with that piece of lead Davis hoped to determine whether it was fired from the rusty gun found in the dead man’s hand and to check the course it followed. He said its trajectory, as- indicated by tears in a canvas lawn swing in which the body was found; did not check with a description Mr. Morris gave of the j position in which the body was -| ing. The swing was found at the home of a friend of the man from whom the Morrises leased the estate. Jimmy Kirkwood, 12-year-old son of Lila Lee, screen actress, told police he saw a detective pry the bullet from the framework of the swing | at the original investigation’ and lose it in the grass.

Although investigators at first scoffed at the youth’s story, a checkup by Capt. Clyde Plummer verified young Kirkwood's statement. Officer Percy Jones of Manhattan Beach police admitted digging a bullet from the. swing’s frame but threw it away when he found it was a 22 caliber, Capt. Plummer said.

At this service members were present from Carrollton Avenue Reformed, Broadway Evangelical, Fifty-First Street M. E., Fairview Presbyterian and Northwood Christian Churches. Four South Side churches held a union service in the Shelby Street M. E. Church. Co-operating churches were Meadlawn Christian, Garfield Park Baptist and Garfield Christian.
