STAB WOUNDS ARE CAUSE OF DEATH
C.E. Griffith, 63 years old, died in the City Hospital last night as the result of throat cuts.
He was found Monday in his room at the Palace Hotel, 912 First Ave., and could not recall how he recieved the wound. It happened during a drinking party Saturday night, he told police. The body was taken to the harpst Funeral Home. Dr. P.C. West, county autopsy surgeon, said today he would investigate possible foul-play theories despite the fact that deputy coroners classed the case as a suicide. He so decided after learning that City Hospital attendants considered the cut an unusual one for the victim to have inflicted. Coroner's deputies found a razor in the bathroom of Griffith's room.
