    San Diego, Calif., August 13

    An inquest is scheduled in San Diego into the death of Herman Everett
Shipley, a former resident of Tipton, Iowa, where his wife and two children
reside. Shipley was a chauffeur for Jackie Coogan, child film star. He had
recently been discharged from his position by Mr. Coogan. Shipley's body was
found in a garage at the Coogan ranch near Campoya. Los Angeles detectives who
found the body said Shipley had ended his own life by shooting himself through
the head. Shipley left a suicide note that asked his parents in Tipton be
notified and his body be taken to Tipton for burial.

    Shipley was sought in connection with the shooting of Joseph Block, a
watchman at the Coogan home in Los Angeles last Tuesday. Block, who was
seriously wounded in an exchange of shots with Shipley, has a chance of recovery
physicians say.
