Asheville, Nov. 28—William McKinley (Monk) Davis, 24, died at a local hospital this morning, supposedly as the result of drinking poison whiskey. Davis was found in a semi-conscious condition lying in a gutter on Blake street by a passerby last night about 10 o’clock. The police were notified, and Davis was taken into custody. He was placed in the cell as an ordinary case of drunkenness. About 1 o’clock this morning it was discovered that he was in a serious condition, and he was taken to the hospital. An attendant at the hospital said this morning that Davis had died before he could be given medical attention.
