"First he quit breathing, but his heart con tn ued to function. Artificial respira tion failed and a few moments later his heart fluttered and he died." Hobby Evans of Portland, Ore., well known manager of prize fight ers, w ho at present is managing Mor ris Lux, welterweight, also at the fight, expressed dissatisfaction with the work of the referee. "The fight should have been stopped," he said. "He was taking terrible punishment.". "I'm afraid he's dead." Lux told Evan when O'Mallory hit the mat, he declared yesterday, adding: Criticizes Referee. "I'm a fighter myself.' That fight hould have been stopped. I didn't like the work of the referee. He didn't break the fighters after the bell soon enough to suit ne." Kvans, when all efforts to revive O'Mallory failed, begged for an op portunity to try to revive the in jured youth by his . own method, which, he declares, has brought out many welterweights from a stu por. "That is to prick with a knife the third fiRiicr of the left hand tinder the fingernail," he said. "By doing this a nerve is reached which might have functioned his respiratory or gans." But he was denied the privilege of attempting this last effort to save the young gladiator. Benefit Planned. While the county investigation proceeded yesterday, supporters of the boxing game iiv Omaha were conferring and planning for a benefit fight program, the proceeds to be given for the support of the bereaved parents of young O'Mallory.
