NATURAL CAUSES.
DIR. Whites Opinion on the Death of
Arthur Graham.


Arthur Graham.
DIR. G. A. White, County Physician,
yesterday held an autopsy on the body of
Arthur Graham, and found that he came
to his death from natural causes, which is
somewhat of surprise to those who saw
Graham when he was taken to the Re-
ceiving Hospital.
In the absence of proof to the contrary,
it is still asserted that his injuries were
received by fall, and the autopsy shows
they were not sufficient to have caused
death. They may, however, have
fastened it. Following is the certificate
of the examining physician:
Geo. II. Clark, Coroner: This is to certify
body OF Arthur Graham, deceased. A CON
fused wound was found upon the nose which
discolored IL and the left eye. A slightly blue
spot was found on the left side at the lower
POI t, and would not be conducive of death.
The body was much emaciated, due to long
continued disease of the internal organs. The
kidneys and liver were both disea sed, and tie
stomach lining congested. The heart was ell
larged and the lungs adherent at Sc Veral points
TO the walls of the chest.
Death resulted from natural causes, the i'm
mediate cause Of death being due to chronic
disease OF the Kidneys nephrites).
G. a. WHITE, NJ. d.
Jack Williams, Dan Sullivan, Con
Sheehan and - McGear, the men ar
rested on suspicion OF knowing some
thing about Graham's case, were dis
charged from custody on the results of the
autopsy being known.
Deceased will be buried at l o'clock this
afternoon from the residence of his
mother, at 5ll Tenth street

ADMITTED TO BAIL.
Thomas CaIIinan Held on Charge of
Manslaughter.
The Unfortunate Quarrel Which Re-
suited in the Death of John
Lynch Last Month.

The examination of Thomas Callinan,
charged with the killing of John Lynch.
came up before Judge Cravens in the Po-
lice Court yesterday. About the same
evidence was produced that was given at
the Coroner's inquest and published in
the RECoRD-UNIoN at that time.
Thomas E. Lynch, son of the deceased,
testified that he saw his father when he
was taken home in an unconscious con-
dition, cut and bleeding from wounds
about the head.
George W. Snber, who was with Lynch
and Callinan at the time the trouble oc-
CURED, testified that his wagon had just
dumped load of dirt-and Lynch and
Callinan were engaged in spreading the
same on the street They got into dis
pute. all of which witness did not hear,
but finally Lynch called Callinan -
lazy --, and the latter turned and
struck him with his shovel, knocking
him down.
Callinan then helped Suber carry
Lynch to II. w. Rivett's stable. Lynch
did not speak after the blow was received,
except to say, Il am an old man, II years
oId''
Thomas Bresnehan, who was passing at
the time of the trouble, saw Callinan
strike Lynch and testified substantially
to the same facts.
DIR. c. b. Nichols described the wounds
and gave his opinion that but one blow
was struck.
Charles Il. Jones, counsel for the de-
tense, rigldly croSs-examined the various
witnesses, without eliciting any new facts
In the case of material consequence.
The evidence showed that the blow was
struck in passion and without premedita-
ton, and doubtless without intent to in
1lict fatal wound.
Judge Cravens, in giving his decision,
said the evidence showed no deliberation,
and that the blow struck was the result OF
a sudden impulse. He thought the de-
fendant guilty of manslaughter, and
committed him for trial in the Superior
Court, with bail fixed at $1,000.
Yesterday evening Callinan secured
bondsmen in H. +. Dillman, a. j. Senate
and Andrew Carlaw, and was released
from the City Jail.
