Obituary From The Galveston Daily News, Galveston, TX, Wed, Nov. 12, 1952
DONALD BASIL SHIFFLETTE
Wound Fatal To Houstonian
Body Found Here With Rifle at Side
The body of a Houston man was found with a bullet hole through the temp]e about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Gulf Towers Hotel, 2102 avenue P. He was Donald Basel Shifflette, 31, of 3203 Revere in Houston, who had registered at the hotel just a week previous. It was estimated be had been dead about an hour when the maid discovered the body about 4:30 p. m. as she went to make up the room. The rifle was laying on two pillows at arms length at his right side. The bullet penetrated the right temple and came out. No one heard the report of the rifle when it was fired. C. K. Swearingen, manager of the hotel, said Shifflette had been in Galveston before. He told Swearingen that he was subject to epilepsy seizures, was taking treatment at the State Psychopathic hospital in Galveston and was also looking for a job. When the maid went to make up his room in the morning he asked her to come back later in the day, she told Chief of Detectives William J. Burns who investigated. She said she had never noticed a rifle about the room before. Chief Burns said he learned the rifle had been purchased by Shifflette Monday morning from a local sporting goods store. When found, the price tag was still on the gun. A new box of shells, with only one missing, was found on the dresser. Justice of the Peace Orra M. Richmond who was called to give a verdict on the death, referred the case to Dr. Norman D. Schofield, pathologist at St. Maryฎs infirmary for an autopsy. The body was removed to J. Levy & Bro. Funeral Home and will be shipped overland to Gladewater Wednesday for burial. In his possessions were found several applications for employment furnished by the Texas State Employment Bureau. Detectives John Kiser and D. Phipps assisted in the investigation. A doctor at the psychopathic hospital said Shifflette had an appointment for Monday which he failed to keep. Survivors include his father, J. H. Shifflette, of Kilgore and a brother Gregory Shifflette, of Houston. Mr. Shifflette served in World War II, holding the rank of captain.
