SAID he HAD BEEN ATTACKED BIZ TWO MES-AS
| INQUEST TO BE HELD.
The circumstances attending the fendish as
sault committed on Mr.. George Juenemann
last Friday night, as published in yesterday 3
STAR, are still shrouded in mystery. and many
theories are advanced concerning the reason
why peaceable citizen should have been SO
cruelty butchered. The police still hold to the
theory that he was struck by a train on the
Baltimore and Ohio road, notwithstanding the
facts related by the victim and the other known
circumstances attending the tragedy. As stated
| in yesterdays STAR, Mr.. Juenemann never car
ried much money about his person, and il the
assault was committed by persons who knew
him their motive certainly could not have beeu
robbery. Lieut.. Kelly was emphatic in his op-
position to the theory that Mr.. Juenemann was
assaulted. He was under the impression that
the victim was walking along beside the track
and was struck by q train and tossed over the
railroad ties.
DEATH OF THE VICTIM.
The patient grew steadily worse yesterday
afternoon and late last night he regained con-
seriousness. He could not speak, however, and
shortly after midnight he died. His remains
were then removed to his mothers home on O
street, between 5th and 9Th streets northeast
and prepared for burial. The mother of the
deceased Indignantly denied a rumor that she
suspected her son-in-law. Mr.. Hollahan, of the
murder. Mr.. Hollahan, she said, was separated
from his wife, but she did not think for q
moment that he would be guilty of doing such
horrible act.

to his bed and asked him what was the matter.

she said, spoke to them and they became so
bad that he had several of them arrested Then

on his face and his dying statements ought to
be enough to convince any one that he was not
struck by train" This morning the police
notified the coroner of the death but as thewrong
number of the house was given, that official
