Young Mans Death Was
Due to Natural Causes.
CORONER ACTS STRANGELY.
Jackson Says Young Woman
Who Accompanied Manson Is
Bessie Hargraves, but Is
Mixed as to Her Address.

The autopsy to determine the cause OF
the death OF James S. Manson. the
young man who died so suddenly In the
Park Circle Hotel, at One Hundred and
Tent hstreet and Fifth avenue. last
night. shows that he was killed by a
rupture of a blood vessel In the brain.
Coroner Jackson announced after the
autopsy that no attempt will be made to
arrest the young woman who was with
Manson when he died. She is said, to be
Bessie Hargrave, Of No. 2N West
Bighty-third street. but the Coroner is
| not sure about the name and says 1t is
immaterial. as Manson died from nat
ural causes.
|. 1t was supposed that Manson had died
of heart disease, as ailments Of tn
heart have carried off members of his
family. There were other circumstances,
however, pointing to possible foul play
that gre cleared up by the autopsy.
A Promising Business Man.
Manson was a salesman for the cotton
commission house of Minot, Hooper g.
Co., at No. 40 Thomas street. He had
been in the FIRMS employ for four years
and on Christmas Day. as a reward for
his faithfulness and efficiency, he was
granted a $500 raise in salary. His
father is D.. L. Manson. of the cotton
commission firm OF RED Butterfield &
Co.. of Broadway and Waverley place.
After Samuel d. Tillis, a tailor at No.
SCI Broadway, had identified Manson
from his ovcrcoat mark. an Evening
World reporter saw the elder Manson
at Butterfield's commission house.
For Gods sake tell me is my son
Jim dead?" he exclaimed when the repor-
ter addressed him. 81 read of the young
mans death in the hotel as l came
downtown. Jim a not been home all
night and like a flash 1t came to me
thai he was the one"
Mr.. Manson's agitation had attracted
Mr.. Butterfield and he led him to the
rear Of the store and told him that his
boy was dead. The father broke down
and wept. He left at once for the un-
dertaking establishment where his sons
body lay.
Mr.. Butterfeld said after he left that
both father n son had been affected
with heart trouble. He inferred that
young Manson's death was due 10 tina

While Mr.. Manson vas weeping over
his sons body In the undertaking rooms
of James Finan. at No. HOS Park ave-
nue.. Coroner Jackson entered. The
father told him that his son was not
a drinking man, had never been sick a
day and was robust and athletic. He
could not have died OF heart failure"
said Mr.. Manson.
well, I'll hold an autopsy TO prove
that he did," interrupted the Coroner
brusquely. And I'll show you that
your son was not healthy. His stomach
was disordered by drinking. His heart
was impaired. l wanted no better evil

bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very severe
diarrhoea which 1t seemed almost i'm

Dig dose was given him while he was
rolling about on the ground In great
gaony, and in a few minutes the dose
was repeated. The good effect of the
medicine was soon noticed and within
an hour the patient was taking his
first sound sleep for a fortnight. That
one little bottle worked a complete
