BROTHERS USE SAME GUN TO DIE TOGETHER

Battle.

Four days after leaving hospital, where each had been treated for a nervous breakdown, two brothers, Henry Laurence (34) and Maurice (31), clerks on London Stock Exchange, were found shot dead on a farm at Ninfeld, near here, recently with a farewell note and a will between them.

They had been dead nearly 24 hours.

Nearby were two double-barrelled shotguns. Only one had been used, but the police are satisfied that each man shot himself. It is thought that Maurice shot himself first in the chest, using one barrel. He used a specially shaped piece of wood to pull the trigger.
