I've got an unsolved mystery and if their are any Galveston old-timers out there and you have input on what really happened, I'd like to hear from you. Rodney J. (Bummy) Harris, 37, engineer for the G.H.&H. Railroad, died at John Sealy Hospital at 11:45 o'clock on the morning of September 3, 1938, a short time after his wife found himin his room at 2402 43d, with a gunshot wound through the lower part of his chest and a .38-caliber revolver lying nearby according to Chief of Dectectives Dave Henry. Justice of the Peace R.M. Kupsa conducted an inquest September 3. A verdict would be returned, he said. On his death certificate where it said accident, homicide, or suicide, it was left undetermined. The majority of the family thought it was murder, but a few, a very few thought it was suicide. Nobody in the house ever heard the gun go off, just Rodney pounding on the wooden floor, trying to get someone's attention. There was even talk by those who thought it was murder that it could have been the man next door. I thought it kind of odd, that someone who was attempting suicide would shoot himself in the stomach, push the gun aside and then try to get the attention and help of others in the house. Any input?
