Notes:

Boxer Held in Death of Nahant Cop.
 A beating he allegedly inflicted nearly two weeks ago on Patrolman Peter J. Tierney of Nahant caused the arrest yesterday on a charge of manslaughter of Joseph L. Junkins, former heavy-weight boxer in the navy, when the officier died at Massachusetts General Hospital.
 Junkins was released on bonds of $2500 and will be arraigned today in Lynn court. Meantime Medical Examiner George B. Magrath has been asked by Dist.-Atty. Hugh A. Cregg of Essex County to perform an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. This will also take place today.
 Junkins was being placed under arrest by Tierney and Patrolman George Coles in Nahant on Aug. 23, when a woman intervened in his behalf. The woman fell down and Junkins claims that it was due to a push by one of the officers. However it happened, he admitted he saw red and beat both officers.
 Coles received two broken ribs and Tierney went to Lynn Hospital for three days, recovering sufficiently to appear against Junkins, who was fined $60 for assault on both men. On Friday, Tierney suffered a relapse and in spite of an emergency operation he died yesterday. (Source: The Boston Daily Record, Sept. 6, 1934).

Note from Margaret F. Bouchard:
Jack & Madge Harrington are brother’s and sister’s, they came over from County Cork, Ireland in the late 1800’s, Madge’s real name is Margaret Frances Harrington, she married my grandfather Albert E. Junkins in Marblehead, Massachusetts. She and her brother Jack had two nieces named Eleanor and Ruthie who also lived in Massachusetts.
 Madge Harrington is my grandmother, her son’s name is Albert O. Junkins, he is my dad, someone use to write to my dad from Ireland and I would like to know if they are still alive or if there are any relatives that would know the people I am talking about. Please let me know, I would like to know about my grandmother, she died before I was born., and my dad only remembers her when he was 7, she died from spinal menigitis at the age of 40, I think. Thank you ever so much for your thoughtfulness and cooperation. The purpose is to just to keep in touch with long-lost relatives so we know that we are still all around what is left of us. Thank you and God Bless You All.
