was foully murdered by race track touts
and that robbery was the motive of the
crime. Developments to-day followed
thick and fast and the police are con-
yineed that Raesde's skull Was crushed
by a blow and the body laid across the
rails To hide all evidence of crime The
coroner declared to-day it was "a plain
ease of murder. The engineer of the
train which ran over Raeside says he
first saw him lying directly across the
rails about % feet from the locomotive.
He reversed his engine and had nearly
stopped when the pilot struck Raeside.
He says that the position Of the body
was such that he could not have fallen

A BOY MURDERS A CHILD
Horrible Crime of a Fifteen
Year-Old Lad.
He IS A DEGENERATE
Tied His Young Victim to Tree Stabbed
With a Knife in Several Places
and Then Crushed in
His Skull

Philadelphia. Jan. 16-The body of >
year-old Percy Lockyar. who is believed
TO have been murdered ON Friday night
by l5-year-old Samuel Henderson, was
to-day found in the bottom of Red
dies" creek, Sixtieth and Catharine
streets, and there seems little doubt in
the minds of the police that young Hen
derson is guilty of the crime He is now
locked up in a cell AT police headquar-
ters. The body of the child, when
found, was weighted by two heavy
stones, one about his neck and the
other around his ankles. His skull was
crushed in and there was a knife thrust
just above the heart and similar
wounds on his breast, side and fore
head, while on one side of his face was
a long cut extending from below the
eye to the chin.
From what the police have been able
to learn, the crime seems to have been
one of the most horrible character and
II all its details are true, il stamps
young Henderson as a. degenerate of the
worst type. He does not seem to real
ize the enorm1ty of his crime. Yester-
day, after his arrest, he admitted a
knowledge of the knife thrust but said
that it was due to the child accidentally
running against an open knife. Hen
derson became alarmed at this and said
he threw the body into the creek To-
ddS, lbNGNtI, NHeil SHOWN the fnuil-
lated body of the child he admitted
that he was responsible for those cuts
as well. but he still persists that II was
an accident.
The police, however, believe that 1t
was a planned murder in which the
guilty one also proposed ending the life
of another small boy. Willie Addison
aged Z years. Henderson, ii is claimed
has been reading trashy novels, and has
shown desire to emulate the hero
of these tales. The police assert that
Henderson accompanied Lockyar and
Addison to the woods, as ne told yester-
day, but instead of any accident hap
pening TO either. Henderson tied both
children to a tree. Addison broke away
and ran home. 1t was then, it is said,
that young Lockyars death was ac-
eomplished.
DIR. Morton. the coroners physician.
VINO explained the thrust above the
heart said that IL caused the death of
the little fellow.
The police searched for the body dur
ing all of last night and il was not
until after daylight this morning that it
was found Henderson will be given
hearing tomorrow morning.
The fact that has come out in con-
nection with Henderson's alleged crime,
is that his father. John d. Henderson,
was on trial before Judge Reedn Octo-
ber. 1892, charged with killing man
named Christopher Nelson The killing
was the outcome of a quarrel. Hen
derson was arraigned and pleaded
guilty to mansaughter. He was re-
manded for sentence, but some time
later ii was shown that the death was
largely accidental and there was no
murderous intent. He was admitted To
bail and is now a free man.
