The d T.d man lay on his back and the revolver was on the floor by the side of th" couch. The hull from -i 44 calib'T "olfs revolver had entered the lewer left jnw. crushing it. and had oa-sed out of tii.- bft side of the top of the head. It was the opinion of the doctfir that he had died instantly. Justice riiirnctt was notified f the shooting and. jjoinpr to th- 'Iray resi dence, impaneled a jury from among thf.se who bad assembler! there. The members of th jury are K. S. ;usp1I, H. 1- I'.ixby. T. It. Ment. S. S. Stout. S. A .Holley and K. H. Martin. The bofly was viewed aiul the imniest was ad journed until half past four o'clo k in the afternoon. In the meantime th" street was filled with ruimrs concerning the motive for the suicide. Some said it was worry about financial affairs and others said it was worry ovf r a va y w a id son. David Gray, until a month aj?o a derlr in th M'hIcI grocery, when he suddenly left iowii under circumstances which were fsaid to be extraordinarily flis iresr ins1 to his fath r. Kv.'tt this latter rumor was found to be greatly exas gerated, and though his goinr, away may have been distrssincr. ther- wuts nothius: in that Incident over which one would Kiv way to a fatal brocdins. When the inquest Svas resumed rief;rj;e Oray was put on the stand. He tol l the story recited above, and in re ply t u question as to whether his uThcr had had any business troubles he rr-;lied that he had none that he knew of. K -plyin to a question re garding any domestic perplexities, he mentioned the fact of his brother hav ing k ne away and thoiht that had Siven him Kiiuu trouble. Tiie next witness was Frank Sinijji linc a partner of Mr. Oray in the Mod;d grocery. H said he had not seen the lead man since Monday about noon. H" was then complaining of being ilt ,and had been complaining for abftut a week. Mr. Smithline said he had newr heard his partner allude to the de parture tt his son and he knew of no reason why' he should commit suicide. He was not aware that he was in anv financial difficulty. The only other w it nei-ses w ere Ir. Hushes and Thomas Hem. Though some. ,f the jurors r-ignirtd that the evidence al ready put in was sufficient, the justice thought it woufd be better to continue the inquest until today, that Airs. Oray and Mrs. lient ntisht be present. Th:y were anions the first w ho had seen the body and Mrs. Oray had found the re volver and had handed it to Mrs. lient.
