NO INQUEST FOR
LEM BONE, SAYS
CORONER
Donehoo Satisfied With Doctors
Statement, Bookmaker's Death
Did Not Result From Fight.

Coroner Donehoo said Wednesday
that there would be no inquest over
the death OF Lem Bone, the pie
turesque sporting man who died Tues
day. The Coroner said the statement
OF DIR. Walpole Brewer that Bone
came to his death from pleurisy, and
that the pleurisy could not have been
caused from a blow, satisfied him
that Bones death was due to natural
causes.
Investigations by Coroner Doneh 80
and city detectives have revealed that
Bone did have a fist fight eleven days
before his death. one OF his eyes
was discolored from a bruise from
that encounter and there was a slight
cut on his lip, but no signs Of any
other injury.
An account Of this fight by Mrs
Bones at her home, No. AZ Fairlie
street, shows that Bone kept mis-
courage until his death. In his young
er days he was a terror to the police
and his notoriety spread over the
South.
Tells of Fight.
Lem had been drinking" she said.
Il went to the Forsyth Theater with
a friend He kissed me good bye
and shook hands with my escort
when we returned Lem opened the
door and held a pistol in his haud.
My escort retired. | went to the cor
ner of Forsyth and James streets to
get a policeman to go into the house
with me
u met a friend Of ours and he went
with me, but when we reached home
we found Lem in the yard very angry.
A fight with fists followed. but 1t was
over in a Jiffy and everybody made
friends"
Always Kept His Word.
Acquaintance OF Bone say that in
the ups and downs of his career one
element of his character was con-
slant. He always stood by his worl
Sometimes his pockets would bulge
with cash Then he would be pen
niless.
When down and OUT there were
several we'll known business men 20
whom he could go and obtain loans
without any security. And, II is sa.
he never failed to repay them as he
promised.
In recent years he devoted pra =
tically all Of his efforts to bookmaking
on horse races. 1t was understood
among the sporting fraternity that a
bet won from him was sure to be paid
His death marks the departure ~
one Of the last Of an odd group Of
men who thrived in the days before
political reforms

the animal house, and then came Old
Man Pete's turn. The old alligator
reared on the bank, his wrath sput-
tering from him in venomous spurts
OF steam his jaws extending and his
throat looking like an autumn sunset
Boyd got a stout rope and advanced
upon the big reptile, and Pete got 1t
around the neck.

him out of the ring. and did ii. Pete

overtake his enemy.
Alligator Loses Teeth.
A little platform on wheels was
waiting a the gate to haul Pete in
gloriOuslY away to his winter home.
Boyd tried 20 drag Pete up on the
platform and Pete seized the iron
bed of the platform in his jaws. He
tried to turn Over and wrench the
platform oHf-the alligator's method
of fighting being to grab a thing and
then. by twisting his back, wrench
it off-but all he did was to lose a
bunch of teeth.
He snapped at everything and
everybody; he got a broomstick in his
jaws and made 1t look like a willow
plume, and he even went so far as
to bite a small piece of iron out of the
wagon-at a cost of several more
teeth.
Pete finally was harnessed with
some more ropes, and hauled onto
the platform. He was all cluttered
up with his bonds. and as an added
precaution they slipped rope be-
tween his jaws and pried them open.
But they forgot his tailor at lea st
one negro did. The son of Ham
grabbed the broomstick, and stood
carelessly and proudly beside the all
ligator
Then Pete awoke to his opportun-
ity. There was swish as the power
full tail swung around-and Ethiopia
fell. Pete went Wild, but was sub
dued with more ropes, and then he
was hauled away to his new home.
The alligators will be kept in Sc
clusion in the animal house until next
spring, when they will be put back
in the pool. The turtles will remain
in the pool all winter, as cold weather
does not injure them
