MURDER NEAR
WEST CHESTER

West Chester, June II.-About
I o'clock vest erday morning the
authorities were apprised ofa new
murder. As tw, men we're walk
ing on the tracks of the Philadel-
phia and Baltimore Railroad near
Avondale they discovered the body
OF colored man lying across the
track, with his head on one rail
and his feet on another. Upon
their making a close examination
a deep cut was found over one Of
his eyes, another at the base of the
brain and the skull was badly
fractured. These wonds. and one OF
which would have been lataI, shown
that they had been made by a dali,
heavy weapon, but nothing of the
kind was found.
The theory is that the mn was
murdered and his body placed
upon the railroad track for the
alter midnight train to mangle and
thereby create false impression as
to the cause of death, but this plan
failed through the finding before
the train was due at that point.
The body was identified as that
OF Alfred Green, laborer, residing
in Chatham, few miles distant.
He was about 3S years of age.
The District Attorney and Coroner
will at once institute an inve jtiga-
ton. Three tramps have been
arrested.
