The Aged Man Who Fell From
Trestle Died In City Hospital
Last Night.
LIVED IN INDIANA

]. w. Robbins, the stranger who
fell from the Illinois Central trestle
or was assaulted Thursday night, died
ct the city hospital last night about
1890 O'Clock, never having regained
consciousness. His identity was not
known until late yesterday afternoon
when the police found letters on his
person giving his name anc residence.
Robbins had been in Paducah only
since Thursday and intended meeting
relatives here. The cause of his death
will probably always remain Q mys.
terry, as no one saw him fall from the
trestle and II he was assaulted. the
persons committing the assault had
other intentions than robbery. as 81. 80
was found on him when the police
carried him to the city hospital. 1t
10 reasonably certain, however, that
he fell.
Mr.. S. Gerard, of Madison, Ind, a
son-in-law of the deceased, arrived
yesterday with his wife, to meet Rob-
bins. and from Paducah the three in
tended going to the St. Louis Fair.
Robbins lived at Hanover. Ind, and
came here on visit to Mr.. Mack
English. of Mechaniscburg. and was
to have met his daughter and son-in-
law here yesterday ct Mr.. Engiish's
homo. Thursday night Robbins went
to church with Mr.. English and wife
and after reaching home decided he
would come to town and stay. He
informed English that he would re-
turn Friday night and in case his
daughter arrived to tell her to wait
for him.
This was the last heard of Robbins
until this morning when the son.-in-
law came into Nance's undertaking
shop and identified the dead man o.
his father-in-law.
Mr.. Gerard arrived with his wife
yesterday and not finding Robbins at
the English house started on a futile
search. All this time Robbins lay
unconscious at the city hospital,
where his daughter might have been
in his last hours, had she only known.
Chief of Police Collins found . let
ter in Robbins pocket arranging the
meeting at the English house and
went there, finding the son.in-law
and his wife. He took them to Nance o
shop and they readily recognized the
body.

how the man met death, some think
