DEATH TO
Be PROBED
Coroner Learns Man Asked
for Medical Treatment
at Police Station
FOUND DEAD In
CELLAR NEXT DAY

Coroner John T. Spring today be-
gan an investigation of the death of
David McAvaney who died in the
basement of the police station on
Tuesday night where he was sent af-
ter he had applied for medical aid,
claiming he was sick at the stom-
ach.
The manner of the death of Mo
Avaney was brought to the attention
of Coroner Spring by persons who
had rea4 OF the case in the news
papers and that official decided today
10 make an investigation. He said
he proposed to get all the facts in
connection with the case and also
learn who ordered or took the man
into the basement.
From what can be learned Nc
Ayaney applied at the police station
on Tuesday morning for medical
treatment. He was asked by Captain
Kane where he was III and replied
at the stomach Captain Kane noti-
fed Humane Agent Frank Stout a
member of the trustees lof the poor
for New Castle County, and the latter
gave permit to admit the sick man
10 the county hospital at Farnhurst.
That institution was called by tele-
phone but il was said the wagon was
engaged elsewhere and could not
come to Wilmington for the patient
until the following day. Captain
Kane it is said. then ordered the man
taken to the cellar. a place where
tramps make their abode during the
cold winter nights. No physician was
summoned, so far as can be learned.
McAvaney was allowed to remain
In the cellar all day Tuesday and
Tuesday night and on Wednesday
morning when Turnkey Keyser went
down stairs with food for the man he
found him dead. The coroner remov-
ed the body to the morgue. McAvaney
vas born in Wilmington and his
mother lives with another son at No
Slf Poplar street.
Coroner Spring said today he had
heard considerable talk about tho
case and proposed to learn il the
mans death was due to anybody's
negligence. He said that just be
cause a man looks rough is no rea
son why he should not be treated
properly. He said. however. that h'
had not yet interviewed the police or
duty at the police station when Nc
Avaney called there for medica
treatment and until he did he wal
not in position to discuss the case.

snow was pretty deep, for the
Flathead, it did not deter the
members from venturing out,
and the attendance was up to
standard. There is a good feed
each evening which may have
some thing to do with inducing
all to go, and the last meeting be-
ing a double header the chances
were good for an elaborate
spread and every expectation
was realized. Just what impor-
tant matters were discussed has
not leaked out as yet, the fe-
male sulfragists holding a secret
session while their husbands en-
joyed a game of whist. The
general opinion prevailed that
the lady members are planning a
walking trip to Helena to prop
erly influence the legislature
now in session. but there is a
chance this is not the case.
