In his son's absence he wrote a note saying that if he tried to live after going blind it would be harder for both himself and his son to get along. "God bless your little family" he wrote, and then penned bequests to his grandchildren. To Eugene he left his ring, to Richard his watch, and to Harry his pocket knife. His son returned to find him dead in his chair, a bullet wound in the right temple and a .25 caliber automatic lying on the table. Lieut. Bray and police officers Clark and Greer investigated. on July 7, 1926.4
