On the morning of December 9th, a
carrier, named Daniel Riordan, in ac-
cordance with prior arrangements, pro-
ceeded to Mount Massey Demesne'
Macroom, for load of stones, and ap-
preaching the rear of the mansion
house, for the purpose of interviewing
the caretaker, an man named Patrick
Buckley, resident of Masseytown, he
discovered the latter PROSTATE at the
bottom of the Moat which leads to
the back entrance. Turning the body
over, he found a deep cash over the
left temple, pool of blood beside the
body, and the face smeared with mud
and blood. Finding the body lifeless,
he appraised the local daily people and
the police. The fatality is surrounded
with much mystery, and many theories
are advanced as to the cause of death,
but most generally received hinging
on the fact that, in the second story
Of the house, about 80 feet from the
pavement, a window which furnishes
light to lavatory, and which was
situated directly over the body of the
deceased, had it's lower sash raised
about II inches, and portion of the
frame appeared to be freshly broken.
The police incline to the idea that
death was the result of fall from
this window.
