The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-09-18

John Mccormick about 80 years OF age.
who is it said has made his home in
Worcester. although he has a wife and
child I'm Boston. died last evening just be-
fore o'clock while being taken in the
police ambulance to the Twin City hospi-
tai
half-hour or more previous 10 that
time Mccormick was found lying at the
side OF the railroad track just west OF
the Cottage street bridge which crosses
the main line OF the Consolidated road. IL
appears that the mans was first discover
ed by Frank Quinn. At the time accord
ing to Quinns story Mccormick appear
ed TO be suffering greatly and il seems
probable he had been struck by a train
although no report of an accident OF any
kind had been made TO the office OF the
company in Providence and therefore II
would seem that the engineer did not sec
the man
Quinn had no means OF moving Nc
Cormick and he started after help. He
found william Curtis OF South Attleboro
on Cottage street and the two men sue
ceeded in getting Mccormick into Cur
tis' wagon. Mccormick had asked that he
be taken 10 the home OF John Stafford on
Cottage street and when this house was
reached II was found that Mrs. Stafford
was his sister.
The condition OF the man was such
that IL was deemed advisable To send him
90 the hospital and the ambulance was
sent for. When this arrived at the hospi-
tai on Park place the discovery was
made that the man had died on the way.
Medical Examiner French was sent for
and he found that six or seven ribs had
fra nd In anH A
there was a bad scalp wound
When the police heard OF the affair
there was a investigation because II was
thought there were a few features I'm con-
nection with IL that needed explanation.
In the first place the failure any re-
port TO be made 10 the railroad Offices I'm
Providence was considered singular. Then
IL was rather strange that a minute after
Quinn had TO get Mccormick into the
wagon belonging TO Mr. Curtis he disap-
peared and had not been seen since.
Quinn appears 10 have a happy faculty
OF getting mixed up I'm mysterious affairs.
He was one OF the principal witnesses in
the Crowley murder case which attracted
so much attention in this section Just
about two years ago. Then about a year
ago Quinn was the indirect cause OF the
death OF officer Samuel Slocum. The Of
ficer had tried TO Sit the man under ar
rest for some alleged offence and there
was a long chase. Hardly had the officer
reached his man when he sank down on
the ground and expired because of "A weak
heart. II is not believed that he knows
anything about this accident last night
but when found he will be asked TO more
fully explained the circumstances under
which Mccormick was found
