Coroner Probes Written Conn.,
plants Filed With Mayor BY
NeighbOrS in Connection
With Dan MediC'S Death.

Complaints from neighbors insist

nection with the death-presumabl bly,
from heat pTostration-of Dan Medic
Monday, have led police officials and
Coroner SwaI TO begin an investl-
cation OF the eharges. which involve
Patrolman irtd. c. Medick as being
connected With the death Of the young
man from Minnesota
No charge has yet been lodged
against Madiok. the seriousness of the
offense charged causing the police to
be reluctant to hasten affairs until
after further evidence Is in.
Written complaints from neighbors
to the police department and TO Mayor

loud talk and argument in the home
of Madick when Medic applied there
for board. A postmortem was held

ling on the person OF Medic. No
evidence strong enough TO warrant
the filing of a charge were found.
however. according to Coroner Swa.ntz.
Rolled Down Steps.
In the written complaints IL was
stated that Medic, after much loud
talk and argument, was seen to burst
through the back door and roll down
the steps. He lay still. and Madick,
is said to have come out and carried
him, with the assistance Of neighbOrs,
TO the front of the house and the am
bulance was called. Coroner Swantz
said Thursday afternoon that the in
quest had not yet been finished and
that evidence bearing on the cas- 2 was
being sought
Names of witnesses involved in the
case are being withheld by the police
but according to officials Of the de-
partment there will be several more
called in before any charge is lodged
against any one.
Coroner Swantz said that there was
no evidence OF skull fracture found
during the post mortem, but that a
bruise at the base of the skull was
discovered. That. however, is said to
have been too Slight to cause death
or even uncDnsciOusness.
Bears Out ProstratiOn Theory.
There was also some congestion at
the top Of the brain which would bear
out the theory Of heat prostration. An
other point that would suggest death
from the extreme heat was the fact
that Medic's temperature before his
death amounted to over LIZ degrees,
which is said to be an unusual state
after one has suffered skull fracture.
Coroner Swantz, in summing up the
case Thursday afternoon, made the
following statement;
Everything that has come under
observation since the investigation was
started would point to death from
heat prostratiOn. There has been
nothing foundon the body. bruises or
other wounds, that would warrant a
charge of manslaughter. However,
the Investigation is not finished. The
so far has failed to reveal
any signs of foul play"
