Marshall, 70, retired Navy Yard worker, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a .38 caliber pistol last night at 7:40 o'clock in a garage at the rear of his home at 733 West Thirty-fifth Street. Members of the family told Detective P.W. Adams, who investigated, that Mr. Marshall had seemed worried in recent months and that he had been depressed by the intense heat of the past few days. Mr. Marshall was taken to the Memorial Hospital by a neighbor immediately after the shooting, but was pronounced dead at 8:10 p.m. by a physician at the hospital. The body was removed to the funeral home of E. Lee Cox & Brother, 631 Westover Avenue. Mr. Marshall was the son of the late Capt. A.N. Marshall and had been a resident of Norfolk for 20 years. In addition to his wife, Mrs. Mattie B. Marshall, he is survived by one daughter, Miss Lelia J. Marshall; three sons, Albert N. Marshall, Jr. and Richard M. Marshall, of Norfolk and W.N.
