Died at the Receiving
Hospital.
AUTOPSY PERFORMED
Fall to the Ring Floor Was Not
Fatal.
Vital Organs of the Fighter Were
Diseased and He Shou1d Not
Have Entered the Contest.

DR.. J. L. Zabala autopsy physician,
made this statement last night:
"I found severe contusions on Fra
ney's face, shoulders and upper arms.
There was a hemorrhage Of the brain
on the left side, and the organ itself
was in an anaemic condition. The
man must have received terrible
punishment, and death was nothing
more than the result of the blows
which rained on his face and head.
The impact of the head on the floor
had nothing to do with it. He was
in a dying condition before he fell.
"Franey should never have en-
tered the ring. An examination OF
his lungs showed pleuratic adhe-
sions and his system was otherwise
broken down. He was fit for practi-
cal purposes in life, but certainly not
for unnatural exercise"
jim Franey the welter- weight pugiist,
who was laid low by Frank Mcconnell
in terrific tstiC battle before the Ma
tional Club at Woodward's Pavilion last
Wednesday night, expired yesterday af-
ternoon at the Receiving Hospital An
autopsy nelO last evening Oh lIt DpuS VI
the Unfortunate prize-fighter showed that
his vital organs were diseased, that he
was in no condition to enter any ring and
principally that he had been pummeled
and beaten to death by Mcconnell. ]. j.
Groom and J. y. Gibbs. the promoters of
the event, and Mcconnell We're charged
with manslaughter. but are now out on
bail.
From the time of the delivery of the
Knockout blow Franey did not regain
consciousness. On his cot in the Receiv-
ing Hospital he lay in lethargic forgetful-
ness, breathing stertorously and mani
cussion. Until DR.. Zabala performed the
autopsy there arose a grave question as
to whether the death-dealng blow was
the fierce right-hand swing on the vul
nerabe point of the chin or whether the
extinction of life was due to the impact
of the head with the floor of the ring The
physicians who attended Franey in his
last hours would not venture an opinion,
declaring that either the blow or the fall
might have produced the confusion which
resulted in death. But it was all settled
last night
DR.. Lustig. the physician of the National
Club SaId yesterday
"Franey received two severe cranial
shocks. either of which. may have been
the cause of his death. Symptoms of
confusion compression and concussion
were present soon after the fall in which
Franey struck his head. The Earring of
the brain by powerful blow often pro-
duces a concussion which proves fatal
There was a batch of pugilists locked
in the City Prison tanks yesterday and
visitors kept coming and going all day
long. Mcconnell, Tim McGrath, j. F.
