Both Messrs. Broun and Lewis

We are informed that Engineer
Fitzgerald, who was on the second
engine of the train that passed over
Lockley, and says that he dosen't be-
lieve that the engines passed over the
body of Lockley.
Many theories have been advanced
as to how Jockeys body was put on
the track, if the engines didn't run
over 1t, and we think the most plau
sible are that Lockly was held up on
his feet and pitched between two of
the cars, or that be was thrown from
the top of the cut, near the cattle
stop, with the intention of pitching
him into car or on a bumper, in
order that the may be carried away
from here, but owing TO the motion
of the train the men missed their
aim and the body fell between two
cars.
If the two prisoners are guilty of
the murder of Lockley, the evidence
indicates that they may have acted
In self-defense but there is nothing
to show what justified them in put
ing the body beneath the train. unless
they we're dazed by the fact that they
had killed the man and acted upon
their first thought to hide the crime.
We think the murder was committed
about 45 minutes before the train
came down, and the reason that the
body was not laid and left on the
track by the murderers was due to
the fear that it might be seen bv
parties returning from the dance be-
fore the train would run over it.
