Show PAUL B. KING MEETS DEATH WASHINGTON, April 12 (HE) Capt. Paul D. King, 38, son of Senator Sen-ator King, Dcm., Utah, was killed last night in a seven-story plunge from his hotel room. Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald, acting with great secrecy, was investigating in-vestigating today to determine whether the fall was accidental or a case of suicide. Senator King said his son, a world war veteran and former aviator avia-tor had been in a hospital in New York for several weeks until he came here a week ago. He was born in Provo. Hotel clerks said that as far as they knew, King had not been out of his room since he registered. They said he had sent out for some food on Sunday, but had not eaten since then. King's wife and 16-year-old daughter live in an apartment on the outskirts of the city. He apparently ap-parently had not visited them since he came here a week ago. |
