THE CASE OF W.J. MOONEY

Coroner Wright Was Not Notified in Time to Take Action
There are ugly rumors afloat in regard to the death of Twelve-year-old Wm. J. Mooney, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Mooney, who died at the home of his parents on Wadsworth street last Monday and whose body was taken to Auburn Wednesday for internment. It is reported that the boy had been badly beaten by an older boy and that death resulted from such injuries. It is also stated that a train hand on the Middlesex Railroad witnessed the assault.
Mr. Mooney appeared before Police Justice Smelzer yesterday at 11 A.M. and made an affidavit to the effect that his boy had been kicked and otherwise assaulted by a boy named McCormack and another, and that such injuries led to his death. Dr. Delaney, who attended the boy, issued a certificate to the effect that death was caused by appendicitis and peritonitis.
Coroner Wright feels highly indignant because he was not informed as to the state of affairs in time to make an investigation. As the boy was buried on Wednesday, he feels that it is now too late to hold an inquest.
