His Head Crushed While Loading
Heavy Timber.

James Lewis, colored twenty-five years
old whose home is at Gil Gordon Avenue
northwest, is patient at the Casualty
Hospital, suffering from badly battered
head and split ears. His condition is said
to be serious, as it is feared he may have
sustained internal injuries. DR.. Reeves.

though alarming symptoms had not yet
developed, another day might prodce them.
Lewis injuries are the result OF an ac-
cident in the Benning Road, between Fiji
teenth and Sixteenth Street, about o clock
this morning. He was engaged IN loading
heavy timber on Columbia Railway car
when his head was jammed between the
side of the car and heavy girder which
was being handled. He was rendered un-
conscious and as his injuries appeared
serious he was sent at once to the-h hospital
in No. patrol wagon. Lewis ears were
split from top to bottom and his head was
badly crushed.

much different state Of affairs exists

Of the Norris men, who being in control

made known.
The BRYAN men have now arranged

A MYSTERY CLEARED Up
DOLL 8. Petit Slain in South Caro-
lima.
The Young WnshinGtonian Was
ssrucL on the Head with Club
and Died Soon Afterward-his IN
rents Hnd Been Unable to Learn
His Whereabouts for Some Time.

The mystery surrounding the disappear
auce of DOLL S Petit. eighteen years old,
formerly living at $50 X Street southwest,
has been solved by the discovery that he
was murdered by an unknown negro at
Geroth. s. c., on December 16. For over
three months all trace OF him had been
lost. His father, George ". Petit, as
sistant manager Of the Merchants Parcel
.Delivery Company, conducted an almost
continuous search for the boy, but 1t
proved utterly futile, until at last brief
message from Geroth brought word of the
murder.
Mr.. Petit left on Wednesday for the
scene of the crime. y telegram from him
received last night, announced that 1t
would be impossible to bring the boys
body home before fall. No particulars
whatever have been received as to the de-
tails of the crime, and nothing save the
bare fact is known. The negro assailant
is still at liberty.
At the Petit home the mother of the
dead boy told of the events leading up to
the murder.
'Doill was reared in Washington, she
said. "and last year he was occupied In
the freight department of the Southern
Railway On July l.. accompanied by
Washington friend-Arthur Homer-he
started for South Carolina. The two were
assured employment on new railway un-
der construction there. and after brief
delay they went to work.
EARLY in December Homer tired of the
place and came back. Doill however
kept at work until the day of his murder
two weeks later. Letters from him sud
denly ceased to arrive After a month, in
which we heard not word from him, We
began to fear serious trouble, and that
fear was heightened when letters address
ed TO him were returned to us unopened
from Geroth.
MY husband appealed TO the Police De-
partment for assistance, and Major Syl-
yester sent a despatch to the officers at
Geroth. in reply came message saying
that DOLL was not there and his where
abouts were unknown. Then We went TO
Homer in hope of getting some clew. He
wrote to the foreman of the railway con-
struction gang. Ten days ago an answer
was received. 1t brought the awful mems
that DOLL was killed on December 16 by a
negro assailant who struck him over the
head with a heavy club. IIe was attended
by the railway physician. but lived only a
few hours and died without regaining con-
scicusness. That was all we could learn.
Last Wednesday my husband left for
Geroth to locate the boys body. This
message has just been received from him:
Cannot bring remains back until fall viii
leave Geroth for home tonight.
Until his arrival we shall knowenothing
more"
Mr.. Petit is expected in Washington
some time today.

and criminal branches Of the court will
report for duty at 10 a. IN. The Court Of
Appeals. which adjourned from day to day

is not expected that either of the prisoners

stood, has been ready to proceed with
these trials for some time, but they have
been postponed AT the request OF the de-
fence. and on account of the delay IN com
pleting the jury no effort will be made TO

The crime fer which McUin will be put

while the prisoner was in state OF
drunkenness. The only eyewitness TO the
killing of Turner WAS Miss Bertha Crown,
a sixteen year-old girl with whom the de-
ceased was walking at the time he was at
tackled by McUin According to Miss
Crowns testimony before the coroner
Jury she was walking home along Eleventh
Street near East Capitol, on the night of
December % last. when she saw McUin
approach. Turner had announced his in
tention Of parting with the witness, but
refrained from doing so because she said
she was afraid of McUin. When Turner
and Miss Brown reached the latter's
home they noticed that McUin followed
them, and Miss Crown states that with
out a word of warning McUin rushed upon
Turner and after asking him, What are
you doing here" knocked him down. Nc
Tin then bent down over Turner and
struck him several times.
When McCin arose Turner lay mo-
tionless on the ground. Miss Crown
called to the PROSTATE man. but he
made no response. Some people who
gathered at the scene carried Turner
into Miss Crowns house and there ii was
discovered that he had been cut in the
head with knife Turner was removed
to the Emergency Hospital, where he died
the next morning.
At the enquiry conducted by the Coroner
McUin declined to make a statement of
the circumstances connected with the kill
ing Of Turner.
