Culdesac - Albert Lee Robinett, Mission Creek logger, was found dead, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, at his home about 7:30 a.m. Monday.

The body was discovered by two neighbors, Wilson Bundy and F. M. McKenzie, who found him lying on a bed with a .22 caliber automatic rifle between his legs, according to Deputy Sheriff Earl Wormell.

A bullet had been fired through his mouth into his brain, Wormell said.

Nez Perce County Coroner Kermit Malcom set the time of death at about 12:30 a.m. Monday.

He was born at Winchester April 13, 1901, and was employed by Potlatch Forest Inc., as a "cat skinner." He married Evelyn Brown at Lewiston in July, 1924.
