Dunn'e back rested on the upper rope, which was very slack from the pressure of the crowd, and the calves of bis Up rested on tho lower rope. He coidd not gat down. And even If he had been down, the conduct of hla seoondaloat the fightfor Doan In eelzlng EUlott'a hands during the time he bad Dunn on thenpes. With regard to the referee, I can' prove that he was never ap< leded toby tbe umplrea; and ontll such ap^al was m vie by hem to the roferee, he had no more to do vriui 'giving a decision than any, tbe moit dlatntereated map anund-the ring.
