FIGHTER DIED OF BRAIN HEM0RRHAGE
This Is Coroner's Verdict in
 Hartford Case

Hartford, Conn, Dec. 15 R- Latest developments in the death of Charles Pegulihan, who succumbed to injuries suffered in a semi final bout with Al Friedman of Boston at the State Armory here Monday night were:
 Statement of Medical Examiner Henry N. Costello and Dr. John Nc Lean, who performed the autopsy at St. Francis hospital yesterday, that death was caused by hemro- rhages of the brain brought on by severe blows on the head.
 Declaration by State Athletic Commissioner Thomas E. Donohue that every precaution had been taken before the bout and that 1t was an unfortunate accident"
 Arrangements to ship body by French liner Paris on December 23 from New York to home in Pau, France, expenses of shipment to be met from fund now being subscribed by Hartford residents.
 Announcement by Robert Ludel- inc, former manager of Eugene Cri- qui, ex-world's champion, and now associated with French boxers in America, that he is quitting the boxers now handled by him and severing all connection with the sport, returning to France with Pegulihans' body.
 Continuance of the case of Fried man until December 23 pending for nal finding of Coroner J. Gilbert Calhoun. Regard as formality since boxing is legal sport in Con- necticut and Pegulihan was fatally injured in the course of regularly conducted boxing match.
 Certain formalities must be met before it will be possible to ship the boxers body back to his native France, and Eudeline will visit the French consul at New York tomor- row to secure the necessary papers.
 State Athletic Commissioner Thomas E. Donohue of New Lon don, while voicing deep regret at the sad incident today said that it was "an unfortunate accident, such as might happen in any field of sport.
 If the statistics in my possession are correct, boxing has a lower fa- tality rate than any of the sports in which there is actual physical contact. Everything connected with the affair was legal. The French boxer was carefully examined by Dr. Mclean and found to be in splendid physical condition.
 "There was nothing in the way l of precaution that was not taken according to all the provisions made for the safety of all boxers partici- pating in bouts in this state."

Since the expose of Max Carey,
