KILLED AT TOWNSEND

It is needless to state that this tow
was greatly shocked and for many hour
disturbed, when it became known tha
early on Sunday morning last, the bod!
Of Thomas J. Dorman, had been founc
horribly mangled on the railroad track
near the station here. Dorman wa
evidently struck and hurled for so :eet
along the track by the Norfolk express
due here about 8 O'Clock in the morning,
It was daybreak when Mr.. John NayloI
who has duties to perform around the
station, had his attention attracted by a
strange looking object lying inside of the
main track, and it was just s or 10 feet
from the Main street crossing
here On making an investigation
he found the object to be the nude and
headless body OF man, there being no
clothes on the remains. Mr.. Naylor
rushed to the home Of track foreman,
James C. Wilson, and they together were
soon going to the ghastly spot. A
further investigation showed the in
IDENTIFY of the nan to be Thomas j.
Dorman, there being several letters on
his person to corroborate this as to who
the unfortunate man was, his clothes
scattered all along tie track, being also
sufficient evidence by which to indentlfy
him. Mr.. Wilson soon had his force OF
tracllman engaged in removing the re-
mains from the inside Of The rails, and
soon afterward the body was removed to
the freight house to await the arrival of
the coroner. The body had several huge
gashes on it, and otherwise greatly
mutilated seeming to fall to pieces when
ever slightly moved. On Sunday Mr..
Enos, the Odessa undertaken, had charge
Of the remains. In the meanwhile Mr..
w. P. Wilson received telegram with
instructions from the Coroner to select
jury and have its members view the
BODY, and meet him on arrival Of
first train from Wilmington, the body be-
ing sent to Harrington on the same train
for burial at that place. The following
Jury was secured NIessrs. W. A. Scott,
J. S. Lattonlus, ]. Rittenhouse, w. J.
Daniels, T. S. Wells and Z. S. Fitzgerald.
Mr.. Scott was selected as foreman, and

hearing considerable testimony the jury
rendered this verdict: Resolved, that
