Architect ENDS
LIFE WITH GUN

Joseph Arthur Younger, 81,
architect, who was found dead
from gunshot wound early to-
day in his apartment, S031 Sedg-
wick st. N. W., committed suicide,
according to a certificate issued
by Deputy Coroner A. Magruder
Macdonald.
Younger was shot once through
the heart with a As caliber Army
revolver. Death was instanta'
neous.
Younger shot himself in bed
while his wife, Mrs. Ethel E.
Younger, read a magazine in an
adjoining twin bed.
Police who first arrived on the
scene found Mrs. Younger in hys-
terics and were inclined to be-
lieve that Mr.. Younger had met
with foul play. This theory, how
ever, was quickly dissipated, al
though so far no reason for the
man to commit suicide has been
advanced.
Bruce, 9-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Younger, who was
asleep, was not disturbed by the
shot.
Younger was one of the better
known of the young architects in
Washington. Among his most
recent works was the design of
the Kennedy-Warren apartments.
Several years ago he won the
Board of Trade award for his de-
sign of the Sixth Presbyterian
Church at SIXTEENTH and Kennedy
