Mr.. w. II. Savory was found dead In
his room yesterday morning at his board
ing-house, No. s0i Perry street. The
Coroner viewed the body, but deemed an
inquest unnecessary, as II waa apparent
that death resulted from natural causes.
He was IS years old.
Mr.. Savory had been a sufferer for a
long time With consumption. which was
the cause OF his death. For several
months his friends have been aware of
the fact that death was near at hand,
but they had no idea when they left
him Tuesday night that the end was at
hand and that they would never see
him again alive.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Gary, with
whom Mr.. Savory boarded. as was her
custom. sent her little girl to awaken
the invalid. Not receiving any response
from the call. the child reported the fact
TO her mother. and several inmates OF
the house fastened TO the room. Upon
entering the awful discovery was made
that the man was dead. He was lying
upon the floor. and the supposition is
that he got up during the night In q
spell OF coughing and was strangled TO
death. III he made any outcry or call
for assistance no one heard him.
