neutrality-suspicious. Appeared Before
Jury as witnesses.
The death of George Ester of st.
Louis, known in local sporting circles
as George Feeley of Sioux City. Ia,
was due to an accident.
A coroner jury last night found that
the tragedy was unavoidable, and Jim
Jeffords of California, who delivered
the blow was relieved of all blame
The verdict was returned after the
testimony of DR.. J. D. Paige and DR..
J. A. Crowther had been heard.
During the afternoon an autopsy was
held and it was found that F'ee1ey's
brain was diseased. The case was an
unusual one. and the physicians found
that there had been no fracture. They
had contended from the first that the
blow had not fractured the skull, and
the autopsy brought this fact to light.
With this evidence before it the jury
returned a verdict relieving Jeffords
of all blame. without any hesitancy.
1t was shown that several days be-
fore the fight, while training, Feeley
received a severe blow on the jaw and
was forced to stop sparring. The au-
topsy brought to light the fact that
even then Fee1ey must have been suf-
fering from an affection of the brain.

After the memorial services the
graves of the federal soldiers in the

and at the head of each grave was
placed a miniature flag. The fifteen

flowers had been furnished. Singular

ped into the ring with Jeffords, but
those who witnessed the bout attrib-
uted the results to the fact that Feeley
didn't know anything about the game.
He performed like a novice.
Beaten by O'Brien.
In Philadelphia on May IA before the
Broadway Athletic Club, under the
name of Ester, the St Louis man went
three rounds with Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien, and was so badly beaten that
his manager had to throw up the
sponge. O'Brien landed on the wind
and jaw repeatedly and this one sided
contest may have had something to do
with his condition in the ring here.
In the same city Ester got the de-
cisien over Charlie Jennings, an I'M
known, in six rounds The fact that
Feeley and Ester were one and the
same was kept a secret until yester-
day. and the fact that OBrien, who
was booked to meet the winner of
Thursdays contest, had played all
around him was kept a profound Sc
cret.
Manager Lowry, who was looking
after Feeley's interest. was at a loss
to understand how death had been
produced until he had been informed
of what the physicians found when
they held an autopsy. Lowry stated
after the inquest last night that he had
only known Ester a month, and that
ii was the st. Louis mans own idea
to call himself Feeley of Sioux City.
Lowry says that Feeley was well
trained and had given him the names
of some clever men that he claimed he
had whipped. The st. Louis mans
manager, however, had no personal
knowledge of the fighters ability.
PnysiciaDs' Testimony
In giving his testimony DR.. Paige
said: Il was present at the glove con-
test on Thursday night. During the
course of the contest James JeffordS
struck George Feeley three blows on
the jaw, putting him out. 1t was call
ed TO attend him, and he showed only
symptoms of conclusion.
In about a half an hour he began
to show signs of paralysis of the right
arm and leg. He was removed to the
Turkish Bath and restoratives were ap-
piled. On the following morning he
was taken to st. Joseph's Hospital
where he died. Before he died the
symptoms of paralysis passed off"
