INQUEST INTO DEATH of JIM HANEY IS NOT BEING PLANNED
An inquest into the death of Jim Haney, 38 years old,
who died in a cell at the city jail, is unlikely, Dr. J. H.
Robbins, county coroner, said Wednesday night.
An autopsy performed on the body Wednesday revealed that injuries
suffered by the man when he was struck Tuesday afternoon by a
Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific railroad freight train
contributed to his death. No crime was evident in the way the
case was handled, the coroner said, and no inquest will be held
unless Mr. Haney’s family desires a further investigation of
circumstances surrounding his death.
Dr. Robbins’ report of the autopsy was made after he had
received a report of the postmortem examination made by Drs. A.
C. Starry, Roscoe Jepson and C. A. Katherman. Denatured alcohol,
which the man admitted having drunk, also was given by the
physicians as a contributing cause of death. The examination
revealed that Haney had suffered the fracture of seven ribs and
that one of the ribs had punctured a lung. Internal hemorrhages
were found. Examination of the brain revealed that Haney had
suffered from an alcoholic brain and brain hemorrhages, the
coroner said.
