attempting to examine his revolver
when it failed to discharge a cartridge.
Joseph Gajowski, Kaczor's compan
ion at the time of the shooting, was
held for Investigation, though he in
sisted that Kaczor shot himself, and
he has since made a clearer statement
stating that Kaczor wap ‘‘breaking”
the revolver when the shot entered
his stomach. The fact that puzzled
the authorities most w'as that the ro
volver was found In a nearby shed,
but Coroner Rotacher believes that
one of the neighbors threw the weapon
there after the shooting.
Gajowski will probably be released.
