THE PApPERT CASE.


Deputy Coroner Thomas T.. Manlcy and a
jury last night held an inquest in the case Of
John Pappcrt, the young man who was killed
by a train on the Phi adclphia and Reading
railroad on Saturday night.
Rumors gained circulation that there was
evidence Of foul play in the case and that
one Of the trains crew was ready to swear
that when he pulled the body of the victim
from beneath the train was cold and rigid
No such evidence was developed at the in
quest. But, although the trainmen expressed
the conviction that the deceased was killed
by the train, the jury decided to withhold
its verdict until this evening to give time for
any new developments before finally dis
posing of the case. Nothing new is ex-
pected, however.
The witnesses examined at the inquest
were Samuel Bailey, of Frackville, engineer;
George Wagonseller, Frtckville, fireman
Daniel r. Helper, Track Vile, brakeman
Heber Conner, Mahauoy Place, brakeman
Joseph Dewey, Mahanoy Plane, brakeman,
and Thomas Thompson, Preston Junction,
conductor.
The engineer testified that his engine, No.
533, was pushing a trip of about fifteen
empty coal cars between the Pennsylvania
railroad trCstic and the crossing at the Shen-
audOah City collicry ut a speed of from five
to six miles an hour when he received a
signal to stop and he did so. He said he was
blowing his whistle for the crossing when he
received the signal.
The tiremen and brakemen confirmed the
statement of the engineer as to the speed of
the train, the blowing of the whistle and the
signal to stop and Heber Conner said he
found the remains with the head lying ON
the east rail and the body was lying outside
the track. He said he was in the act of
stopping to pull the body away when the car
hit him on the shoulder and knocked him
away. Some Young men were in the vicinity
and witness called one Of them, who promptly
identified the victim and gave his name and
address.
Conductor Thompson said the accident &C.
CURED at 1905 o'clock and after Pappcrt was
killed witness noticed some young men lying
ut the side of the track near the fence.
Witness kicked one of them several times to
arouse him and get some information, hut
failed. The young man witness tried to
arouse was in his shirt sleeves and had been
observed by witness during the evening serv-
ing beer from a keg at the place. The wit.
ness said he pulled the victim from the track
The head was lying on the rail and four
wheels had passed over it.
