William d. Kennedy, 81, a truck
gardener, committed suicide today

Kennedy was found dead by his

himself in the heart with a double
barrelled. 12-gauge shotgun.
Since it would have been impos-
sible for him to have reached the
trigger with either hand in the
position i'm which the weapon must
have been hel. because of the
length of the barrels. investigators
believed Kennedy used his left
foot to discharge the gum He had
removed his left shoe.
Kennedy had been unable to
work for nearly two years because
of a stomach ailment. He ate little
breakfast today. complaining of
nervousness. When his brother,
John f. Kennedy, saw him walk

.s
The coast guardsmen who
sank the British schooner I'm
Alone with gunfire off the
Louisiana coast late yesterday
were entirely within their
rights and will be backed to
fhe limit, it was asserted here
today by Rear Admiral F. c..
Billiard, commandant of the
Coast Guard.
Meanwhile, the State Department
was anticipating an inquiry from
the British government concerning
the facts in the case, although none
had been made this forenoon.
The sinking Of the I'm Alone is
the, first foreign craft of any size
that has been sunk in the rum
running war.
Notorious as Runner
Admiral Billiard said the I'm
Alone was ''the most notorious rum.
runner" operating along American
coasts. For several years, he said
she operated in New England waters
and only lately transferred activities
to Southern waters.
The I'm Alone was an excep-
tIonalIy fast vessel. far too fast for
the Coast Guard ships that chased
her whenever they sighted her.
Always she outdistanaed them.
Reports received by Billiard said
the I'm Alone was We'll within
American territorial waters when
the encounter took place.
Rights Held Clear
"Under the law" he said, "the
Coast Guard vessels, Dexter and
Walcott,. were clearly within thei%
rights in sinking the vessel because
she was resisting arrest within our
territorial waters
Whether the British government
will take a similar view. however,
il, another matter. Those who are
familiar with the diligence with
which the British government pro-
tects it's nationals, particularly on
the seas. do not have much doubt
but representations will be made.
The exact nature of such repre-
sentatious will depend, of course.
