Oliver Crosby, young negro who
lived IN the upper part of the city, was
burned to death Saturday night in O
rather mysterious manner. His BODY
was found Sunday afternoon living be-.
fore the fireplace with the clothing
burned from the upper portion OF it.
The circumstances attending his death
were such as to create o reasonable
suspicion Of foul play, and an ina uesi
was accordingly held Monday BY Cor
oner Prqitt. The jury found that the
deceased came to his death f.om burns
due to unknown causes. It is sur
posed that Crosby's clothing caught
IRE while he was in q drunken stuDOY
saturday night, or that his wife, with
whom he was not living on good terms
mad something to do with his death.
