W O't'onnell, former marshal of Victor, Colo., frame to h!a death Haturdsy evening by falling from a four-story window In the rear of the Markham hotel In Denver. There Is doubt as to whother O'Connell met with an accident, committed com-mitted suicide, or waa murdered. The police hold to tbe milclde theory, on the ground that an accident would be almost ImiMisslble, as tbe window In the toilet room from which O'Connell O'Con-nell fell was not open more than two feet The friends of ( Cnnnell declare de-clare the dead man waa murdered, aa he was seen not more thsn ten minutes before his death and at that lime was in a cheerful mood. They df-clere that he had many enemlea who would not hesitate to kill him. Against this theory Is the fsct that none of his enemies have been seen In tha neighborhood of the hotol and there la no evidence of struggle. |
