Jury Probes Official's Death By HARRY FERGUSON UPI National Reporter FRANKLIN, little town is more than 5,000 miles away from London's Baker Street, but the "Case of the Nine Bullet Holes" would fascinate Sherlock Holmes. Like many things in Texas these days, it is connected with the collapse of Billie Sol Estes' lousiness empire. The question a grand jury here is trying to decide is whether a man could commit suicide by shooting himself five times with a 22-caliber bolt-action rifle.

Each shot would involve five separate hand motions. Or was Henry H. Marshall murdered? He was the head of the Production Adjustment Department of the U. S. Department of Agriculture office in Texas.

One of his duties was to look into cotton allotments, including hose of Estes now under federal and sate charges of fraud and violaion of Texas' antitrust laws. Found On Ranch body was found last June 3 on the ground of his ranch, eight miles northeast of here. The rifle was nearby. A justice of the peace investigated and ruled it suicide. Marshall was biiried, and the case might have been forgotten by everybody ex" cept members of his immediate family when the Estes case broke.

Wednesday, Texas Atty. Gen. Will Wilson and Dist. Atty. Bryan Russ, both of whom are here digging into the Marshall mystery, issued a subpoena for a Depart-' ment of Agriculture report, written in October of last year and dealing with Estes' -farming enterprises.

Whether Marshall information for the report before bis death has not been specified so far. But Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman has said the' Estes case was difficult to investigate because Marshall took so many answers to the grave with him. Performs. Autopsy On Tuesday, Marshall's body was disinterred and an autopsy was conducted Dr. Joseph Jachimczyk, noted pathologist.

His preliminary finding subject to revision that there were nine bullet holes in the body. Five were on the side of the abdomen and were described as entry wounds. Four were in the back and the preliminary ruling was that one of the five fired into the side of the abdomen fragmented in the body. But Jachimczyk also advanced the tentative theory that one of the holes in in the back was an entry wound.

Originally, poppy day was to commemorate the war dead. This conception has changed, and the campaign now honors all veterans, living and dead. veterans make the flowers in government hospitals and special convalescent workshops. Manufacturing the poppies aids the veteran', both, financially and psychologically.

They are paid for the work they do regardless of any government, compensation they are receiving, and the job is a relief from hours spent in a hospital ward. Money derived from the sale of the flowers provides necessities and comforts not supplied-by the some savings toward the day of the veteran's release, and financial assistance for his dependents.

United- Press International CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) Scott Carpenter r.ode three times in crbit around the earth today but overshot his planned Atlantic landing area and gave recovery forces an 'anxious 40 minutes before they found him. Space officials lost radio contact with the astronaut shortly after 12:30 p.m; CDT and said it appeared he had overshot'by 200 miles the scheduled landing- area 80Q miles southeast of here. But a Navy search, aircraft subsequently picked up thet space- craft's radio landing foeacon and followed it to find Carpenter perched in a life raft. The planes discovery was reported to reporters here at 1:22 p.m. The Aurora-7.

was riding the waves: near the At 1:32 p.m.. the Navy, plane reported after a close look that Carpenter was "apparently sitting comfortably in. his raft." Two para-medics, men with parachutes, leaped the to attach a large flotation bag to-.

The 37-year-old astronaut began his flight, a fact-finding mission in space, at 7:45 a.m.* CDT. after the smoothest countdown in the history of he Mercury man-in- I orbit program. i At about 12:18 p.m.. braking rockets to bring his craft down I from orbit were fired as he ap- I proached the southwest coast of the United States. He had reported everything i aboard the craft in good coiiili- tion for the fiery descent through atmosphere to splash down in the Atlantic I As expected, radio contact was lost during the descent because of ionization of the atmosphere by the heat generated by air friction.

Overshot the Mark Officials concluded when contact was 1 not quickly regained that Carpenter's craft had come in at an angle which meant he had overshot the mark. They estimated the overshot at. about 200 miles. Planes with para-medics aboard, were dispatched to search far the craft, (presumably bobbing in the There, was a moment during his seccml orbit -when groun'i monitors feared it might be necessary to limit his flight to two orbits. Fuel supply Threat This featf was caused by indications that the fuel supply for the rpacec-aft's jet controls was being used up too rapidly.

Offi- cials ordered Carpenter by radio to hand control of the jets to conserve the supply. They decided after looking at the information transmitted from spacecraft instruments that enough fuel was left to keep the cabin pointed right for another and' final orbit. Depletion of control fuel forced termination after two orbits of the orbital flight made last November, by Enos, the chimpanzee astronaut. John H. Glenn Jr.

also experienced difficulty with his controls in his flight Feb. 20. But he was. able to complete the scheduled three trips, around the earth. Carpenter, flying at 17,532 miles an hour, completed his first orbit at about 9:19 a.m.
