Track at Fairmont Murdered and
Robbed-Sensati0n Article aTaken
From the Pairmont Times in Rela-
tion to the Case.
FAIRMoNT, Dec. THE Evening
Times has the following:
From the beginning the Times
has claimed that w. c. Hornish who
was hit by car on the local line
one night last week, had met with
foul pay before he got on the track.
This belief was further strength
ened by letter received by Sam
Knight, friend of the dead man
from r. E. Meyer of Tower City, Pa.
After his death, the body of Hor-
nish was taken to the undertaking
establishment of r. L. Cunningham
where it was examined by DR.. Jesse
Jamison. DR.. Jamison was unable
to find any signs of foul play as
was DIR. Durrett who made an ex-
animation just at the time of his
death. Neither physician opened
the body at any place and as death
had resulted just few hours before
there were no marks other than what
was made by the wheels of the car.
The day following the body was Ia
ken to Hornish's old home at Tower
City where another examination
was made by physicians. The re-
suit of this is given in the letter to
Mr.. Knight that is given below.
"Have just returned from post
norton examination over William g
body. Had his skull bone scraped
and had him opened into his inten-
tines. He carries suspicious mark
on the back of his neck, therefore
we DR.. ..E. F. Philips, DIR. Smith of
Lykens and myself say that he was
sandbagged, robbed and laid on the
track to avoid suspicion Respect
fully yours,
r. E. MoYER.
The details of Hornish's death are
fresh in the minds Of our readers
who remember that he had consid-
cradle money in his pockets. He
was seen not ten minutes before the
car hit him and was perfectly so
Der. He left his boarding house at
Watson and was coming to Fair
mont after one of his friends who
was drunk. When picked up from
in front of the car the money was
gone as we'll as were several other
articles of value that he was known
to possess.
Mr.. Meyer the writer of the let
ter is secretary of the j. 0. u. A. M
lodge of Tower City and was the
gentleman who came here after Hor-
nish's remains.
