POLICE THINK IT A MURDER

Joplin, Mo., May 20.-- John B. Guinn, who was thought to have committed suicide here Thursday, is now believed by police here to have been murdered.
He was found dead in his office with a bullet hole through the head. The ball had passed through his brain from the left to the right temple and buried itself in a roller-top desk.
From the fact that there were no powder burns visible around the wound at the temple and the peculiar range of the bullet, several physicians repudiate the suicide theory.
There is a story current of a quarrel between Guinn and another prominent Joplin man Thursday afternoon.
