Theft Theory Discounted in Chavis Death
County Attorney Ed J. Kelley discounted robbery as the motive in the death of 55 year old Hen ry Chavis, cannery executive. The victim’s $600 diamond ring remained on his finger when found, suggesting theft was unlikely. Police noted Chavis was in Boone and Des Moines Sunday night and last seen at a cafe on highway 30 between Boone and Ames. An inquest began, with testimony on timing and the single bullet wound.
