WAS NO FOUL PLAY.
The Opinion Of County Detective in
the Carroll Case.

County Detective Leyshon is of the
opinion that Thomas Carroll, of Car
bondale, who was found unconscious at
an early hour last Wednesday morn
ing at the corner of Delaware and Sus-
quehanna streets in Olyphant borough,
his head covered with confused wounds,
his skull fractured at the base of the
brain, and general indications of foul
play being strongly presented in his
condition, was not murdered. but that
he sustained these wounds from fall
ing.
Mr.. Leyshon's opinion is quite gen.
orally shared among the people of Oily
phant, who saw the deceased the night
before he was found in the condition
which resulted in his death. He was
under the influence of liquor and being
unable to take care of himself wandered
around helplessly, and in one of his falls
struck heavily on his head against u
stone post or the the curbing.
There was no provocation for an as
sault. He was inoffensive and peace
able. and there was no motive for rob-
berry, as he had no money in his pockets,
except Il few cents.
