COOGAN DIED OF BRONCHITIS

Bronchitis and not heroin poisoning, according to the verdict
rendered yesterday by the Coroner's jury, was responsible for the
death of James E. Coogan, 23 years old, who died in the Hahnemann
Hospital on Sunday.  Coogan was the son of James E. Coogan, Sr.,
assistant superintendent of the United States Printing Bureau at
Washington.  The young man was picked up last Friday by a policeman
attached to the Eleventh and Winter streets station in an 
unconscious condition on Winter street near Ninth.  The day before
he was discharged from the Philadelphia Hospital, where he had taken
the cure for the drug habit.
