At the West Thirtieth street station, to

Charles d. Smith, the policeman who
pursued johnson, said that the man did
not utter word from the time tho first

Judging from his appearance, the dead
man was poor. He wore q light coat and

were stunned, and from every appearance
one would judge that no was a meohan-

a small watch chain, pooketbook and a
few pennies.
AT the hospital it was found that SUIT
