A dispatch from Coatesville, Ind.
says: John w. Norton, Of ST. Louis,
died in the little church to which he
was taken after being extricGted from
the ill-fated sleeper Gilead. The whole
of the back Of his skull was crushed
and he was unconscious until death.
One incident happened illustrating the
inhumanity of man to man. A physi-
clan Of Greencastle was soon on the
scene and was being importuned by the
townspeople to aid and if possible save
the life Of John w. Norton, who to
them was an entire stranger. Before
he would condescend to aid the poor
man in his struggle for life he coolly
demanded S25 in advance Of the exami-
nation.
Tuesday afternoon Norton's remains
were7 placed aboard train Nc.
q west bound. They we're met at
Greencastls by Charlas W. Pope, Of
manager Of Pope's theatre, who ac-
companied the remains to St. Louis,
where it will be taken in charge by
friends. All the valuables on his body
we're accounted for except diamond
ring, valued at 81 900, which was taken
from his finger by some inhuman
monster.
