NAY HAVE BEEN MURDER.
A Letter Which PretendS to Throw
Light On a Recent Event.
Mrs. Doyle Writes a Letter Detail
ing a Conversation She Had with
Polish Woman Concerning the
Killing Of William Nixon, Near
the Hobbs Glass Works, Several
Months Ago.

The killing of William Nixon, son of
Mr.. Frank Nixon, of the South Side, on
a Sunday morning some four months
ago, is still fresh in the minds of the
readers of the Register. When NiXon's
mangled body was found lying on the
B. and O. tracks in the rear of the
power plant of the Wheeling Electrical
Company. an unusual amount OF curios-
ity was aroused as to how the dead man
got TO that vicinity.
For the past few days wild rumors
were atlOat that Nixon came TO his
death by means OF foul play, as on the
night OF this accident several shots were
heard in the immediate vicinity of
Battle Row" which name has been re-
Gently changed TO Electric Row." in
the alley opposite the Wheeling Elec-
trical Companies plant.
Mr.. Nixon father of the deceased has
been working on the case ever since
The accident occurred. Young Nixon
was seen in the apartments of Bud"
Long, a junk dealer, who resides in
Electrical Row, as the following letter,
written by Mrs Doyle, who had con-
versation with Mrs. Mickels, a Polish
woman of that vicinity, will explain:
Wheeling, w. Va,
July goth, 1896.
Mrs. Mikels told me that them peo-
pie keep a bad house a way late IN the
night. she was looking out of her win
dow and bud long was careing bier for
bill Nixon she said it was bad hous and
it was la,e N the night when she seen
three women take him out and put him
on the railroad said Mrs. Mikels if Mr..
Nixon knew that he would use the law
and she said if they take me up town
would tell them could not talk ameri-
can talk"
The above letter, which is a fac SIM
lie in language of that written by Mrs.
Doyle, is in the hands of County Cor
oner ]. w Schultze. Mr.. Nixon has
left no stone unturned to ferret out the
real cause OF his sons death, and will
endeavor TO get TO the bottom of the
mystery.
