Fireman's Death
Believed Caused
By Old Infection
Medical Examiner Files
Report on Demise of
Private CROUCH

The death of Private
James s. CROUCH, a member
of the Waterbury Fire De-
partment, whose funeral
took place today, has been
reported to Coroner John T..
Monzani.
It Is believed likely that an Off
cial investigation will be made II
additional evidence Is needed to
supplement the report OF Medical
Examiner DR.. Edward H. Kirsch-
baum which places the passing Of
the well known fireman as sud-
den and violent death" duc to an
infection Of leg.
It Is also believed that the board
OF fire commissioners will take Of
ficial cognizance Of the medical
examiners report and will conduct
It's own inquiry to determine
whether or not Private Crough's
demise may be traceable to injuries
sustained In the line OF duty. II
this belief Is confirmed, Mrs. johann
nah CROUCH, widow, will be eligible
for o pension.
Private CROUCH collapsed while
on duty last week In the Brooklyn
Fire station. He was listening to a
radio broadcast at the time. He
was removed later to his home,
where he died early Monday morn
ing.
The medical examiner attributes
his death to the infection and has
filed his report with Coroner Mon
zani. CROUCH suffered leg in
jury while fighting fire several
years ago and 1t Is believed that
the old injury became aggravated
OF late. The medical examiner de-
MED today a current report that
Private CROUCH died Of a fractured
skull. In falling TO the floor OF the
fire station he suffered abrasions
about the head, but they were not
serious nor anything approaching a
fatal nature.

Apparently he was trying to
threaten me. In the evening he came
again and said he had to leave Sian
for day or two. When asked where
he was going, he said that fighting
had started, many soldiers had been
killed, and he was asked by the rebels
to 60 to the front and direct the oper-

that somebody was eavesdropping out

Yuan-chung's death at the Sian re-
ception house during the fracas.
I told T. v. of the seizure of my
diary and important documents by
Chang and his change of attitude
after their perusal I stressed the
point that, unless punitive operations
were speedily carried out, there was
no other way Of delivering the coun-
try from the present crisis. I also
showed him my plans of attack so
that he might relate them to the CEN
tral authorities. After a half hours
conversation pressed him to leave,
for, II the conversation we're pro-
longed, 1t would raise suspicious.
Toward nightfall T. v. came to see
me again. I said to him, Whatever
you do, you must first think of the
preservation Of the nation. Do not
take my personal safety into consider
alton. We must put the welfare Of the
public first and our private interests
last. Even If Sian be surrounded by
troops, and myself be in personal
danger, my heart will be serene"
Tonight Chang asked me to avail
myself Of the presence Of T. v. to
discuss with him one or two questions
with view to settlement. 1 gravely
declined to do so and gave him to
understand that nothing would be dis

Pain Grows Acute.
December 19-For the last few days
I have been suffering from pains in
the joints. but today my lower side
aches, and the pain is so acute that
can hardly sit up. I have however,
finished reading Mo I'll.
Today is Saturday, marking the end
of the three-day truce, but Chang
and his confederates have shown no
intention of escorting me back to
Nanking. Being fully aware of the
worthlessness of their promises,
have not allowed myself to entertain
the least hope in this respect.
Chang dropped in during the eve
ming. He told me that the date for
T. VS. and Mo-san's departure from
Marking was not yet definite, but he
had heard from Ming-san reporting
satisfactory results Of his mission to
Marking. I probed the meaning Of
these words and assured myself that
the outcome could not be what Chang
imagined it to be.
Chang showed his eagerness to close
the unhappy incident and requested
me to consider the acceptance of some
OF the demands that could be more
easily put into practice. He explained
that it would suffice if I would accept
only four of the eight demands. Upon
being asked which four were struck
off the list, he said the last four.
told him that, since had not yet
returned to Marking, and even If they
could convince me, not a single de-
mand could be put into operation, and
hence no discussion could be entered
into, no matter whether the number
of demands was eight or four.
