ONLY DEATH CLUE
IS IN HANDKERCHIEF
Officials Disagree on Wheth-
er Harvard Student Slew
Self or Was Murdered.
BY the Associated Press.


WINDSOR, Conn, May ia wom-
ans blooo-Stained handkerchief, appar-
emily Redeemed in ministration to a man
dying. II not already dead, remains after
Jour days the only concrete clue before
officials trying to decide whether Wal
ter Treadway Huntington of this town,
Harvard student, was killed or commit
ted SuNSd0
The soriid drama has caused sharp
disagreement among offlcial investiga-
tors. and throughout New England pub
lie interest was centered on the case.
The woman's handkerchief was cited
by Medical Examiner Henry Costello of
Hartford as evidence refuting the per-
sistent belief Of County Detective Ed
ward Hickey that Huntington took his
own life.
The bullet that pierced the Harvard
juniors head. said the medical exam
liner, would have instantly paralyzed him
II 1t did not kill him at once. And yet
acceptance OF the county detectives the
DRY depends on belief that after shoot
ing himself the student wiped his wound
with half dozen handkerchiefs.
Believe Put in Pocket.
The woman's handkerchief. smeared
with blood and brain tissue, was found
in Huntingtons hip pocket with two
other handkerchiefs. Costello insisted
they must have been placed there by
some one else than the student, posi-
bly, by the woman who owned the tiny
handkerchief.
The county detective, alone in his
assurance that Huntington died by his
own hand, will, it was indicated. get no
support in this theory from Coroner j.
Gilbert Calhoun. This official is ex-
pected to make public his own report of
the shooting soon.
May Side With Doctors.
He has intimated he will side with
both Dr. Costello and Medical Examiner
Aaron T. Pratt of Windsor. who main
tain theories of homicide. Coroner CAL
houn in his investigation decided to dis
penSe with formal inquest hearing.
Mr. Costello's citation of the six hand
kerchiefs in Huntington's pockets as
demonstrating the youth was not alone
when shot, was answered tonight by
Hickey, who said that he had learned
the student had handkerchief mania"
and that it was not unusual for him to
have as many as eight in one suit.
