 About o'clock yesterday morning Nehemiah Smith. d milkman from North Haven. was found lying in an unconscious state and badly bruised at the foot of the stone steps that lead down to the basement under Turner's meat market on Hall avenue. A little girl who lives over tho market made the discovery and informed one of the employees In the market, who with others investigated and found Smith lying beside his milk can. where he had fallen nearly three hours before. Warden Botsford, who happened along at the time. drove uptown after doc tor and soon returned With Dr. Coudert and later Dr. Andrews came down. The injured man was taken Into the market and cared for and later was removed to his sisters, Mrs. B. H. Nichols, home In North Haven. Dr. Andrews. who accompanied him, re- turned late In the afternoon and stated that when he left him he was still unconscious and 1t was believed that his skull was fractured. A report later in the evening stated that he was dead. MT. Smith Is a young man, un- married and bears one of the best of characters. Willis Turner, who con- ducts the meat market, states that he noticed the milk wagon when 1t stopped in front of the market shortly after o'clock and nothing strange about 1t until nearly an hour later he noticed that the wagon was still in front of the market He sent boy out to put blanket on the horse, as 1t was quite cold, and wondered where the milkman had gone. One or two remarked about the wagon standing there so long, but no one happened to look down in the alleyway to discover the man until the little girl, as before stated, made the discovery. It is supposed that he got out of his wagon and started to cut across the lot to Daniel O'Connell, one of his customers. and in the dark fell down the stairs, which are near the path across the lot.
