Ir. Signor. who was about lfty-nve
years of age. lived alone In the Signor
homestesdvst the corner of‘hisin and
Chestnut streets. The house is one of
Bethnl's landmarks. ,
it was shortly after 2 o'clock this
morning when the loud report of a
heavy explosion awoke the people in
the neighborhood of the Signor home
stead. which Is in the heart of the bor-
ougii.
Those first to reach the place found
the doors securely listened. and.
knowing that Mr. Signor occupied the
. house alone. they made an attempt to
gettohisrooui. Thedoorhudtobe
forced open. as the llamas were spread-

Those iiriit toBrcach his bedroom on
the first floor witnessed s terrible
sight. in bed. with his head resting
on the pillows. lay hir. Signor with a
bullet wound in his right temple. Near
one hand. resting on the covering of
the bed. was a revolver. and thus was
a strong smell of powder about the
place.
Just what caused the explosion in a
mystery that no one can explain.
While the indications are that Mr. Sig.
nor took his own life. of course there
is no direct proof of It. The house bc-
Ing locked up. and other things In con-
nection with the case, seem to make
that the only solution of the shooting.
