Station Master George Thomas ran down the

lying at the extreme end OF the platform. A
revolver was grpped tightly In his right
hand and blood was trickling from little

some means of Identifying him. In the inside

crumred UP, On the front of It was written in
word to H. C, Thompson, Beverly, N. J."
That was the Only paper found. There was
in the Same pocket. An ambulance surgeon
made n superficial examination Of the wound
and said he did not think 1t was very serious
that the second shot missed its mark. At the
City Hospital the doctor said he thought the
wound was more serious than he at first sup
posed. but he could not tell whether 1t was
mortal.
No one ut the depot had noticed the man be-
fore the shooting. and the, railroad men think
he came In on tho Boston Express from Phila-
delphia. 1t liz possible. however,, that he was
on his way to Philadelphia. He might easily
have passed through the depot without attract
ing attention. A telegram was sent to the ad-
dress on the envelope. From the fact that the
initials on the shirt tab are the same as those
on the envelope 1t Is pretty certainly inferred
that the mani name is II. c. Thompson.
