BER CHAR3E ' AGAINST PLAYER McCoj, of Bethany College, Said to Hare Caused Mnnk's Death.

Rogers Issued a warrant tot Thomas McCoy, alias Gardner, lefl end ot the Bethany College team Tbe warrant has been placed in tb hands of Constable W. W. Wlckhan and McCoy will be arrested tomor row morning'. The warrant was Issued because ot the sworn statement made today to Coroner Rogers by Homer N. Young, of Pittsburg, Pa., a former Michigan University player, who was tbe offi cial referee of the game. His state ment is as follows: "Rudolph Munk was running down the field in advance of tbe man with the ball, West Virginia having tha ball about 30 yards from tbe Bethany goal. He was not close to the ball. On this play he was met by a mat said to be Gardner, as his name was given to me by Townsend, the coach for the Bethany team. On this par ticular play this man Gardner ran towards Munk while both were run ning down tbe field. About the time they got 10 yards beyond the scrim mage line Gardner, to the best of my recollection, struck Munk on the back of bis head with his (Gardner's) fist Munk fell and Gardner practically fell over him. Gardner got on bit, feet, for an Instant gazed at Munk and started to walk off the field. For this foul I put him out of the game. He made no reply and no. protest whatever. Munk was uncon scious. Evidently to me. the blow which felled Munk was Intentional." McCoy is the real name of the play er who Is charged with striking Munk, but In this game he was play ing under the name of Gardner. Af ter he bad been ordered from the field he passed the bleachers, where several hundred West Virginia root ers were standing.

Half a score of physicians worked over him, but all to no avail.- He died shortly af ter 8 o'clock without having regained consciousness. Captain Henley, of Betbany, when asked concerning the play, said: "It is the consensus of opinion among the Bethany and players that Munk hit McCoy and McCoy hit him back. None of the Bethany players saw the play, nor do I think the officials did, as all were watching the man with the ball." BOY PUSHED INTO BONFIRE. Youth Who Poured Kerosene 0 Lad's Head Arrested.
