Quiz Pressed In Gun Death | |
A second period of questioning in the prosecutor's office
today faced a man and his son who were hunting with Glenn E. Razor, 31 , when
Razor was shot fatally 21 minutes after the bird season opened a week ago. John A. Mowatt, assistant prosecutor, said he would talk to Chester Cox, 53, of 34887 Stillwagon, Wayne, and his son, Marvin, 15, about Razor's death. Cox and Razor had been hunting companions for about 10 years. Both work in the sane Trenton auto plant. THEY WERE, questioned last week when it was believed that Razor, of 29194 Sheridan, Garden City, had shot himself accidently with his own shotgun. The report of Dr. Edward S. Zawadzki, Wayne County medical examiner, made public yesterday, showed the self-shooting was impossile. Zawdzki said he recovered more than 50 pellets of No. 4 shot from Razor's face, head, neck and shoulders, and said the fatal shot was fired from a distance of at least 60 feet. Razor's gun used ammunition that fired No. 7-1/2 shot, according to Detectives Thomas Bagot and Louis Anschultz of the sheriff's office. COX'S GUN, which had not been fired at the time, also used No. 7-1/2 shot, Marvin Cox's gun uses No. 4 shot ammunition. Cox, father of seven children, told this story of the hunting trip yesterday: "My son and I set out with Glen together. I had a dog along, and the dog got involved in a fight with another dog. "Marvin and I stayed back a bit until we separated the dogs, then went to catch up with Glenn. "In the meantime, Glenn continued ahead on his own, |
a little to the right of us." "I HEARD FROM one to three shots down near the Huron River, where we later found Glenn. I thought it must have been Glenn firing at some birds." "Almost at the same time some birds flushed in front of us, and Marvin took a shot at them. I didn't fire, and Marvin didn't get any of the birds." "our dog joined us and we headed down to where we thought Glenn was, I called him and got no answer. The I saw his boots sticking out from some high weeds." "while I was waiting for the dog, I saw two other hunters in the area. When I went down to where Razor was, I saw them walk away." The shooting occurred along Huron River Drive near Haggerty, Van Buren Township. AT THE TIME of the shooting, Deputy Albert Tartt, who was first to the scene, said Cox told him he was not hunting with Razor. Asked yesterday why, Cox aid. "I just tried to say I wasn't right with him at the time he was shot, I was about 60 yards away." Detectives also were trying to find who stole a pheasant that was found at Razor's side when he was shot. Tartt said he put the bird, along with Razor's cap and gun in his scout car immediately after he found Razor wounded. WHEN HE RETURNED to the scout car, after helping put Razor in an ambulance, the gun and cap still were in the scout car. Deputies said they wanted to discover whether the bird had been shot earlier by Razor, or whether it was killed by the same gun that wounded Razor fatally. |
