| ALEXANDRIA, Va, July I, 1904.
The remains of Ashley Moseley, the car
| inspector who was killed here on the Wash
| ington Southern railroad yesterday, were
| forwarded this morning to Moseley juno
| ton, just below Richmond, the late home of
the deceased, for interment. Dr. William
R. Purvis, city coroner, decided that death
was due to accident and deemed an inquest
| unnecessary.
Moseley was engaged in his duties of
| inspecting cars in the freight yards ad-
| joining this city when he started to cross
| track in front of several cars moving
| down grade rapidly from an impetus given
| them by an engine which had cut loose. The
| cars were moving silently and Moseley was
| not aware of their approach until almost
under the wheels. 1t was then too late to
escape. He was run over and his head
| cut entirely from his body.
The horrible accident was witnessed by
a brakeman named Watkins who reported
the circumstances to Coroner Purvis.
