attempted, contrary to regulations, to cross
on one of the trips of the Solano to Benicia |
from Port Costa, but had been detected |
by the officers and turned ashore. Still |
impelled by the purpose of stealing pas
sage on the boat, when she was taking the |
Eastern bound freight train at midnight he
concealed himself, as is presumed, in the |
shadow of one of the counterpoise apron |
towers, with the intention of darting on |
board the boat just as she started out of
the slip, so that the officers could have no
chance of putting him off. His place of
concealment was only six or eight feet from
the north track on the apron over which
the switch-engine had just run train sec
ton on to the boat, and was running back |
down the apron when the unfortunate man
is supposed to have started to run on board |
the boat, but stumbled, and fell directly |
before the wheels of the engine, which
crushed his head at once and in dragging |
ten or twelve feet before the engine could |
be stopped, the body was drawn between
the rails, rolled under the ash-psn and |
torn literally to shreds, disemboweled. the
vital organs dragged out, lacerated, and the
bones fractured in countless ways and |
places. making an inexpressibly shocking
