THE FACT ABOUT
WATS0N'S DEATH

Facts have come to light today
which show that the death of Harry
S. Watson ought to be investigated.
That no inquest has been held is a
matter of very general comment. The
lad is reported to have died as the
result of a solar pleXus blow deliver
ed by playmate named Mitchell.
According to Or, Webb, who was call
ed in, peritonitis was the cause of
death; DIR, Luhn thought it was ty-
phoid fever. and DR., Richter believed
death resulted from the blow.
Coroner u. L. Smith decided no in
quest was necessary. The difference
of medical men in this particular is
surprising.
The coroner based his conclusion on
the fact that the boy was injured in
friendly play and that no malice en-
tered into the affair at all. Therefore
he believed that anything of crimi-
nal nature could not be shown.
Developments today would indicate
that there was considerable malice
and that young Watson was attacked
by not only the one Mitchell, but two
brothers attacked him after he had
been knocked down by blow in the
stomach and had got to his feet ant
fought again.
1t is one of the saddest cases OF
record In this city, The victim is IN,

efforts against the boss plumbers of the

by them and the strike thus far has
