The finding of the body of Michael

crushed and head badly battered, led the

Monday to believe that murder had been

Investigation by reporters points

feeble old man was kicked to death by
his horse. The body was found upon the
floor of the barn back of the house on
Sudbury road, where Kennedy had lived.
The horse was found roaming in pas

The wounds on the mans head could
have been caused either by the iron-shod
hoofs of the horse or by some blunt in

horse had evidently wandered out of the
