STABBED TO DEATH.
Thomas Ryer Murdered in POwnal
"Dug-Way,"

With five stab wounds in the chest
and abdomen, a long knife slash across
one leg, the body of Thomas Ryey, a
homeless farmland, was found last
Thursday afternoon about 4 o'clock in
the town of Pownal, by an Italian who
twas alb work ON the electric railroad.
The body was in wild locality known
as the dug a narrow gorge,
through which runs the highway be-
tween Pownal and North Adams, Mass.
Ii lay about 100 feet back from the
road. There is no question that the
man was murdered, in view Of the
wounds on the body. Not scrap of
paper was found on the body, but evil
dence of this nature was unnecessary
TO identify the man, as Ryer was known
to several persons in Pownal, for whom
he had worked at different times.
Constantine Bulloni, the Italian who
discovered the body, reported to the
authorities, who at once took charge Of
the case. DR.. E.E. Potter, first select
man, said the man had apparently been
dead week or more. Decomposition
had not begun, as the weather has been
cool and the locality not exposed TO the
sun.
Ryer, about two weeks ago, left the
employ of William Cummings of Che
shire, Mass, for whom he had worked
as a driver. He was given the wages
due him, and was not seen again until
the body was found.
1t is believed that Ryer may have
fallen i'll with party of Italians from
among the 800 or more now employed
on the electric line, and that he was
either stabbed to death in a quarrel, or
for what property of value he carried.
The man must have had a watch, for
the end of leather fob strap was still
hanging from his vest.
A the inquest held by physicians
sent by the attorney general of the
state, it was found that the heart was
cut full of holes, and that the man had
been foully murdered.
