night, were identified yesterday as those
of James Stewart of Bennington, VT
Stewart came from Bennington, Monday,
June 18th, with some horses consigned
to Mr.. Leonard of Newton. He was
to return with horse the following day,
but when he appeared at the car where
the animal was it is alleged he was in
toxicated, and the brakeman would moi
allow HIM to 60. He then. wandered
down the track, it is supposed, and was
struck by a train, and his body was not
found until several days afterward
This bears out the statement made by
Medical Examiner Mead at the time the
remains were found, that the man mus
have been dead several days. The body
was buried at Mt. Feake Sunday, as de
composition had set in. The identified
ton was made by the clothing worn by
the dead man, and which was preserved
by order Of the Medical Examiner
The remains were disinterred anC
brought home, the funeral being helt
Wednesday.
