Autopsy Reveals Man
Found in Street Died
From Bullet Wound
Frank c. Kelly 56,
Was on Way Home
From Central High

A bullet wound in the back of
the neck was responsible for the
death of Frank C. Kelly, 56, of
1904 New Hampshire avenue
NV, who was found dying last
night on a sidewalk in the 25oC
block of Eleventh street NV.
Inspector Robert j. Barrett, chief
Of detectives, said this afternoon the
wound was discovered in an autopsy
performed after police earlier had
expressed belief that Mr.. Kelly a
War Department electrician, had
died of natural causes.
The detective chief said the wound
suggested the victim was murdered
or hit by a stray bullet. The fact
that his wallet was found on the
body was believed to preclude
robbery motive, Inspector Barrett
said.
Found by Policemen. -.
Mr.. Kelly, who had attended a
Parent Teacher Association meeting
at Central High School last night,
was found on the sidewalk across
the street from the school at about
1920 pm. The discovery was made
by two cruising policemen, Pvts.
Robert j. Wagner and Theodore r.
Stewart of No. 13 police precinct,
who reported hearing noise that
sounded like a gun shot.
Taken to Garfield Hospital, Mr..
Kelly was pronounced dead at 1880
pm. Police said a streetcar token
was clutched in one of his hands.
Members of the police homicide
squad were called in when deep
cash was noticed on Mr.. Kelly's
forehead. Deputy Coroner Christie
pher j. Murphy inspected the wound,
but found no indication a bullet had
entered there.
On Way Home From P-TA.
At the autopsy today it was found
that a bullet apparently had entered
the shoulder before striking the
neck. .t. -,
An electrician for the War De-
partment for the past 10 years, Mr..
Kelly was on his way home from a
parent-teacher association meeting.
He was born in Philadelphia and
came to Washington as boy. He
was a member of Holy Name So
ciety of st. Gabriels Catholic
Church, 26 Grant Circle NV.
Survivors include his widow, Mrs.
Rose Kelly; two sons, Jack and Will
liam Kelly; two daughters, Mrs. Rose
Simmons and Miss Edith Kelly, and
three grandchildren, all of Wash
ington.

QUIZ BOX

Telegraphic Agency, mc.)

QUESTION: What do we mean
when we refer to this Saturday
as "Parshas Shekalim"?
ANSWER: This Sabbath is
known as a special Sabbath in the
synagogue and is called "Parshas
Shekalim." It is marked by hav-
ing an additional portion from the
Five Books of Moses read from
the Scroll EXODUS 30:11-16) aug
menting the regular weekly por-
ton ascribed for this Sabbath.
Also, a special reading from the
prophets III Kings 11:17-12:1O is
substituted for the regular pro-
phetic reading that additionally
would accompany the usual Pente-
teuchal portion. In many syna-
gogues special prayers are also
chanted in honor of the occasion
called "Yotzroth."
QUESTION: Why is this done?
ANSWER: The occasion of
"Parshas Shekalim" commemor-
ates an ancient practice that was
observed in the days of the Temple.
AS is recorded in the Talmud
(Tractate Shekalim) an annual
tax of one half-shekel was i'm
posed upon the Israelites for the
upkeep of the Temple and its rit-
ualistic sacrifices. This tax was
due on or before the first day of
the month of Nissan, which is the
month during which Passover &C.

on the first day of the month ~
Adar,w hich is just one month ha
fore the deadline.
The synagogue, which is Tho
center of Jewish life, was not to ha
left untouched by these prepar.
atoms. Consequently, it was de.
creed that the Biblical portion in
the Book of Exodus which de.
scribed the first such tax imposed
for the construction of certain
elements in the Sanctuary, was to
be read on the Sabbath either on
or before the beginning of the
month of Adar. The special pro.
phetic portion which is read from
the Book of Kings, tells of the DAYS
Of King Johoash and Jehoida, the
High Priest, when the government
of Israel was wrested from the
wicked Athaliah who had corrupt.
ed and defiled the Temple, and the
populace set about repairing the
Sanctuary, by accepting contribu-
lions from the people for the "Rat-
ing of the SOUL" This particular
portion was very likely chosen to
impress upon the minds of the
people who brought the tax the
idea that their contribution was
a means of rededicating their souls
and their Temple.
