The following account of his tragic death appeared in the Balti- more Sun of May 8, 1906 :
HOWARD CARY FOUND SHOT.
LONDON, May 7 .- The death of Howard Cary, of New York, who was found on May 4 shot dead in his bed at a Kensington boarding house, is being investigated by the coroner. Seemingly it is a case of suicide.
91
VIRGINIA FAMILIES
Cary arrived here May 2, and was staying at the boarding house with his cousin, Lord Fairfax. The latter testified to-day at the inquest that he and Cary dined and went to the theater together on May 3. Cary seemed to be quite cheerful.
Other witnesses testified to finding Cary dead, with a revolver grasped in his right hand and a bullet wound in his right temple. He was dressed in evening clothes, and there was no sign of a struggle in the room.
The doctor who made the post-mortem examination said he found a bullet flattened behind the left ear. It was certainly a case of suicide, he thought.
The coroner said that he desired to make further inquiries before the jury rendered its verdict. The inquest was adjourned.
Howard Cary was a son of Mr. Clarence Cary, of 17 East Fifty-fourth Street, New York. He was 24 years old and a graduate of Harvard University. No reason for his death can be furnished by his relatives.
The young man sailed from New York three weeks ago. Lord Fairfax, his cousin, with whom he made his home while in London, was a resident of New York City for several years before assuming his title.
Guy Fairfax Cary, a brother of the dead man, says that he does not believe Howard committed suicide, since he had ample means when he left here, and was then, seemingly, in the best of health and spirits.
Cary's friends scout the idea of intentional suicide. They say the young man was perfectly happy the night before his death, and that he had no financial or other troubles. They believe his death was accidental.
While Mr. Cary never visited Baltimore, he was well and favorably known by a large circle of friends whom he met in New York frequently. He was also connected with some of the most prominent families in Balti- more City, among whom is Mrs. Brent Keyser and Mrs. Tunstall Smith, who are his second cousins, and Mr. Wilson Cary, who is a first cousin. His relatives are both shocked and surprised at the idea of his committing suicide, as he was a man of considerable means, youth and health, and had no apparent reason for the act.
Word was received by Mrs. Smith yesterday from relatives of Mr. Cary in New York, stating that Mr. Cary had died suddenly, but it did not mention suicide. His friends and relatives here are under the impression that some mistake must have been made, probably in transmitting the dispatch, as they can absolutely give no reason why Mr. Cary should take his own life.
