ORDER INQUEST
IN ZEPP DEATH

Conflicting statements of COM
panions of Irwin w. zepp, 25, who
is alleged to have shot himself
yesterday morning, after attend
ing a gay party at the Argygle
Country Club, today caused Coro-
ner NeVitt to order an inquest
into his death, to be held to-
morrow. .... ...... ...r
Police at first were inclined to
accept the eyewitness statements
of Mrs. Zepp and a friend OF
the dead man, Cyril Smith, to
the effect that Zepp committed
suicide, although they could as
sign no motive for the act.
Zepp, who is a tapestry and
fabric salesman, lives in the
1900 block of Biltmore Street
N. W., but the shooting occurred
in front of the Connecticut
Apartments, Connecticut Avenue
and M Street Northwest Of which
his father, Raymond w. zepp,
is manager.
Questioning of Mrs. Matte Lou
Zepp and Smith, who is a radio
salesman living in the 1900 block
of Ontario Rd. N. W., led authori-
ties to believe tkaS the dead man
ended his life in a mCrose mood
after heavy drinking at the party
Called Tops Turvy"
Some of their testimony, how
ever, today was characterized as
''topsy turvy" and conflicting in
many details. zepp's col-4panionS
showed evidences of too much
party" Coroner hewitt stated.
The b. ines affairs of the
young man were found to be in
order. No evidence of any serious
marital disagreement was dis
covered, according to Lieut.. Ed
ward j. Kel.J, head of the homi-
eide squad. Both Lieutenant
Kelly and Coroner hewitt said
their investigation revealed that
Zepp had beer drinking just

Left at 2 A. M.
At 2 a. m. zepp and his wife
left the party with Smith, in the
latter's car. They drove to Zepp's
home. and there secured zepp's
own car. Then the trio started
downtown, ostensibly to a restau-
rant to join others who had been
at the country club.
The husband showed the effe cCs
of his depression, Mrs. Zepp sad.
He drove recklesSly and mutt9rei
as he drove.
Smith, knowing of the young
couples intention to visit the res
taurant, folloWedsin his own car
Zepp halted his car in front of
an apartment house in the 100
block Connecticut Ave. N. w, of
which his father is manager ard
where his wife is employed as tel
ephone operator. He left his car.
1t was later learned that he
had gone into his wife's room
and obtained a gun.
Mrs. zepp, who asked Smith
to follow her husband into the
apartment, said that he had told
her during their drive downtown:
"I'm going to show you some
thing you have never seen be.
FORE"
Heard Gun Click
Smith said that he waited for
zepp, who had told him he was
going to a lavatory. When the
latter returned they walked out
together. Smith heard the click
of the gun as Zepp placed it
against his own side, but when
he rushed up bullet already
had been fired and Zepp fell. He
was taken into the office of DR..
Sterling Ruffin, who lives in the
apartment. and pronounced dead.
