MARsHALLTOWN, IOWA - Coroner
Lierle is holding an inquest over the re-
mains Of a journeyman tailor named Fas-
sett. whose death Wednesday night has
excited some suspicion that he was foully
dealt with. Fassett had been drinking

came noisy and one of the assistants at
the cafe requested" the; men TO get out
They refused to go and became abusive
Then a Mr.. Strub attempted to lead the
men out. Fassett grappled with Strub and
tore his jacket. St,'ub it appears hit him
on the jaw, but not a hard blow, and Fas-
sett stumbled upon the iron threshold and
fell to the sidewalk Thursday morning
he died In the meantime Fassett's COM
pa Mon skipped. Bystanders who saw the
trouble state that after Strub struck Fas-
sett someone in the crowd gave him
push as he was going out Of the door
and that this undoubtedly caused his
death. Fassett came to Marshalltown
from Omaha a week ago and his com-
panion, whose name was Hansen, came
