william Beatty, the vitrioi victim at Park
ersburg, Dying.


William A. Beatty, the victim OF the
wrath Of Mrs. Edna Kitchens, who
threw vitriol on him, is sinking rapidly.
His physicians have given him up, and
his death seems to be but a question of
a few hours. He is unconscious and
takes no nourishment. The death of
the unfortunate man will be the eli
max of a crime, which, taking into con-
sideration the Developments since the
yitriol assault, is one of the strangest
eyer recorded.
The story of the crime is so well
known that but brief recapitulation
is necessary. On Saturday evening,
July 8, MIR Beatty, while going to bed,
was attacked by the Kitchens woman.
She threw vtrol over him, which
struck him on the breast, abdomen and
legs, She did not leave town for day
or two, and for some reason was not ar
rested She has been at large since. -

A BLOODY CLUB.

1t has been learned that Saturday
he paid considera BILE attention. He
left there about 1880. Evidences of
q struggle in field near where he was
found, have been discovered, and very
near where he was lying club covered
with blood stains was found yesterday.
1t is claimed that two or three men
were very jealous OF Trabue, for some
reason.
Squire Mckinney, who lives very
near where the supposed assault was
made, was awakened about that time
of night by the vicious barking of a
dog. He went to the window and
yelled al the dog, and then saw a man
run from the spot where Ira bue was
found by the track.
Yesterday Trabue was questioned a
little by the physicians, and he said he
knew of no train hitting him. When
asked if any body struck him, he an
swered yes.
He was too weak and urcollectcd to
be questioned further.
From these circumstances it is be-
leved that Ira bue was assaulted with
murderous intent, and full investiga-
tion is being made.
Trabue comes from an eminently
respecta BILE family. His home is the
famous county of Todd. His mother,
Mrs. Trabue, who arrived Tuesday, is
lady of refinement and cultivation.

THAT wlLLIAMsrowN HORROR
Looks Much Like an Outrageous Attempt
at Murder.

PARKERsBURG, July 81. 2l.-Circumstan-
ces are being developed which lead to
the belief that james Trabue, the un-
fortunate man lying so badly injured
at the Light House, is the victim OF a
cowardly attempt at murder.
The authorities are now of the opin-
ion that instead Of being struck by u
train accidentally, he was brutally as
saulted by two or more men, and then
placed on the railroad track, SO that a
train could complete the work, and
cover up the traces of any assault.
Trabue, a very worthy and respect
able young man, was found at WI
liamstown early Saturday morning,
lying in semi-couscious condition.
He was suffering from ten wounds on
the head and badly mashed hand,
and fractured forearm. 1t was nGtur-
ally supposed he was struck by train.
When he was thoroughly examined it
was found that he had ten severe scalp
wounds, causing some severe concus-
sions, but not fracluring the skull.
1t is held that it would be impossible
for a train to iniure "a man so. This
aroused the suspicion that there was
something behind this accident, of
criminal nature.
The result of the investigation so
far, is that it is reasonably certain,
that Trabue was waylaid by two or
more men Saturday, severely beaten
with club, and then placed Oh the
railroad track where he was later
struck by train, which mashed off
part of his hand.
