 count of the fight near the City Cafe early Monday morning which resulted in the death of Roy w. Barnett, longshDreman, an in- quest into the Barnett death was held this morning in the court of U. s. Commissioner Felix Gray.
 The inquest came as swift aftermath of the admission early this morning by Samuel Johnson, Douglas native, that he had en- gagged in a violent fight with Bar nett in the early morning hours Monday.
 The six-man coroner's jury, after hearing testimony of the fight and description from Dr. w. M. Whitehead as to the method in which Barnett died, officially decided the death of the longshore worker was due to "strangulation from bleeding from wounds and contusions about the nose and mouth, apparently inflicted by some blunt instrument in the hands of a second party"
 Tells of Fight
 Witness to the death beating was Peter Austin, Hoonah native, who told of being at the City Case early Monday morning with Sam ucl and Duncan Johnson, of Douglas.
 Austin had just finished calling a taxi to take the Johnson broth CTS home when he heard Samuel Johnson and Barnett talking rough he told the jury He said the two went outside to fight. Austin followed them and saw Samuel Johnson knock Barnett down, then crouch astride the long shoreman, beating him in the face with his fists. Next, Johnson arose and grabbed nearby chair and hit Barnett over the head with it several times, Austin stated.
 Austin said he and Duncan Johnson next hauled the mad na- tive from the scene and into the cafe, where they called second cab. This time they saw Samuel Johnson going outside with an- other man, just as they wae com pleting their call. Johnson had knocked the second man down be- fore his brother and Austin could haul him away, it was stated.
 Mad at Brother
 As Duncan Johnson pulled his brother from the second man, Samuel Johnson was reported to have wrathfully accused Duncan of being 'on the white mans side."
 The three fled across to the cold storage plant, Austin stated, only to see searchlight playing on the buildings there. Fearing police were after them, the three natives returned to the City Cafe and called third cab. While they were awaiting its arrival on the sidewalk, they saw the second man Samuel Johnson had knocked down come out of the restaurant, Austin said
 The second man attacked by Samuel Johnson was Robert Young, of Seward, who was re- ;ently taken off the Baranof here Under accusation of having slowed away on the boat when it left the Westward city. Young was released last week after proving that a check he had offered the purser would have paid his passage.
 Admitted Fight
 Samuel Johnson was apprehend- ed by Deputy U. S. Marshal Wal ter Hellan, Police Chief Kenneth Junge and FBI men working on Lhe case early yesterday evening. After hours of grilling, at 3 am. this morning he admitted having been in fight with Barnett Mon- day morning, according to Chief Junge. He has not confessed to

RELIEF SOUGHT
 FOR TAXPAYERS
State Federation to Meet Friday to Discuss PrO-
 posed Legislation

Passage of legislation to relieve present taxes on real estate will be urged by the legislative committee of the Connecticut Federation of Taxpayers Leagues at conference Friday afternoon with Governor Robert A. Hurley. William J. Pape, local publisher, is a member of the committee. ...t
 Governor Hurley is expected to prove sympathetic to the commit tees request since he has advocated a program to reduce "the ever in- creasing burden upon home own CTS" caused by municipal taxation of real estate. In his inaugural message, the governor asked the General Assembly to authorize him to appoint a special commission o1 tax experts to study this problem and recommend steps that should be taken.
 The members of the legislative committee will meet Saturday night at MT. Pape's home in Woodbury to discuss the results of the confer ence with the governor.
 On the legislative committee of the association, in addition to MT. Pape are: Arthur F. Goethner, of Glas- tonbury, president; George L. Sex ton, of Trumbull; William DeRosier of Bristol; George W. Hull, of Bris- tol; Major Harry Porter, of Glas- tonbury; and John N. Roth, oi Middletown.

$1,OOO,OOO FUND
 FOR COLLEGE SET
Holy Cross Graduates of Hartford Pledge $25,OOO
 to Worcester Campaign [

$25,OOO was the quota set for the Hartford club of Holy Cross col- lege in the $1 100000 building fund drive now being conducted all through the country. At it's annual dinner meeting last night members pledged themselves to raise this sum before the college celebrates its tooth anniversary of founding In 1943.
 Originally scheduled to address last nights gathering was the Rev. Richard Bowling, s. J., director of education at Holy Cross and a na- tive of this city. Owing to illness he was unable to be present. and the Rev. J. Bryan Connors, s. J., spoke in his place.
 U. s. Commissioner William J. Wholean was toastmaster at the dinner.
 The Naugatuck Valley club of Holy Cross, which with its ex- tremely large membership, is ex- pected also to raise sum Substan- tially as large as the Hartford fig ure. John G. Gilmartin, principal of the Duggan school, is chairman of the local drive committee, and is expected to announce shortly plans for starting the building fund drive locally.
