Died. "Fireman Jim Flynn" (Andrew Chiariglone), 55, heavyweight, only boxer ever to knock out Jack Dempsey; of heart disease; in Los Angeles.

Died. Anna Katharine Green (Mrs. Charles Rohlfs), 88, pioneer detective story writer; in Buffalo, N. Y. Influenced by Emile Gaboriau and Wilkie Collins, she published her first work, The Leavenworth Case, in 1878, nine years before Conan Doyle introduced Sherlock Holmes in A Study in Scarlet. A bestseller, it ran to 150,000 copies, is still in demand. Author Green's favorite plot ingredients: the murderer is the first to announce the crime; someone passing a door hears a conversation, attributes it to the wrong persons; circumstantial evidence always points to the innocent, thus illustrating Author Green's stanch belief in its fallibility. In some 20 of her 36 books, the hero was a master mind named Ebenezer Gryce. Called the world's foremost detective story writer by Stanley Baldwin, Miss Green was a friend of such addicts as Presidents Roosevelt I and Wilson, Lord Bryce. William Maxwell Evarts.
