Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Leonard J. Rumery, 37, an Illinois Central machinist, who died at 1 o’clock yesterday morning at St. Joseph’s hospital.

Rumery died from a brain hemorrhage and pneumonia. He told physicians when he entered the hospital Feb. 25 that he had been slugged.

An autopsy on the body yesterday revealed that Rumery had bruises on the left side of his head and on his arm. The physician who performed the autopsy told Capt. Frank Glisson, homicide officer, that the bruise on Rumery’s head could have caused the hemorrhage.

The homicide officer talked with J. W. Fugler, special police officer, with whom Leonard Rumery lived at 3085 Allison, yesterday.
