 LISTED AS SUICIDE.
Police Conclude Investigation Of
 eX-SOldier'S Violent End
REPORT RESOLVES WIDOW
Strange Method of Silver street Man In Directing Course of Bullet Prompted Authorities to Invcsti- gate All Phases of Case.

Following an exhaustive invcStiga- ton into all the circumstances Of the death Of Tony KirkloWski, 3G, of 39 Silver street, at New Britain Gen. eral hospital last Thursday morning, Detective Sergeant w. P. McCue an nounced today that the police report, for which Dr. John Purncy, assistant medical examiner, has been waiting, will state that Kirklowslli committed suicide.
 Last Wednesday night Kirklowskj put a pistol to hi~ left breast and pulled the trigger. His wife wit messed the deed, and one of their children saw Kirklowski reel into the bedroom from the kitchen and put the pistol under the mattress. Then he stumbled back to the kitchen and fell to the floor, being unable to get up as his life blood oozed slowly from the wound.
 Said He Shot Himself
 Taken to the hospital, KirklowsNi told the police he had shot himself. but the story seemed deserving of a probe, and an autopsy was per formed, after which kirklOwsk;'s s widow was summoned to the detec- tive bureau, where she was inter rogatcd last Sunday and again yes terday. Sergeant McCue said today that he had felt right along that It vas @ case of suicide, but he wanted 10 be satisfied as to certain details before closing the matter.
 Act Causes Investigation
 Although most suicides by shoot ing are committed by sending a bull let through the head, kirkloWSNi very dramatically placed fife pisto! against his breast. Apparently he intended to shoot himself through the heart, but the autopsy disclosed that the bullet entered above the heart, piercing the lung and grazing a rib, finally lodging near the right shoulder blade. This course caused the authorizes to speculate as to kirIlowSki's ability to hold a pistol in his right hand and maneuver f about to the left breast and pull thc trigger. They also wondered abOat the probability of a struggle for the pistol, which might account for the
