 An Austrian named Andro Susulic was killed on the track between the More house and Lockwood crossings, Friday night, by the fast mail from New York to Boston, which passes here about mid- night. Susulic, who, with two compan- ions whom he had left in the rear, was walking toward Boston, failed to hear the approach of the train Ono whistles are sounded there) and was struck by the engine. His left leg was broken at the ankle, his skull crushed in and he was pitched head first down the track. The train was stopped, but the man was dead when found and a brakeman was left with the body, with whom also stayed Franck Francisco, Austrian, who had been with Susulic for months, and Rob- ert McHugh, Engliseman, whom they picked up at Southport and who was bound for Providence. The body was placed upon a stretcher, 8 freight sig nailed. the body brought to Fairfield and locked in the freight house. The man stayed all night at the station. Early Saturday morning, Medical Examiner W. H. Donaldson was notified, but only a cursory examination was necessary, as death was caused instantly by the frac- ture of the skull. Susulic was about five feet five inches high, weighing 12O pounds. His clothing was cheap and well worn, the brown check suit being dress; but his underclothes and silk shirt were of fine quality. No money was found on the body, although Francisco asserted that he had had $5 and one of the pockets had been drawn out and then thrust partly back again. There were no papers and no writings, save grain operators book of cipher This contained not only his name, but the name of Andrew Sablin of Chicago and the names of places at which he stopped his tramp. A full box of matches in his pocket had the sulphur burned entirely off the ends on one side, while the others were not touched. Two marked IA. e. ill red were found, also another with ssH'' worked in white silk. This had been giy- en him, Francisco said, by B. F. Hutch inson, the famous grain speculator of Chicago, widely known as "Old Hutch.'' Susulic was for years employed in his office and Hutchinson took such fancy to him that he gave him the rudiments of the business and Snsnlic had at one time considerable money. He lost it all, however, and, about two months ago, gave up the boot black business he had carried on both at Chicago and Louis vile, Ky, and began his walk to Boston. He was 9 years old, unmarried and had been in this country about IA years. He has father, mother and sister in Aus tria. The body was taken in charge, forenoon, by Undertaken Bish- op and buried at the towns expense.
