mertden Man at the Hospital who
was Assaulted at SaVin Rock-Un-
conscious All Kesterday-His In.
1uries May Prove Fatal-PrObabIy
Another Murder.
A man thirty-five years of age named
Healy, who is brother of Timothy Healy,
the mason builder of Meriden, was discover
ed yesterday morning at Savin Rock lying ap-
parently dead by the roadside. He was I'M
conscious and had several bad bruises about
his head and body. He was taken to the
hospital. Mrs. DIR. Thompson, who is at
tached to the New York hospital and who is
summering at the shore, dressed his dfounds
and followed him to the hospital in her car
rage. At the hospital Healy's case was
found to be very serious. He remained I'M
conscious throughout the day. During the
forenoon it was thought by the hospital au-
thorities that Healy would not survive the
day, but at about $3.50 o'clock he showed
signs of returning consciousness. By 4
o'clock he became somewhat rational Last
night he was resting comfortably and the
hospital doctors think the chances are about
equal for his death or recovery. He suffer
ed a conclusion of the brain and the wounds
on the head and body were evidently made
by another person or persons by club or
some blunt instrument. 1t was at first ru-
mored that Healy had been on drunk and
had fallen from the rocks and thus received
his injuries. But it is probable that he was
in free fight which occurred at the Rock
after the Grand Army picnic. The brother
of the dying man is prominent citizen in
Meriden The West Haven authorities are
looking up the case, which may result in
murder

which Shows That I'm The Case OF
willard Pierce The Bullet I'm The
Heart Killed Him-The Others Were
Scalp Wounds.
Medical Examiner White yesterday made
an autopsy of the remains of Willard Pierce,
the man who was found dead in catboat
on Thursday, and found that without a
doubt it was case of suicide. The doctor
first examined the course of the bullet which
was fred in the vicinity of the heart. He
discovered that the ball penetrated between
the eighth and ninth ribs, passed through
the left lung and then right through the left
ventricle of the heart. 1t then took down
ward course, passed the back bone and
lodged under the skin about eight inches be-
low the point at which it was fred and on
the back of the body. This ball must have
caused instant death, and the course it took
conclusively proves that it was the last
shot fired and necessarily the fatal one.
DR.. White extracted the bullet and found
it was of precisely the same make as those in
the cartridges found in the unemptied bar
rels of the revolver. Upon examining the
head the doctor found that none of the
wounds inflicted by the three bullets were
sufficient to cause death. They were nothing
IDENTIFY fred with very poor aim, for they
went in at the side of the head and came out
at the back. The courses of two of them
were described on the scalp and the other
one made very slight indention on the
skull. None of the bullets remained in the
head.
Mrs. Pierce viewed the remains at the
morgue yesterday and was very much af-
fected by the sight The body will probably
be buried by the town, as Mrs Pierce is said
to be very poor.
Mr.. Charles Clark, the joiner on Water
street, speaking of Pierce last evening said:
Pierce formerly worked for me and came to
the shop three or four weeks ago, but was in
no condition to work and told him he had
better go home. He was down-spirited and
had been drinking. He said he would go
home. He stayed away two or three weeks
and then came back and told me he was 60
ing to Springfield to work and asked me if
I would forward his tools to Spring
field. 1 said 1 would accommodate him. 1
advised him to swear off drinking He said he
ought to and would. I did not discharge him,
nor did discharge the other men because of
a difference about the rate of wages, as stated
in an afternoon paper. let the men spoken
of go simply because there was not work
enough for them and no other reason.''
