The discovery solves the mystery of Silent's disap pearance 12 days ago, which has kept the student body on edge with exdte rnent since it first became known last Saturday night that he was missing, bur as yt tlif secret of the time and thf manner of his death remain un:; Wolvtc.

W. Harbough and W. H. Hill, two of the deceased's \u25a0 fraternity '•brothers and closest •friends, reached the campus. The searching party disbanded and the sor rowful tidings were carried a.t once to Judge Charles Silent of Los 'Angeles, the young man's father, who has been directing the search eince Sunday from Palo Alto. . BODYFOCXD IS: LAKE "••Felt lake, the scene: of the tragedy. ties among the foothills" in the edge of the Stanford estate, two and a half miles -southwest o* the university I'air.fus, close to the road which runs westward from May field past the ro mantic old brick ruin known as French man"* tower. The lake, formed by the convergence of two mountain streams, is dammed at , the* outlet to provide a reserve reservoir for the university, and its edges are thick" with tules and rushes. It spreads over several acres in a little natural amphitheater among the hills and is from 20 to 30 feet In depth. In this lonesome spot, a quarter of a rr.ile from -the nearest road, the two students who have been searching- since Saturday night for some trace of their friend, found the body floating at the surface of the water, close to the rushes of th» east bank. ' Further from shore; toward . the center of th* lake, was an old skiff •without oars, which" Is usually kept moored at a little .-clearing, on one of the banks. The evidence of the tragedy were unmistakable, for it was found when the body was taken from the water that almost the entire skull had been shot away/ There was, how ever, no sign of the'shotgun from which the charge muet have been ftfed, and it is supposed to lie somewhere at the bottom of the. lake. Until this gun has been recovered and identified it will be impossible to determine* beyond all doubt whether foul play was committed. MURDER THEORY DISCARDED A careful consideration of all the circumstances surrounding the mystery has led. however, to the general dis carding of " the murder ". theory, .-and .»it is believed thit Silent either "ehot him self accidentally while paddling about the lake or that -death Tras, ; due to sui cide. While a few things tend to strengthen the latter" theory, no,reason ably accepted, motive for such an act has been' advanced and. the finding of the coroner's jury Will probably be* that Silent came, to accidental death by bis oven band. Since Sunday, when Judge Silent, who is one of Lk)6 Angeles' most, prominent capitalists, .came .to Palo Alto ; to taKe active charge of the search, every* effort liad been exhausted" to find j?ome^ clew that would lead •to t he discovery of the young man's whereabouts.
