Stanton Iindicator As an Eastern
oound freight train on the C.. a o. road
was nearing Fisbersville Sunday evening,
one of the brakemen, Mr.. W. VI. Via,
noticed something on one of the loaded
coal ears and told the conductor that
tramp was on the train. As the train
nearcd Waynesboro the brakeman went
h acl to the car on which he had seen the
object and found it to be a cloth with
something soft in it. He then went for
ward to the engine aud told the engineer
that there was something back on one Of
the cars that he did not ike On reach
ing Waynesboro the two went back and
found the cloth contained dead rhie
baby but few hours old. They gave 1t
over to the police and on Monday the con
ductor, Mr. c. ;. Gay, and Mr. Via were
summoned to the inquest in Nalnesboio.
Mr.. Gay when interviewed said ihc Train
men who brought the car to stanton
after backing their train down in the Hat
turned around and went back West. and
about 30 minutes afterward De- came along
and took the ear. II is mmor,d that
while the engineer Of the tram that
brought the car here was turning his cn-
CINE he saw man pas, the engine house
with a bundle under his arm. If this be
true it is possible that he wa, carrying the
little waite, who not more than an honf
afterwards was seen ON th- car. Mr..
Gay thinks it possible that it was
put on up in West End, as the
train that brought the car stopped for
some time on the siding there. lie thinks
it impossible for it to have been put on
west of Stanton, for the brakemen bad
been passing over the cars and he is sure
it was not put on east of Staunton as the
train was running from the time 1t left
this place until the bundle was seen. The
iury found that the child bad come TO ITS
death by some unknown violent means;
the doctors tesiifying that there was no
reason why it should not have lived If
/ there had been none.
