Condition and Left Lying Under

GERS Burns and Duff went up to the gravel
bank, near the C. 4 P. de-
pot at Martins Ferry to look after
a man who was reported to be lying in an
unconscious state, under q small tree on
said gravel bank. The man was easily
found, and though not unconscious, he
presented most horrible sight. Both eyes
were swollen shut, bis nose was the shape
of potato, and his entire couDtenance
bore the marks OF q very severe beating.
In addition to this he was hardly able 10
walk, from too free use of strong drink, and
badly bruised leg. When he arrived at
the lookup one of his intimate friends did
not know him till he said his name was
Thomas Richards. BE wss furnished with
a basin and water and assisted in washing
the blood from his face. His shirt about
the neck and shoulders looked 80 much
like q red undsrshirt that he thought he
was undressed when he took it off. After
bathing his face and head he seemed more
in possession of his faculties, and told the
following story: Dave Terrell, he said
stole SIS from him at Hsrtenstein
saloon in the morning, and after dinner he
went up to Ferrells fathers house to try
and get his money. AS he expressed 1t,
