tContinuod from Page i)

ft was expected that pr Kirsch. bhum'B forma. report of the aus topsy would be given to tho cor. oher to-day and that tho speed of the investigation would then be accelerated.
 Dr Kirscnbaum's Theory
 pr Edward kirschbaum, med. ieal examiner, declares that h fall might have inflicted on Honley tho injuries which caused his donth, but specifics that it could only have boon . fall from q third .story win. dow. The police fall theory was that of n headlong flight down the stairs in the Canal street building outside of which tho victim as found.
 ono Of tho reasons why detec. lives yesterday favored the fall theory was the fact that there woro several chips taken out of the stairs in tho Canal street building at n recent date. This, coupled with a few drops of blood outside tho door, made it seem probable, aus thorltieH held. that HoaIey had stumbled at tho top Of tho stairs, lost hiB balance, and fallen Aends long to the bottom. The medical exaIniner's belief was, however, that such fall, no matter how violent, could not account for tho location and the nature of tho dead mans hurts.
 Yell Several Times Another reas0n for police to fa- vor the theory Of fall was tho fact that Mrs Vanderlip, while held for tho coroner, told them that Hoaiey had fallen down several times while she was with him, and that she heard he had fallen down once or more in the afternoon. There was \ cut over one of Heaiey's eyes. when she lef. him after II o'clock Tuesday night, she said.
 Accompanying Healey, Mrs Van. derlip had gone to A tavern at 10 o'clock. Leaving there, she report od. .her companion had fallen down and she helped assist him to his feet. Ho struck his head at that time. she said
 Thore were fractures in various parts of tho skull, pr Kirschbau haid, that could not be explained by fall down stairs. The only time he hns seon moro extensive fractures, he said, was in cases whefe h man had been crushed by n heavy truck, lt was almost mir. nculous, he Htated, that Heaiey had lived for moro than an hour after .is badly battered body had been teen by passeisby on Canal street.
 Dinicult Co ExpIain Eyan tho theory of fall from difficult to explain, said tho med- l IaaI avn rntpAp 10 WnliA nnAAunt fnp | tho skull fractures, but could not explain the cuts and abrasions. Abraaions on his kneos, legs and fnce could hardly be traced to ( tumble from the window, he claim cd. Again, the blood clots were on tho gido of tho mans head, further refuting tho fall from window theory.
 l The clehnnsB of tho cuts belied another belief, that Of m automo. bile accident, In which caAe, sincf the man would have been dragged, would bo rough and dirty.
 Beaten h Death CIings Most logical of the explanations of Hsaleys death is that he wal beaten to death with q heavy in' Atrument, possibly lead pipe wrapped in carpet or in heavy cloth. Repeated blows from such weapon would account for thu head injuries, the hemorrhagei about the choEt, and the lack O. cuts on tho top of the hend 0nt the absence of broken ribs.
 Lieutenant James Magner yes terdAy found near the scene DOT ton of an autt mobil. shaft, but was still covered with grease ant is not believed by Captain William P. keegan to have been tho in strument in the case.
