Railroad.

As an extra freight train was passing over
Gunpowder bridge, on the Philadelphia, VIII
mington and Baltimore Railroad, Saturday
night. u colorrd man wss thrown from the
train by two tramps, his head and left hiE
striking the bridge, killing him. The victim
laid in the same position until a train coming
south ran over his left foot, cutting it almost
off. 1t is supposed that the corpse fell through
the bridge into the water after the south
bound train ran over him. His corduroy cap
and one shoe, cut almost in half, were found
by tramp and left at the drawhouse on the
bridge. The body was recovered by l.. F..
Bowman, telegraph operator at Magnolia.
The corpse was towed ashore and an inquest
was held.
The verdict was rendered that the colored
man, unknown to the jury, came to his death
by falling from freight train on Gunpowder
bridge on the night of August 10, attaching
no blame to the railroad company. The jury
did not know that the man had been thrown
from the train. Nothing was on the body to
identify the man, only a small book, with the
name of Richard Fletcher on the back. The
corpse WAS DuFlcu AT the CApeI VI IldllOlu
county. The victim was about five feet ten
inches in height, round built and no beard.
lie had prominent wart ON the little finger
of his left hand and looked to be about %
or % years of age.
1t is reported that there is a gang of tramps
on the road between Baltimore and ElktOn
who are on the lookout for any respectable
looking man who may board freight train
looking for work, and rob him Of whatever
valuables he may have. After robbing the
victim they compel him to get into II corner of
the car and there remain until Elkton is reach
ed, when they make their escape. Only the
other evening two desperate looking tramps
were taken from Il freight train at Elkton and
placed in Jail.
James Bell, colored, of 2l3 Rogers avenue,
Baltimore, has made statement to the Del
aware authorities that man was murdered
by Il gang Of tramps in a freight car, near
river, on Saturday night, and his
body thrown from the car. The story is
by the finding of mans body
On Sunday on the tracks of the railroad, near
iunpowdcr river.
