Clad only in pajamas and a silk bathrobe, his body was found bent over a writing desk, stricken with a heart attack. He was 41 years old. His wife, from whom he had been | living apart for several years, when! notified of his death wept bitterly end blamed his untimely end to his/| “fickle fair weather friendships.” “It was his heart that killed all right,” she sobbed. “It was broken. When Freddie had money any friend could get it from him but when he lost it none of them would give him a tumble. They didn’t even invite him to the big fights.” Mrs. Welsh said her husband had written newspaper articles over Dempsey's signature to disprove “slacker charges” made against the heavyweight before he won the world title from Jess Willard in 1919. She said she telegraphed Dempsey before his recent fight here to visit her husband but no cknowledgment was recefved. A strange quirk of fortune, Welsh was plaintiff in a $150,000 damage suit jn supreme court in Newark in an effort to recover part of his lost tortune. His farm in New Jersey ‘which he valued at $150,000 was sold to satisfy a mortgage of $20,000 last fall. The farm was purchesed when e retired from the ring in 1917, Weleh was born Frederick Hall Thomas on March 5, 1886 at Ponty- pridd, Wales, and started his box- ing career at the age of 19, chang- his name after his first few bouts. Welsh was known as a great de- fensive boxer and achieved great notice when he fought a 20-round draw with Packy McFarland 17 years ago. In 1912 he won the light- weight title of England by defeat- ing Marty Wells and two years lat- er became the world's champion in e furfous Z0-round struggle with Willle Ritchie in London. He lost the title to Benny Leonard in New York May 28, 1917, being stopped in the ninth round. On recent date, Welsh had been mission as captain in the reserve of- ficers’ corps. About two weeks ago, he was discharged after being ar- ralgned on a charge of disorderly conduct charge when he resisted ar- rest. Welsh had been in {ll health and was worrled over finances. His wid- ow zaid he had pawned his champ- | jonship belt which was valued at| $1,000. | Besides his widow, he left two | children and a brother, Stanley, of Summit, N. J. At the request of his brother, an autopsy Wwill be per- formed today.
