Atlanta, Ga., April 14—A pistol
bullet in the head early Monday

manwho once was the brilliant,
hard-hitting chief of the Atlanta

of E. C. Stegall, 58, whose racket-
bursting police career was halted
abruptly, almost 20 years ago,when
he shot and killed a private de
tective and wounded two other
men.
A coroner's jury, assembled Mon
day in Marietta, said Mr. Stegall
shot himself with suicidal intent
at his home Monday morning. His
wife said he had been in ill
health.
