Buchanan Comes to His Death in Quite an Unknown Manner. Details of Death. (Wednesday's Spartanburg Herald) ^ First Lieut. Dean H. Buchanan, of the 186th machine gun battalion, stationed at Camp Wadsworth, whose home is at Grove City, Pa., was found dead in room 64 of the Brooklyn hotel, on Magnolia street, yesterday shortly after 12 o'clock, death being caused from a pistol shot wound on the right side of the head, just above the ear. It seems that the ball split, one half penterating the brain, the other half penterating the an inch toward the front from the point of entrance and struck the ceiling. The split bullet was picked up on the floor. Coroner Turner held an inquest yesterday during the afternoon and the jury, from the evidence, returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death from a Run shot wound in a manner unknown to the jury. The young officers came into the city from Camp Wadsworth Monday afternoon. Sometime between 4 and 5 o'clock he stopped in at the Brooklyn hotel and asked for a room with a private bath. Dr. Devercaux Turner, the proprietor of the hostelry, assigned him to room C>4 on the third floor. Dr. Turner stated that he was struck with the appearance and bearing of the young man. He did not converse with him and could not say whether he was in a jovial or despondent frame of mind. Tuesday about noon, the bell boy, iJaurens Iliggins, was sent unstairs to locate a call that came in as the wires were crossed and the register did not show up properly. When the boy returned he reported that there was a dead man in room 64. Dr. Turner stated that he, in company with others went to the room and found the body of the young man lying across the bed. His hands were at his side and the pistol was on the left side, the muzzle pointing towards the armpit. He said there was no evidence of a struggle having been in the room. There were several leters on a table in the room. He also saw part of the pistol ball which was picked up on the floor. The ball evidently struck the ceiling above for particles of plaster were found on his coat and hat, which were op a chMr near the bed. ,? * *i&r. Laurence Higgins, the bell boy, described finding the dead body of the young officer. He said he roomed the young man the afternoon he registered, but did not see him again until he found lrim dead in the room yesterday. He said he never saw the man in company with any one. He said he never heard the report of a pistol and did not smell smoke when he entered the room. J. II. Buckner a salesman for the Spartan Hardware company, testified that he had viewed the dead body of Lieut. Buchanan and recognized the deceased as being the man who called at the Spartan Hardware store about 7:30 yesterday morning and purchased two plates, a cup, knife and fork and spoon. "He asked me if I had a revolver and I told him we did not keep them. I asked him what calibre he wanted and he replied it did not make any difference as he wanted it for target practice. He asked if I knew where he could get a pistol and I told him I did not know," said Mr. Buchanan. W. W. Simmons, a salesman in the Palmetto Hardware company, identified the dead body as that of the man who came into his store yesterday morning between 8:30 and 9 o'clock and bought a box of 20 cartridges. He said the young man stated he wanted them for a Iver-Johnson pistol he used in target practice. John Davidson testified that he lives at the Brooklyn hotel and occupies room G8. About 11 o'clock yesterday he was in his room and thought he heard a pistol shot. When he came down stairs he hoard there was a dead man in room G4. Lieut. J. O. Johnson, the commanding officer of Lieut. Buchanan's company, stated to the jury that the young man asked for a leave of absence Monday afternoon which was granted. lie was to have reported at 7 o'clock Tuesday morning. Just before leaving the camp he gave Lieut. Buchanan a list of books to be pur chased for him. Other men in the c mo rrnvc him a list of articles to bo purchased. O. e of the notes found in the room ( f the dead man was addressed to Licit. Johnson. The note explained that the stores were closed on Monday and the articles could not be purcha-ed until Tuesday morning an 1 that he would report at 7:43 Tuesday morning. Lieut. Johnson stated that the young man at one time was an instructor in an American college in Russia and had traveled through ; bU] Sergt. G. Morlni of the Italian Bersa- the gllerl while on patrol stopped a Ger- aw man motorcar carrying General von ^ Berrer, an adjutant and two chauffeurs. He killed the general with the f flr6t shot and put the soldier-chauffeurs to flight. The adjutant, a German cap- I tain, he captured after a struggle, and p]y turned him over to the nearest Italian j)0. command, and then Joined his cycle pa- -\jr trol for further rear-guard action. He *, was wounded later and sent to a hos- j pital in Milan. His daring feat took i place at the gates of Udine during the Italian retreat to the Piave. ??? - - lin; Persia. The young man had told ~ him that he was hard pressed for money on his travels and the cost of purchasing an officers' outfit about exhausted his funds. He and Lieut. Ac! Buchanan came to Camp Wadsworth from Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga. He said he had never met the young man i until they arrived in Spartanburg sho about January 17. rne] The deceased, he said, seemed to hot be a mighty fine fellow. feci Among the letters found in his I room was one to his mother.
