Lockport, N. Y., Jail.

Information was received in this city yesterday announcing the death of Thomas Doring, 61, a former employe of the Hemingray glass plant, in a cell at police headquarters at Lockport, N. Y., Saturday morning. Doring was well known in Muncie. He had been employed as an insulator presser at the Hemingray factory until recently, when he quit work and left for Lockport to visit a friend, Albert MacGregor. It is said that when he arrived at the MacGregor home they told him to go to a hotel to stay. This greatly angered Doring and he took to drinking. He was placed under arrest by the police and was placed in a cell to sober up. Shortly after his con­finement he complained of being ill and he remarked to the police sargent that he feared he would die. A stimulant was given him but he grew steadily worse and a physician was summoned. Be­fore the doctor arrived Doring breathed his last. The body was removed to the morgue and his relatives in this city were notified. Considerable money was found on his person. The physician pronounced his death as being due to alcoholism. It is not known whether the body will be brought to this city for burial.
