AT THE DEPOT.

The depot being reached, the horses
were detached from the Wagon, which
was backed up to the car selected for the
removal of the President, and the same
gentlemen who had before performed the
duty of transferring the patient from the
wagon to the railroad car. Though they
met with some slight difficulty in doing
this, owing to the fact that the floor of
the car was rather high, the delicate task
was performed successfully, and without
appearing to dsturh the patient When
inside the car, he was transferred from
the bed on which he had been carried
thus far and placed upon the spring he'd.
which had already been prepared for his
reception. The remainder of the party
having already taken their seats, the sig
nal for departure was given, and, amid
silence, the train at & 90 began to move.

The strongest theory appears 10 be that
the encounter took place in the burn yard,
and that only one blow was struck; the in
strunent used was Il portion of "A fence rail-
about four feet long and quite thick IL one

around the neck and II horse used part of
the way in dragging the body out. nhe

Through tue swamp and thcket the body
must have been dragged by the party or

The trail goes on IN direct line to about the
middle of II lane, where it stops. In the
dragging the body was worn through by
friction until the bowels were exposed and
ON Il stone over which the drag had passed
was hanging some human hair. The head
