ing to the death of Pvt Barney N
Poole, whose badly decomposed body
was found yesterday in a clump of
bushes near the new officers quarters,
Marine Corps officials here asserted

are now proceeding is that Poole fell
while running down steep bank and
was either knocked unconscious OF
was killed by breaking his neck. They
believe the accident occurred during
the night.
Poole had been missing since early
in April.
The two groups which began their
work today were a board of investiga-
ton and board of inquest. 1t is not
expected their reports will be available
before some time next week.
Poole, who was "a years old, was
serving his second enlistment in the
Marine Corps, having first enlisted
on December IL, 1928. His record, it
was said, was good and there were no
indications that he might have made
enemies who would plot his death.
The dead private, records show. is
