shot through the back after which IN. head had neer
nearly severed from the body BY mn on the bacr ar
the neck.
The body forthwith conv we'd 10 thu sts,ion hose

The body was fo,p I'd by two men. n German named
Charles Henry anS. colored man named John Smith.
Subsequent nves gation by the police disclosed the fol-
lowing particu' ars-At about four O'Clock yesterday
afternoon four men, supposed to be Italians, were seen

Besides the foregoing meagre facts nothing further
could bo learned Of this horrible and mysterious affair
