    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).

     Junkins was arrested on a charge of drunkenness and unsigne profane language during a fight in front of a hotel in Nahant, after Tierney and Patrolmen George Coles had been severely beaten. Tierney appeared int the Nahant police court when Junkins pleaded guilty to assault upon the two men and was fined $60.
     Two days later, Tierney, 54 years old, was taken to a hospital in Boston for an emergency operation, and died within a few hours. (Source: The Boston Herald, Sept. 21, 1934).
