Tuc IyONs MYsTERY.-Mr. l.. L. Lyons
u., sent to the hospital from the First Dis
+r;ct station, having been previously ar
ras.ed on st. Charles street in a stupid and
a-unken condition. 1t was found out on
bs removal to the hospital, that he had a
.svere confusion ON the side of the head 1t
bod also been ascertained that he was badly
beaten at the Lake End. Mr.. Lyons, since
the arrest. died of fracture of the skull. He
:. about thirty years old, and resided lately
at No. 81 Camp street
The deceased was arrested at half-past
eleven o'clock on the night of Saturday last.
He had been drinking in Strong's saloon so
much that they had refused to allow him
any more. Meantime he had told the bar
teener of his visit TO the lake, and that
while he was in the bathroom q party of
roydies made an assault upon him, taking
his clothes "Oh :" said he, 'I'm not much
hurt; you'd better look tor the two men
who we're with me; one of ems cut" To
these words no attention was paid, and the
deceased was arrested, and laid in the cell
until eleven o'clock the next day. when Re-
corder Houghton called Coroner Creagh to
see the wounded man, who was still lying
insensible in the CELL
The only gesture made by the dying
man was to stiffen his right arm and point
his finger significantly to his temple. He
had previously been unable to utter a word.
The Coroner, in feeling the head with his
hand, pressed the temple, when the unfor-
tunate man shuddered through the whole
length of his body. On the autopsy a
spread of coagulated and blackened blood
was found underneath the temple, where
the fracture was, showing plainly the cause
of death by pressure upon the brain. In
fact the deceased had been comatose from
this source for hours.
The investigation of the Coroner will be
continued at one o'clock to-day, at his
Office, over the First District station.
Now the two friends of the deceased. who
were with him on his expedition to the lake,
are hereby requested to step up to the Office
of the Superintendent of Police that this
murder may be ferreted out.
