lstment They were both sentenced to be

railroad train near the Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. bridge on the Pennsylvania railroad
yesterday morning about S:15 o'clock. Pa
pers found on the body show that the mans
name was Andrew Johnson, and that he
was from Niagara Falls. The circumstances
attending the death were such that the
police and coroner were convinced that
johnson committed suicide. Several per-
sons saw him walking along the railroad
tracks going in the direction of Baltimore.
He had wooden leg and used short
clutches. Because of his deformity he was
unable to walk fast. His condition excited
sympathy but no one seems to have Offer
ed to assist him. After he had made the
perilous trip through the tunnel without
being harmed he was advised that he was
In danger of being killed If he persisted in
walking the ties.

fore and he seemed perfectly at home. lie
showed no evidence of fear. The third sec
ton of New York express came in sight
and the legleSs man was again told to be
careful At that time, however, he was In
a safe position. He stepped from where
he had been walking to the track upon
which the fast train was moving. Just be-
fore the train reached him he threw his
crutches to one side and then awaited the
arrival of the train as If he were welcoming
death. He threw himself upon the tracks
and was struck by the engine. Engineer
George Morgan brought the train to a stop
as quickly as possible and the lifeless body
was taken from under the train.
Policeman Cullinane took charge of the
remains and had them removed TO the
