Pennington Death J Seems to be Mystery Hartsville, Oct. 27.?'Police inves1 tigating the fatal shooting of C. M. | Pennington, Hartsville undertaker, today were attempting to segregate | two sets of clues, one of which led I toward a theory of murder and the I other toward one of suicide. J. T. Grant, chief of police, said the "dividing line between the two theories is thin" but admitted tentative identification of a hat and cap found near Pennington's car 4 miles from here Saturday when he was found fatally shot. The chief said he believed the J articles belonged to a white man but he would^reveal no name. Pennington was found shot through the head as he lay in the center of the Hartsville-Ruby highway. He had left home two hours before to visit his parents in Raleigh, N. C. A pistol described as not his own was found on his chest while his fingers clutched a few strands of hair. Officers said the scene represented one of a struggle. Coroner A. H. Kistler at Darlington said today he expected to clear up the mystery by the latter part of the week. He indicated an inquest would be held Friday. The coroner said he was working on a theory of murder that there was a faint possibility of the act having been suicide, f The automobile of Pennington, who died Saturday night, was found parked on the left side of the road with one wheel jacked up. The tire was flat and officers found a tack had ' 1 , ItR ' fe J -. ? ? ^ ? puiivbuitu . ... V* *1 "... and one lug had been removed from the rim.
