
 Thinks Youth Threw Gun Away Hickey said he believed the boy in his death agony. hurled the re. volver away. It may have sunk ir the nearby quicksands and it ma, have landed in the nearby road and been picked up.
 The latter theory is held most probable by the detective. Hicke, said one of the many tobacco work. CTS walking by on their way to the fields might have picked up the weapon and been driven by fear o being implicated 10 withhold it from authorities.
 Hickey pointed out if was quite possible for passer-by to hay, picked up the revolver without see ing Huptington's body. Constabl, Maurice Kennedy. searching for tn, body last Wednesday morning passed it by.
 Harvard college authorities re vealed on his trip to Cambridg' yesterday, Hickey, said. that Hunt ington had been worried over hi physical condition and had consult cd the college physician.
 The boys letters. found in hi room, revealed he was in a rathe morbid state Of adolescence, the de tective said.
