BELIEF
Police Prefer Suicide Theory,
But See Accident Possible;
No Cause to Die, Says Wife

An attempt will be made today
at a coroner's inquest to pene-
trate the mystery, as deep as any
in fiction, which surrounds the
fatal shooting yesterday of jeff
Bowers, 26, manager of a Peoples
Hardware Store at 1911 Seventh
st. N. w.
Three different theories will be
Advanced-Suicide, murder and
accidental death.
Suicide, Say Police
The homicide squad incIines
strongly to the suicide theory, al
though admitting an accidental
discharge OF the weapon also is
prObabIe. Mrs. Bowers Is con-
vinced her husband was mtlr-
dered. =
1t is contended by the homicide
squad that. the store manager
was slain by his own gun, found
in a closed drawer near the spot
where he was shot. BalliStics
tests are said to have shown the
bullet was fired from the gun.
While members of the homicide
squad insist that i'll health drove
Bowers to take his own life, Mrs
Bowers declared:
my husband was murdered.
He had no reason to commit
suicide"
Bowers had been in the store
alone waiting on customers
during the morning and, so far
as is known was in good spirits.
Carpenter Hears Cry
John Hoffman, a carpenter,
was repairing a lock in rear of
the store. he said. when he heard
"a kissing sound" and a sort of
cry.
He rushed into the store and
found Bowers lying face down
ward. The store manager was
unconscious. There were no
signs Of struggle and neither

On the contrary, they are de

their course of action.

The Senator so indicated to-

full bench of the Supreme
Court today had decided that

ing and exposing liquor for
