MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
An Unknown Man Found Murdered on
Spring Grove Avenue.

About 511 O'Clock this smorning gardiner in the
Spring Grove Cemetery found the dead body of an
unknown man lying just inside the Cemetery
fence shout fifty feet from toll-gate No. on
the avenue. The head OF the man was all crushed
in and on his face was laid large fiat stone Who
he is or was is st IL unknown. The description OF
him is about as follows
About thirty five years OF age, medium height,
heavy set, with large head and full face, light
brown hair inclined to be red, short mustache and
goatee dal ker han his hair. He was well dressed,
although his clothes were slightly worn. He had
on blle sack coat, dark cloth vest light pants
soft black hat and Jefferson shoes
Considerable excitement was occasioned in the
vicinity Of where the body was found. The man
was murdered, beyond doubt, and must have
been thrown into the cemetery by his murderer or
murderers, who supposed that the body would not
be discovered until a late hour today when in
the meantime, they would have ample timo to
make good their escape.
The murder is one that will be almost II not en-.
tirely as mysterious a. the Baldwin tragedy. The
officers of the Cumminsvile Police Station disc w.
cred that during the night buggy had been
driven up TO the fence, right where the body was
found, and then turned short around and went
back. as the racks in the dust on the averue
showed. Everything is being done to unravel the
mystery and find out who the murdered man is
The Coroner was notified and will proceed to hold
an inquest at once
The pockets OF the murdered man were turned
inside out. The supposition is that he had been
to the Cedar Grove picnic last night, and had
either been foully dealt with there or when he
was returning. and had been conveyed to the
cemetery and thrown over the fence where found
to divert suspicion from the actual place of occur
renee.
