Heynolds, of Matawau, who attended Stanley Fisher, who was so seriously mangled in a battle' with a shark yesterday that he died a few hours later, performed an autopsy on Fisher's ImmI.v today. He declared that the tlesh torn by the man-eater's teeth was impregnated with a peculiar i>oi sonoiis Ihpild, which seemed to have a deadening effect. on the nerves and mus cles. This probably explained, he said, w hy Fisher apparently -luid little sen sation of pain when the shark took off Ids leg. Little hope Is entertained for the re covery of the body of 12-year-old Les ter Stillweli, the other victim of the Matawau Creek tragedy. It Is believ ed that he was devoured by the shark, ji< persistent dragging of the waters have failed to bring tip the body. Many conflicting reports were re reived here during the day from va rious points along the New York and New Jersey coasts regarding the kill ing of sharks, hut only one appears to have any foundation in fact.
