Already the driver has succeeded in

the stoker, who is kept busy half the

As they dash along, Jack, who
chances to be on that side nearest the
Spanish officer, opens conversation
with him.

BISCUIT
CAUSED
A DEATH

Two friends argued over the possession
Of a biscuit while at the supper table OF
the Franklin House. and at about I
o'clock they came to blows in field.
Michael l. Connors. an East Boston
boilermaker. is dead as a result and his
friend and foreman, Bernard Mcdonald,
is held by the Franklin police to await
the result of an official inquiry into Con-
nors' death. which occurred directly after
Mcdonald had struck him on the head
with his fist.
Today an autopsy will determine
whether the blow caused death, whether
the mans neck was broken when he fell
after being struck, or whether he died Of
heart disease. to which he was subject.
Mcdonald Is very sorry over the death
of his friend Regarding his own con-
nection with Connors' sudden end he said
that he. with four other men from the f.

without further interruption.
After supper Connors invited Melon

so. without any expectation that there
