 Dr Remer's opinion was sup. Forted by Dr Dean LeFevre,. the Grst physlcian to examine tho body
 Authorities could find nothing ln Browns iifo to provide motive for suicide or murder. His business affairs were In good shape, he. wos happily married, and he had no enemies, friends, his widow, and his mother nll said.
 The authorities found clues which only made tho mystery more Involved Brown was found dead in a house abiaze with light, but with every door and widow locked. Ills keys were on tho mantle and he wore an overcoat. At his side was . pistol, It's muyzle elogged with mud,

 Authorities gave consideration to h theory that Brown might have Killed himself under cireumstanees indicating homicide because m analogous situation in 1929 made him an important witness in the violent deaths of two friends and brought him much unwanted pubi 1icity.
