SEEF TO TIE POLICE

In0 uehtn OF martin y. flynn, the young
waiter who died at his home SO st. Marks
place, week ago last Sunday from the effects
OF an umbrella thrust In lllcted on Oct %, has
caused two well-known and reputable citizens
q great deal OF anxiety for several days. Ono
OF them trotted around town for two hours yes
terday, with HE counsel and o bondsman near
at hand in the hope that somebody would ar
rest him for having inflicted the fatal injury
on Flynn, while the other and probably real
assailnnt was already In the hands OF the po-
lice. having surrendered himself.
Flynn was "a years Of age. About II y o'clock
on the night OF Oct. 28 he was arrested by
Policeman Mcmahon on Broadway, near
Thirty-flfth street and charged at the Thir-
tieth street police station with intoxication.
Tho charge was straight enough, for Flynn
was found lying ON the sidewalk. At the sta
tion house he was ablo to give his name and
address. He then said that one Of party Of
three men. all OF whom were strangers to him,
had picked q quarrel with him on Broad
way and had stabbed him in the eye with
an umbrella. There was slight wound
near Flynn's left eye. but 1t did not bleed much,
and It appeared like very small matter. He
was locked up In a cell all night, but in the
morning was too weak to walk. He was taken
to the New York hospital by DR.. Coley in an
ambulance, and this entry was made;
Martin Flynn; acute alcoholism and lacsrated and
confused wound Of the face; prisoner.
Flynn was kept In the hospital twenty-four
hours and attended by DR.. Culbert Then he
was transferred to Bellevue Hospital. where he
remained hve days, whom he was discharged.
Flynn went home and worried along until he
died. He had recovered from an attack of
pneumonia only short time before the street
affray, and his brother and sisters. with whom
he lived. were certain that his death was due
to this disease. DR.. Henry NJ. Silver, who had
been attending him; thought differently. and
