MYSTERY UNSOLVED.
Probing Circumstances Attending
Death of John Sullivan.

Death OF John Sullivan.
The authorities of Prince Georges county
Nd, have not been successful in solving
the mystery surrounding the death of John
Sullivan, timer, Of this city, whose
mangled body was found Sunday night on
the tracks of the electric railroad at Brent
wood. An inquest was held last night at
Hyattsville by Acting Coroner A H. Dab
Ter, for the purpose of determining whether
or not the man was murdered and his body
placed on the tracks, or whether he was
killed by the cars. Several witnesses were
called and, after hearing their statements,
the acting coroner took an adjournment
until Friday morning. in order that the
crews of number of other cars on that
line might be called to testify the pur-
pose being to find out if possible, which
car passed over the place where the body
was found ahead of the crew which discoy-
cred it.
None of the witnesses heard last night
told of anything which would indicate that
Sullivan had been murdered. The noise
which was supposed to have been heard
shortly before the body was found. mem
TONED In The Star yesterday, it has de-
veloped, was occasioned by Constable Rob-
ert Payne and Wallace Raybod in their
arrest of two colored men for engaging in
misconduct.
Two of the witnesses at the inquest were
Lewis ]. Hawkins, motorman, and George
Thomas, conductor, of the car who discov-
cred the body on the track. Hawkins told
the jury that he saw the body on the tracks
and of his efforts to bring the vehicle in
his charge to stop. Thomas explained that
he knew nothing of the matter until the
car had been stopped and was informed by
his motorman that an accident had oc-
Cured. Both men said that they thought
that Sullivan was dead before the car
struck him, but of this they would not be
sure. as neither of them had touched the
body.
John Norton. colored, who was called as
a witness said that he and his wife heard
noise Sunday night and that 1t sounded
as though car had struck an object of
some kind. He said that he paid no at
tention to 1T at first. but when another
car passed and the same noise was re-
peated he started out to make an investi-
cation, reaching the car tracks about the
number OF passengers were alighting from
the car near the body. Norton threw no
additional light on the matter nor did
Abraham Davis; colored man who was
In company with Norton and who was call
ed as witness
From Howard Payne, another witness 1t
was learned that he had seen q man
answering Sullivan's description and that
the latter asked him the way to the street
car station. He said the man was lame
de added that he saw the same man later
walking along the tracks and he believed
the dead man was the person, but would
not be positive.
An autopsy has not yet been performed
on the body, and there was some talk last
night OF having an examination made of
the remains. Attorney G. A NJ Wells an
peared at the inquest in the interest OF
the family and the railroad company was
represented by Attorney j. b. Lackey.
