Shocking Murder.

Washington. d. c., 30. A young man
named Frank Hadu was shockingly murdered
last night in this city. The skull was
crushed with billy, which was broken by
blows, and the face so much disfigured and 80
thickly clotted with blood as 10 be scarcely
recognizable. The deceased was Virginia
drover, and had been in the habit of stopping
at hotel near the city market. Yesterday
morning he went to Baltimore and sold his
stock, realizing six or eight thousand dollars,
and retui ned to this city by the late train,
intending to continue bis journey to Alexan-
dria, Virginia. The body was discovered in
the Army square lot, only few yards from
the Baltimore & Potomac railroad station.
The theory is that the parties who committed
the crime knowing he had money, followed
him from Baltimore, and availing themselves
of the opportunity seized and carried him to
the lot, where they dealt his death blow and
robbed him. This tragedy causes great ex-
element throughout the city, and many per-
sons rashly threaten lynch law should the
murderers be discovered.
