tiles were notified OF the murder Of Cap
itol Policeman in the village of Abba, CON
stituting portion of the Fifth Ward OF
this city, and in short time the news
Of the occurrence Of the tragedy was gen
orally known, although the distance from
the heart of the city to the locality in
which the murder transpirod is such that
the particulars were not fully developed
20 the community. The tragedy is still
shrouded in great mystery. At hali-past
four o'clock this morning, citizen of Al
bia, named VIM. II. Nandorpool, who was
proceeding from his residence to a distant
barn, found the murdered policeman.
David Csandell, lying upon the sidewalk
/ in front Of the house of John Davis, stiff
and cold in death. lie was lying upon
his face, and from bullet wound in the
forehead blood had oozcd and tricklcd
into pool upon the walk Mr., Wander
pool at once alarmed some Of -riiTU urfvir-
bors, and tho murdered man was tendcrly
taken up and conveyed to his residence,
about hundred rods from the scene Of
the terrible occurrence.
The alarmed and indignant citizens at
once began an investigation into the cir
cumstances connected with the tragedy.
and in short time ii was discovered that
/ the store of McNeal Il Pilling. connected
with the Troy wooden works, had been
hurghriously entered and an attempt
made to force open the safe in the store
during the night. The body of police
man Crandcll was found distant from the
store about 200 feet. At about twenty
minutes to one o'clock he entered the barn
/ Of the Troy X Abba horse railroad compa-
i ny, and conversed for few minutes with
the Waterman on duty there lie then
left and pursued his beat past the store,
and it is supposed that while passing he
discovered the presence Of the burglars
i Within, and listening for short time
probably satisfied himself that there were
too many Of them for him to attack single
handed, and that he then started down
the street in the direction of the Troy
Wooden Mill. which was running, to pro-
cure assistance. IT is further supposed
that an accomplicc of the burglars was on
picket without the store, having taken up
a position across the street in dark area
, between two houses, and that observing
, Crandell he fired upon and killed him.
