Coroner Harry Lewis, Thursday was conducting an investigation of the case of William Bowers, 63 retired farmer, who was found dead under a bed at his home, 278 E. Pearl St, late Wednesday afternoon. He lived alone.
A friend, Alonzo Stemen, worried by absence since Monday of Bowers, called detectives Raymond Hogan and Al Grady, who found the body. Officers and the coroner reported the elderly man apparently had been dead for several days. Altho there was no immediate evidence of foul play, Lewis said he wished to make a thoro investigation before returning a verdict.
