Today, Bobby Burton of Providence, white, wai released under 32? 00 bond after arraignment on a technical manolaughter charge. Bobby Burton of Mi nchester. a negro, was dead, felled by a laxly blow shortly liefore the final bell. P< lice said their holding of the survivor was only roptine while they checked the ring death An autopsy was to be performed by medical examiner Joe Plcozzi today. Officials said the dead boxer wax barred from fighting iccently in New York liecause of a heart condition. He was pronounced dead last night by Dr. James J. Flan nagan. examining physician of the Rhode Island taxing commission who a few hours earlier had pro n Sliced him physically fit. There was much similarity in the professional careers of the two Bobby Burtons who Came to the same ring last night. Both were aspiring young welterweights; both had ambition* some day t> battle for the world welter weight championship. That they had taen matched in a preliminary to a main event In a town a little off the main stem was evidence that neither wts» quite ready to fulfill IT.w ambition. Tixlay, the chances for Bobby Burton of Manchester, N. 11.. 24-year-old and the father of two children, are gone forever. That the winner. Bobby Burton of Providence, was credited with a clean knock out. was of little consolation to him He broke down when Informed that the other Burton never got up. An emergency squad failed to revive the stricken fighter. He bad been down for a nine ciftint in the fourth round, but the fighting had been on even terms and the referee. Sharkey Buano, did not call the fight until the loser went down again for thu last time. The dead taxer, who formerly lived in Pittsburgh, began his professional career there in 1945 and fought four bouts last year, winning three and losing one before shifting to Manchester. ■i Q Trade In a Good Town — Decatut | CORT O - — 0 — Last Time Tonight — “MURDER IN THE MUSIC HALL" Vera Ralston, Wm.
