Judge rules homicide in death of book dealer BASTROP (AP) — A Bastrop County justice of the peace has ruled homicide in the gunshot death of Austin rare book dealer John Jen kins, but the sheriff remains con vinced Jenkins waded into the Colo rado River and shot himself in the back of the head. Judge Bill Henderson said the homicide ruling was based on his analysis of the path of the bullet that killed Jenkins and the fact that au thorities found no weapon. Jenkins, 49, was found in the river near Bastrop on April 16. His Rolex watch, hundreds of dollars in cash and his credit cards were missing, and his gold Mercedes Benz had been abandoned. Law officers who stand by the sui cide theory say Jenkins had dis cussed possible scenarios in which a person could kill himself and make it appear like murder. They also said Jenkins had nu merous debts and faced additional questioning about a 1987 arson that m LADIES & LORDS Guys! Need a Tuxedo for Ring Dance?

Henderson ruled homicide be cause, “I am not convinced that the path of the bullet could have been done by the man (Jenkins) ... I be lieve we are looking for a killer, and I am comfortable in that ruling.” Sheriff Con Keirsey said he has no doubt that Jenkins killed himself. “I don’t think he (Henderson) studied the facts,” Keirsey said. “The angle of the bullet is completely compatible with suicide. We know the trajectory of the bullet. It’s mea surable. It’s physics.” Keirsey told the Austin American- Statesman that an investigation had uncovered evidence of a man be sieged by debts, both from business and gambling at high-stakes tourna ments in Nevada, Louisiana and Cal ifornia. Court records indicated Jenkins had defaulted on a $600,000 loan and faced the possibility of having his book warehouse and office auc tioned at a public sale.
