IHE CORONER HOLDS AN INQUEST
Referee Of Football Game At Wheel

Captain On Back Of Head Coach
Declares Slugging Had Been Go
ing On All Through the Battle
Munk Injured Lawt Year and Had
Never Fully Recovered.
Wheeling, W. Va. (8peelal)
Ctarglng him with the wilful mur
der ot Rudolph Munk, left halfbaca
and captain of the West Virginia
University football team. Coroner W
W. 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. Cries of "Dirty
player" and "Tough" came from the
crowd and In reply McCoy said.
"Well, he was slugging me all
through the game."
Dr. O. M, Staats rushed to the side
of the player and hurriedly plac
ing him In an automobile rushed him
to tbe City Hospital. 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."

Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports,
' Bradstreeta says:
"Colder, more seasonable weather
stimulating for retail and Jobbing
reorder trade; a current distribu
tion at many cities about equal to
last year at this date; fairly good
showing by the usual monthly ex
hibits of failures and clearings for
October; a continuance ot the declin
ing tendency hitherto noted In farm
produce, especially cereals and food
producing animals at wholesale;
firmer money rates, with reports of
an Increased tendency on the part ot
Western farmers to hold crops, and
the pushing ot the killing frost He
further to the Southward, thus ter
minating the growth of cotton In a
wide area are among the leading
features of the week. Current re
ports as to collections are that they
are about fair.
"Relatively best reports as to retail
trade came from -the Central West
and South, where the cold wave earlv
In the week stimulated sales in sea
sonable goods. Trade at eastern cen
ters has been helped somewhat, but
reports as a whole do not testify t
expected activity resulting. In th
western couptry features are the ef
fects on grain marketing and the con
tinued decline to new low levelB ot
wheat and other cereals." ,
