Coroner Hanly and jury containing nine
physicians held an inquest yesterday in the

food for forty-one days In an effort to surpass
Succis fast.
Deputy Coroner Donlin. who made tho au-
topsy on the faster's body. said that while
death was directly due to alcoholism alcohol
would not have produced such an effect had
no been properly nourished. A secondary
cause was fatty degeneration Of the heart.
