Identity Of Young Woman.
PROBING STUDENTS DEATH.
Important Disclosures at Secret Inquest
at Mt. Vernon, Ohio,

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio, November 81
Paul Barber, a Zeta Alpha freshman, has,
according to Prosecuting Attorney Stillwell,
given the most important testimony SO far
secured In the secret inquest into the death
of young Stuart Peirson, the Kenyon Col
lege student, who was killed by an engine
on the railroad track at Gambler last Sat-
urday night.
Barber. 1t Is said. testified that he lay
bound and blindfolded upon the track, not
200 yards from the spot where Pierson was
mangled to death. waiting for his two
initiators, who he says, were Jacob Ewalt
and ]. B. Park. This, Barber declared oc-
CURED about an hour before Persons life
was crushed out.
Prosecutor Stillwell today, that 1t is a
custom at the college to tie candidates to
the tracks in the initiation ceremonies. We
have positive evidence from BARRIERS lips
and otherwise that he was SO tied. We
know that a special train for the removal
of the body was ordered before the under
taker was sent for. We know Of the activ-
ity before daylight that morning to remove
every trace of blood and clothing.
president PIERCE will be called to explain
these things in connection with his state
ment that he knows young Pierson was
not tied. We are near to solution of the
mystery, If mystery 1t is.
Today's testimony in the Pierson inquest
developed the fact that the boy was lying
PROSTATE on the track when the engine
struck him, also that he may have been
tied to the track by another initiating
party which was out and had bound their
victim to the rails.
The identity of this party Is now being
inquired into. The witnesses examined were
President Pierce of Kenyon College. Henry
Beama, student, and W. II. Stump, round
house empioye, who cleaned the engine
after It's arrival at Mount Vernon. The
previous evidence that 1t was the custom
OF the fraternity men to tie candidates to
the tracks was corroborated in today's tes-
timony.
President Pierce's examination lasted over
two hours and was severe lie declared
that his reason for ordering SPECIAL train
for the removal of the body even before the
undertaken was summoned was purely the
wishes of his father. He said he raw the
marks on the body described as r1p. marks.
but believed them to be only part Of the
injuries inflicted by the locomotive

brought out in the examination, was COM
