are trying TO solve the mystery Of the death OF an
unknown man, who found lying unconscious
on a grass plot at Nlnety-nnth-st. and West End
ave Yesterday morning at o'clock by Patrolman
Farrlnston There is every indication that the man
had been souly dealth with for he had bad fract-
IRE at ,he base OF the skull and blood oozed freely
from both OF his ears The man was five feet eight
inches in height. and OF slender build He wore
plain dark suit He had black hair. whiskers ana
mustache and a dark complexion. He was ABOUT
thirty-fve years old. The only thing found IN Ms
pockets was a piece OF well-worn manuscript Ap-
parently It was written in the Portuguese language.
and It is thought to be copy of lecture delivered
by Professor Harman Dvidney. as that is the name
signed to II.
DR. Levald took the unconscious man IN an am
buance to Manhattan Hospital. where every enore
was made to save his life. but without avail. he
died at 23O o'clock in the afternoon. coroner
Physician O'Hanlon, assisted by Drs Lewaid ana
HILL performed the autopsy. and found that ,hs
man came to his death from the effects OF oo"
inflicted with blunt instrument.
The doctors think that he was the victim OK an
assassin who struck the fatal blow IN the nisns
and then escaped. Probably the man. IN oazeo
condition. walked from the spot wnere ne "as
assaulted until from sheer exhaustion, ne fe on
the grass. where he became UNCONSCIOUS. AhotneI
theory ~ that he was assaulted by two or more
