little dog was especially pleasing, doing
his work without a word being spoken

the big hit and he richly deserved all
the applause he got He is hy far the

WAS NOT MURDER
SAYS THE CORONER
Who Investigated Death of Football
Player In Game at Wheeling Last
Saturday.

Wheeling, W. Va, Nov l5. The in
quest held BY Coroner w. w. Rogers
last night into the cause of the death Of
Captain Rudolph Munk of the West
Virginia university eleven during the
game here Saturday with the Bethany
college team, resulted in a verdict by
the Jury, that Munk came to his death
accidentally. The warrant for the ar
rest Of Thomas Mccoy of Canton, Ohio,
the Bethany player, charged with eaus.
ing the injuries that caused death, will
be withdrawn at the instance OF the
coroner. The wording OF the verdict
was as follows;
"Fhat the evidence in this case is con-
nictng, therefore, we believe that Ru-
doiph Munk came to his death, November
y, 1910, by colliding with Thomas Nc
Coy in game Of football played in
Ohio county, state of West Virginia. !"
"That means accidental death" said
Coroner Rogers, and ends any proseeu
tion of Mccoy"
The most important testimony came
in Il letter from Homer Young, the UNI
pire On Sunday he had given testimony
tending to show that Mccoy had in
tentionally struck down Munk, and it
was on the strength of this that the
warrant for murder followed. In his
letter, placed before the coroner's jury
last night, 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
so!ute positiyeness 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
The doctors who examined Munk be-
fore and after DEATH testified that there
was an injury at the back of the head,
where blood elot had formed also that
there were evidences of a former blood
clot from an old injury Death was
due to the injury received in last Satur-
davis game.
r. II. Rudy of Millersburg, Ohio, left
halfback of the Bethany team said Me-
Coy struck Munk with his forearms
crossed and not with his clenched fist.
He was struck in the breast and the
wound in the acx of the head must have
Leen inflicted when Afunk fell. Mccoy
staggered and fell across Munk.
Robert L. Ramsey prosecuting attor-
ney of Brooke cunty, w. Va, a spectat-
or at the game, testified to hearing
Mccoy say; They have been Singing
me all through this game, but | got him
(Munkl that time" This remark Of
MeCoy's was received with Kisses from
spectators who heard it.
A. L. Mcfarland, former football
player, now deputy sheriff Of Belmont
county, Ohio, also spectator, thought
the blow had been struck intentional
", but he was not positive.
