MUNK'S DEATH ACCIDENT
Warrant for the Arrest OF Ohio
Football Player Withdrawn.
VERDICT OF C0R0NER'S JURY
Testimony Given at Inquest Con
flicting, but Bethany Player
Is Not Held Responsible.

Wheeling. w. Va, Nov. 14.-The IN
quest held by Corone-- w. W. Rogers to-
night into the cause of the death of Cap
tain Rudolph Munk, Of the west Vlr-
ginia University eleven, during the game
here on Saturday with the Bethany Col
lege team resulted in a verdict by the
i,1ry that Munk came to his death acci-
dentallv. The warrant for the arrest OF
Thomas Mccoy, of Canton, Ohio, the
Bethany player charged with causing
the injuries that caused death. VIII be
withdrawn at the instance Of the Coro-
ner.
Mccoy was not present at the inquest,
nor was his father, but they were repre-
sented by attorneys from Canton. The
wording of the verdict was as follows:
That the evidence In this case is con-
hicting; therefore we believe that Ru-
dolph Munk came to his death November
u, 1910, by collfding with Thomas Nc
Gov in a game of football played In Ohio
County, State of West Virginia"
That means accidental death" said
Coroner Rogers, and ends any prosecu-
ton Of Mccoy"
The most important testimony came
before the jury in a special delivery let
ter to the coroner from Homer Young,
the ex-Michigan player, who was UNI
pire. On Sunday he had given testimony
tending to show that Mccoy had fnten-
tionally struck down Munk, and it was
on the strength of his version of the
affair that the warrant for murder was
issued. In his letter. placed before the
coroner's jury tonight Young says:
Il cannot state with absolute positive
ness that Mccoy struck Munk. although
it appeared to me that he struck at him
about the head. | cannot state with alb
solute positiveness that the act was done
Intentionally, although there may have
been circumstances from which it may
be inferred that there was intention and
deliberation to strike
Three doctors who examined Munk
before and after death testified that
there was an injury at the back of the
head, where a blood cIot had formed;
also that there We're evidences Of for
mer blood clot from an old injury. Death
was due to the injury received in last
Saturdays game, they stated.
P. H. Rudy, of Millersburg, Ohio, left
halfback of the Bethany. eleven said
Mccoy struck Munk with his forearms
crossed, and not with his clenched fist.
as had been alleged. He was struck i'll
the breast, not in the back, and the
wound in the back of the head must
have been inflicted when Munk fell.
Mccoy staggered and fell across the
West Virginia University player.
Bethany. w. Va, Nov. 14.-There will
