TO DIG HIS OWN GRAVE.
A special to the New York World from Sulphur
Springs, Tex, Feb. "a, says: Last night John
Kennedy, tenant on the farm OF Mr.. Jim Smith,
II miles south OF this place, left his house after
supper and never returned. His prolonged alb
sence caused uneasiness to his wife, and Monday
morning she got the neighbors to search for him.
Search was continued uutil Wednesday evening,
when KennedS'5 body was found near an old
house one mile from mis- home. The back Of his
head was horribly crushed In four places. Inside
OF the house signs could be seen OF preparations
TO hang the man and the print or rope on the
ground. The house had no floor. There were also
prints of the rope about his neck. Near where the
body lay was mole dug in the ground-dug evil
IDENTITY by himself.
on the preceding Friday man well mounted
and armed had made sharp inquiries OF the where
aboutS OF Kennedy. When Kennedy was told Of
this ne displayed much uneasinn and declared he
would Immediately leave the country If he knew
this TO be certain man with whom he made mys-
ferrous illusions OF having had tragic difficulty
In Western Texas. The general opinion IS that
the hole by the side OF his dead body was intended
to De his grave, which he was forced TO dig while
Others think he committed some robbery in Wes-
tern Texas and that his enemy was making him
search for the stolen money.
