Horrible Wound on Side of His
Head Indicated Violent
Death. But He Evidently Had
Not Been Killed by That
Train. As He Was Cold When
Found


The body of tramp with his head
crushed in on one side was found
lying by the Illinois Central railroad
tracks half mile north of Green
Vile yesterday afternoon by the crew
of freight train, No. 1872, which was
stopped on account OF a broken axle.
Whether the tramp was killed IN
jumping from the train, or was muf-
dered and left by the track, are ques-
lions bothering railroad and Green
vile authorities.
Freight train No. 1872. north
bound, was in charge of Engineer
Bob McCarty and Conductor Denny
Carroll.
Papers in his pocket indicate the
man to be Ed Netherland, and that
he has relatives in California The
dead man apparently was about 40
years old, and was dressed rather
neatly for a genuine tramp. His
pockets contained no coins. and but
few papers and such articles as are
carried by "hobos" were found on
his person. His head showed hor-
rible wound on one side, and he was
cold when found.
The broken axle caused a thorough
|wrecking of the one freight car. but
the body was found some distance
south Of the derailment. Had the
tramp jumped from the train he
might have been killed in alighting,
but his body would have been VAIN.
The body is being held pending word
from California.
The derailment caused a delay of
two hours to the fast passenger train
No. 101. from Louisville to Memphis.
Little damage was caused by the ac-
cident.
