Dies Of Injury y

BEGIN INVESTIGATION

Admitted to the Delaware Hospital
in an unconscious condition on We'd
nesday night. Ambrose Wright, color
ed, died at 73O o'clock last evening IN
that institution. An autopsy held AZ
the hospital today. by Coroner's Physi-
clan Briggs, showed that the man
had died of a fractured skull.
Much mystery surrounds the case
and Coroner John I. Spring will start
an investigation this afternoon II
seems that the man was found un-
conscious on Wednesday night in d
room at No 209 Tatnall street, where
he lived. and the Phoenix ambulance
was summoned No doctor had seen
the man and the ambulance crew re-
fused to take him until one did DR.
owen G. Spear was summoned, and
upon seeing the condition of Wright
directed that he be taken to the hos
pital. Wright never recovered con-
sciousness.
According to Eva Jefferson. coll
ored. who lives at the same address
Wright was injured on the head about
month ago by falling over a railing
from the second floor of the house, to
the yard beneath. He received treat
ment at the Delaware Hospital at the
time and was told to return. He did
not, however. In the meantime the
wound had healed but two weeks
ago, according TO the Jefferson wo-
man. Wright while drunk and dis
orderly was beat on the head by a
policeman.
There is no report OF the arrest OF
Wright or any trouble in this con
nection on record at the police sta
/ tion.
There also is a story current that
Wright figured in a contention at the
house in Tatnall street and was as.
saulted, but this is vigorously denied

WOULD HAVE TRUCK
UNLOAD AT PENNSGROVE

Plans are under way by the VIII

pany to have the truck boats from
South Jersey and Delaware stop at
Pennsgrove instead of going C. phila-
delphia and thus have their produce
brought to this city. where II could be
disposed OF In the local markets. BY
this method there would be saving
OF at least 50 miles.
Among the river craft that carry
truck TO Philadelphia. and which are
desired to stop at Pennsgrove are the
steamboats, Frederick, OF Frederica; I;
Greensboro. Of Milford. and Frankie,
OF smyrna, which now travel to Phila-

will meet with the approval Of the
owners of the boats, as II would mean
a delivery Of their goods much sooner,
IN fact half day would be saved.
