Charge That Tenny Was"DOped''
Is Seriously Made.
Thought by Mother of Fighter
That This Was the Case.
THE CORONER SAYS NOT
Announces That a Blow From
Neil Was Responsible.
Captain of Police Duke Holds
the Referee to Blame.

San Francisco, March 2.-Fonowing
the news Of Harry Tenny's death orders
were at once given at police headquar-
ters to arrest all concerned. Neil soon
surrendered himself, as also did James
Coffroth Eddie Graney, Willis Britt,
Morris Levy and Mark Shaughnessey.
All were charged with manslaughter
and promptly made arrangements COR
release on bail.
After making an autopsy. Coroner's
Surgeon Cusack announced that Tell
ny's death was due to cerebral helncr-
image, caused probably by a blow. It
has been discovered that strychnine and
possibly other drugs were given Tenuy
during the night, so the stomach was
removed and sent to the city chemist,
who will analyze the contents.
The mother of the dead boy, Mrs
Tennebaun, this being his real name,
asserts that he was poisoned. A brotn-
er, James Tennebaum, charges that the
little fighter was "doped" before ne en-
tered the ring. This sensational charge
is denied by Neil and others connected
with the tragedy.
Mark Shaughnessey, one of his sec
onds, says that he fell in a fit after leaY-
ing the ring.
The accused men connected with the
fatal fight were released from custody
on depositing $500 cash bail each
1T is ridiculous to say that Tenny
was poisoned" declared Shaughnessy.
I was with him all the time and ne
had no chance to get anything that was
not regular. I think Tenny probably
died of epilepsy. I know a few nights
ago he had fit and last night he had
another one. intended to ask some or
the family If he was subject to such at
tacks. I never heard that he was until
some one told me of the attack He
certainly acted as if he was in a nj
and I believe that he died in one"
Neil declares that the charge IS ab-
surd. because a man would have been
unable to fight as hard as Tenny If he
had been given a drug. Attorney For
ter Ashe, who appears for the hghterss
thinks it probable that the use OF
str~vchnine had as much to do in hasten
ing death as anything else. The BODY
shows a badly battered eye and a slight
abrasion over the heart.
Mayor Schmidt says he VIII 1nVest!-
gate the death of Tenny and If negn-
gence concerning the condition OF the
Dugilist is shown, he viii recommend
to the supervisors that no more perIhles
be issued for prize fights.
CAPTAIN of Police Duke, who witness
ed the fight. bIanes the referee for per
hitting It 10 continue after It was evil
dent that Tenny was helpless.
Chief of Police Oman declared Inat
the promoters of the fight had comphed
with the city ordinances in every partlc-
Mar and that the physicians certincates
had been given to the authorities as TO
+he ability of the two contestants TO en-
gage in a ring battle.
