In Re Estate Of Murray

On May 1, 1945, about six a.m., Buford Murray shot himself through the forehead with a .22-caliber rifle in the dining room of Harry Parsons' farm home, where he had been a guest since the evening of April 29th. Parsons, seventy-one, his wife, sixty-four, and their unmarried daughter Isabelle, twenty-five, were at home at the time but did not witness the shooting. Murray died about an hour later, soon after he was taken to a hospital in Fairfield.
