He was one of a large group of scientists and professional men who find relaxation in reading this type of literature literature which carries them of themselves land routine life, into excitements which they might never otherwise encounter. Inquiry at various bookstores yesterday elicited the information that thrillers and mystery stories are greatly sought after by doctors and lawyers, and that they were regular customers for all such new works. While many women appear to enjoy this type of literature, the big demand comes from the men. One clerk remembered that a lastminute Christmas shopper, a worried woman, rushed in and demanded a book with "lots of shootings in it." It was for 2 male relative and the obliging clerk got her book with the growsome title, "Road to the Graveyard," by whom, the clerk had forgotten. She went away happy and the relative got his thriller.

He said the weapon appeared 10 have been an automatic pistol, although he WA.S awaiting determination of this point by Cant. Charles J. Van Amburgh, State Police ballistics expert.
The autopsy was performed by Dr. Alan I. Moritz, Harvard pathologist, assisted by Medical Examiner Edward S. Smith and Associate Medical Examiner Itobert D. Hildreth.
