today that he would come to Oklahoma C-ity and have the body of his

Today Walker wrote a letter to County Attorney Reardon asking
ii an inquest had yet been held; whether the suicide theory had been
sustained, and other information concerning the doctor's death.
Walker has just returned from a four weeks' trip through the
western states and did not know his brother was dead until informed
