He shot behind one of his ears, and the ball lodged in his head. He was clerk in the office of the Rochester Rail Road Company-a native of Hadley, Mass The papers of the next day C26h) say that the day before "a number of astounding facts were developed, and others in train of developc- ment which can hardly fail to designate the cold blooded assassin.
