REMNANT WILL RECOVER,
YALE STUDENT INJURED IN 4
SCUFFLE ON ORANGE STREET,

Was Much Improved Last Evening and
1t Was Expected at Yale Infirmary
That He VIII be Out in a Few Days
His Condition Was Precarious and
Coroner Mix Took His Statement.
George Bremner Tenant, the Yale
student who was seriously injured in a
row Saturday night on Orange street,
near Adams Express Office, has a frac-
tUred skull, but late last evening it was
stated at the Yale infirmary that he
was much improved and was conscious
and that his recovery was fully ex-
pected. His condition was so serious
Monday that the coroner took his ante
. norton statement. At that time Ten
nant was not in clear condition of
mind. Coroner Mix has a statement,
however, which he evidently considers
to be sufficien to throw considerable
light on the matter. The coroner was
in consultation yesterday with a detec-
tive, and it was tine impression that
there would soon be all arrest.
1t was learned that Tenant received
his injuries as result of a brawl just
before midnight Saturday in Orange
street, near Center. 1t is stated that
he was assaulted by several men. His
roommate, Raymond H. Ashley, an as
sistant Instructor in chemistry in Shelf
field scientific school, was.with him and
took him TO his room, where he was
cared for and when found to be seri-
ously hurt, was taken to the infirmary
When he reached the infirmary he said
his injury was due to an accidental fall
on the ice. He afterwards said he was
injured in brawl.
Among the witnesses of the affair
were two Postal Telegraph messenger
boys, who state that they saw one of
the men knocked down, The boys are
Lawrence Richards of Is Franklin
street and Pasquale Anastachio of Is
Franklin street. The cause of the row
does not yet appear. One thing is evil
dent, however, and that it that it was a
brutal and cowardly assault Janitor
Hills Of the East Divinity hall says he
heard voice threatening to kill about
midnight, and it is evident from this
statement that Tenants assailant fol-
lowed him up to the campus. .|
Or. Nelson A. lLudington, who was
called to attend the injured man, dag
nosed the injury as a fractured skull,
and DR.. L. w. Bacon was taken into
consultation, and after conference it
was decided to notify the coroner.
Tenant is twenty-seven years old
and is the son of Richard Tenant, who
lives at 81 First avenue in Waterbury,
and who is a foreman for the Scovill
Manufacturing company. A sister of
the injured young man came to this
city Monday, when notified of the affair.
George Bremner Tenant graduated
from the academic department of Yale
in 1900. Three years later he got his
degree of M. A., and at present he is in
the post graduate school working for a
z Phi. d. degree. He is described as a
close student and has always borne an
excellent reputation. He has done some
f9acnTIfg. being last employed in that
capacity at Plainfield, N. j. In his
class book Tenant was known as
strenuous. He is a graduate of the
Waterbury high school and won the
Mclaughlin English prize at Yale.
Raymond Hartman Ashley, The room
mate of the injured man, declined to
say anything yesterday save that he
and his friend were innocent parties to
the fracas In which Tenant was so
badly done up. Ashley stated that he
had told the whole story to Dean Phil
lips Of the graduate school, and had
been advised by him not to say any
thing for publication at this time. He
would not state how the trouble start
4 ed, who was implicated or give any
& details at all. ~ ...
