FATAL RESULT OF A BLOW.
William Mullen Dead From a Fist
Stroke on His Jugular Vein.

From the Philadelphia Press Today
William Mullen, twenty-four years, rear of
1407 Germantown road, died early yesterday
morning Of injuries alleged to have been in
ficted by John Mccarthy, twenty-six years,
14l9 Germantown avenue, on Sunday night, at
Master street and Germantown road Both
were prominent factors in the late democratic
primary election in the ninth division Of the
seventeenth ward. Mullen was a supporter of
Matthew Dittmann and Mccarthy was one of
the opposing faction. The contest resulted in
a compromise, and Mccarthy went to the ward
convention.
There was feeling between the two men. who
met at Master street and Germantown road on
Sunday night and quarreled Mullen attempted
to strike Mccarthy it is said, but the latter
proved too quick for him and got in blow on
Mullens jugular vein, which produced instant
paralysis OF the brain, from which he never re-
covered.
Patrick Gillespie, who was standing with Null
len, says Mccarthy struck an unprovoked blow
Mccarthy was arrested by the tenth district
police and held by Magistrate Gillespie without
bail to await the result of Mullen's injury. He
will be arragned today.

FOUND HANGING TO A TREE
Missing Witness in a Pending Case
Discovered Dead.

Paul Louk, young man well known in Ran
dolph county, WA, was found Wednesday
hanging to tree In a strip Of woods on Files
creek, about six miles from Beverly, the county
seat He is supposed to have hung there for
fourteen days, and when found the corpse pro-
sented most horrible appearance. The head
had been pecked at by birds and eaten by
worms until every vestige of the features had
disappeared and the whole form was bloated
and distorted Louk was a very important wit
ness for the state in the trial Of Jacob Louk
his nephew, soon to come up in the circuit
court Of Randolph county. and when he disap-
peared about the first of May it was naturally
supposed he had been induced to leave the
county to avoid being put on the witness
stand. The discovery of his remains, by the
merest accident, throws no light on the man
ner Of his taking off and there are various
theories as to whether he committed suicide or
was hung by mob.
