a truth when it says that gov

Foul Play Detectives nnd Coroner
VIII InvestIgateth tho FInd.

While eXcavating for the foundation
Of u building on Avon street yesterday
afternoon the employees of Garden &
Sharpey, contractors. found the coffin
Of a man OF woman and small box, In
which was the skeleton of an infant.
In the collin, which was very we'll pre-
served, was also a skeleton, believed
by some to be that OF a woman and by
others to be man.
The CHASTITY find attracted several
hundred persons to the scene. which Is
In the heart of the section of the city
inhabited by disreputable women. The
skeletons, In their water-sogged en-
easements cas-. ne .s were buried three or four
ieet IN the ground, just back OF the
house three doors from Washington
street, on the eastern side of Avon
street.
The house was last occupied by a
negress named Sue Pitts, who kept
several White girls as boarders. The
Fits woman Is said to have lived there
Tor the past eight or ten years. The
police say that with possibly two ex-
ceptlonS she is the most dIsreputable
OF her class in the city.
POLICE ARE SUSPICIOUS.
AS soon as the grewsome discovery
was reported at Police HEADQUARTERS
Captain Prince detailed Detective West
to work on the case. The police are
inclined to think that the find means
foul play. They say the coffin and box
could not have been buried more than
ten years at the most, and very proba-
bly, not over five years.
DIR. NEWTON VIEWS SKELETON.
Dr. e. ". Newton, CITY Coroner
view the partly uncovered coffin and
had 1t broken so the head of the skele-
ton could be taken out. He thought
the head was that of q man, and said
it was probable that 1t may have been
buried just few years, or it may have
pee, neen there for fifty years. That section
was once a marsh, and the ground is
very soggy now, DR.. Newton thought
the brackish soil would preserve the
collin for any number of years.
It was suggested by some that the
bodies may have been buried there dur
ing me sconrge Of yellow fever (which
devastated Norfolk in 1856. At tina
| time the dead We're buried In many
places which to-day are covered with
streets and houses.
SAY HOUSE WAS HAUNTED.
A policeman who has been on the
Avon street beat for some time saws
he has often heard the superstitious ne
| sroes declare that the house in the
rear of which the skeletons were found
was haunted. This is regarded merely
as the invention OF some of the negroes
| who live in the rear
WILL INVESTIGATE FURTHER.
Coroner Newton gave orders to cover
up the coffin and to-day he will have
both skeletons removed to the City
Mogue, where he will make an investf-
cation. In the meantime the police
and detectives are working on the case.
and the mystery may be explained
away by these searches.

WADE CHEEK ESCAPES FROM
PRINCESS ANNE JAIL.

Monday morning when the jniler at
the Princess Anne county jail went in
TO clean up he left the door open be-
hind him. and Wade Cheek, a prisoner
confined therein, taking advantage of
the opportunity to gain his liberty,
cooly walked out. He made his way to-
wards Virginia Beach. and was seen
drying his clothes in the woods by Au-
guatus Drinkwnter. who telegraphed
the fact 10 the Courthouse. and the an
Drinkwater organized an armed posse,
| and the man hunt was on.
A RUNNING FIRE.
Check evidently got hungry. as he
was seen around the kitchen of one of
the cottages. The posse Immediately
gave chase and started running fire
at the now thoroughly frightened dar-
key, who was making record time
down the board walk. The chase con-
tinued as far as the Atlantic Hotel.
Here the quarry lodged behind some
| buildings and threw his pursuers off
the track. They did not give UP the
pursuit, however, but determined to
| land their man.
HUNGRY AGAIN.
In the afternoon Checks appetite
| again got the better Of him, and he
was seen by one of the posse hiding
near the same Kitchen. The posse was
quickly collected, and 1t was augment,
| ed by a number OF new aspirants for
handwriting honors. They were lit
tie over confident this time. however.
and were not cautious enough in ap-
preaching their man. Nevertheless they
| surrounded him and opened fire from
all sides. Cheek, however, didn't care
10 he cought like rat In q tap, and
summoning all his courage. made a

| Check broke through the ring of
! shooters and made tracks for the
woods. where he successfully concealed
himself. The posse were disguised at
| their failure, but are determined to
capture him, and should he tarry in
that locality much longer, exciting
times are looked for.
