Patrick Barnett must have had a wheel

and his Patagonia Park estate. at Manor

Any way. he left such a will. drawn
up on legal-loOkng blue paper. with an
English stamp affixed. and signed by Fer
dinand Fitzgerald and Alex. Washington.

The will was made in 1851 in Boston.

and after time the matter passed out

mythical document. and the whole
affair as a hoax, but the reason for its
Preparation remained a mystery, and
for that matter. remains so still.
The mother conducted her correspond

himself the Rev. Herbert Thomas Fitz-

be another man with wheel In his
head for he said some Of the dead mans
effects were missing. and he treatened

The will is undoubtedly a hoax, for

The Rev. Mr.. Fitzgerald thinks that

RAN AGAINST THE DRAY POLE.
This Probably Caused Towards Death
Three Arrests, However. for Murder.

Three Arrests, However, fer Murder.
Robert Howard, a negro. who was re-
leased from the city jail Tuesday. died at
his home. No. 723 east Cary street, yester-
day afternoon at ! o'clock under rather
suspicious circumstances and John Jeffer-
son, Matthew Ellyson. and Raney Jeffer-
son (all colored) were arrested and lodged
i'm the Second Station last night on the
charge Of unlawfully and felOniOusly
beating. stamping. and killing him.
~ appears that Howard was sent 20 Jail
some months since for fighting. and RAJ
ncy jefferson was one Of the witnesses
who swore against him. Howard declared
vengeance against Kaney FOR 50 swearing
and Immediately upon being released from
prison he started 10 put his threat into
execution. The two Jcffersons had just
LEFT the Second African Baptist church in
company with Ellyson Tuesday night
when they were met by Howard on the
corner Of Second and BYRD streets. He
had something 10 say to the younger JET
ferson. when Ellyson interposed. and was
replied TO by blow which partially
stunned him. Howard, after delivering
this blow. started 10 run, and was pur-
sued by the crowd lie turned into
dark alley, ana ran lNlo uTdE WHl'n
was standing there, and the suppostion
is that the blow received from the col
lson with this vehicle is what caused
death.
The three prisoners emphatically deny
having struck Howard, giving as their
reason for not doing SO the fact that
when they overlook him he was on the
ground moaning from his collision with
the dray.
The injured man was taken 10 his nome
by some of the bystanders. and Or. Hen
son was called IN. His symptoms showed
internal injury. and he suffered great
pain until death.
DR. TAYLOR viewed the remains. and
decided 10 hold an inquest this morning
at 10 o'clock. He will also make an
autopsy Of the body to-day.
Ellyson Is driver for Or. Trevillian'
and was released in the sum OF $500 bail
