The body of Francis D. Cammann, president of the Kansas City Curbing Works, was found in an alley at 1451 Holmes Street. A bullet hole in his temple and a 36 caliber revolver in his hand suggest suicide, though authorities consider possible foul play. Cammann, who lived at 1009 East Fifteenth Street with his wife and two children, had been involved in alleged crooked dealings and reportedly warned friends of threats by former associates. Police dispute the suicide theory and pursue other leads.
