were removed by the score. Some
iron gates were even torn from their
hinges and thrown into hollows, un-

and thrown under houses. Settees
and. chairs from front porches were
exchanged, and even trees were torn
down. A small tree measuring six

BILLY FAUNTLEROY, COLORED,
FOUND BY l. c. TRACK.
Not Known How Accident Happened
But He Was Run Over BY an
Engine.

With his right leg crushed OF be-
tween knee and ankle. and apparently

years old, was found this morning at
3:45 o'clock lying on the Illinois

neer Fred West, which was working
last night in the boat yards. Dozens
of runs on the incline are made
nightly and Faurtleroy may have
been run down early in the night.

He was unable to speak and did not
regain consciousness at daylight
Physicians were afraid to operate on
account of his condition.
The unfortunate man has a sister
residing on South Eighth street be-
tween Adams and Jackson streets
and had been doing odd jobs as por-
ter about downtown stores. He had
been in the county poor house for

had never been able during the past
two years TO do hard work. His case
is being investigated. The engine
crew did not see him or know any
thing of the accident until the body
was found.

THAWs TRIAL.
Prosecutions End VIII be Short. About
Five Witnesses Being Called.

New York. Jan. 5.-According to
an announcement made today It is
practically settled in the district at
torney's office lust what will be done
by the prosecution in presenting its
case against Harry K Thaw for the
murder of Stanford White on the
Madison Square roof garden.
From the prosecutions standpoint
the trial will be short one. About
five witnesses will be examined in
presenting the direct cause. These
witnesses will tell of the shooting and
the events that happened on the Madi-
son Square roof garden. 1t should
not take more than few hours, 1t is
said, for the prosecution to put in it's
entire direct case. 1t will be a sim
pie story of the killing, showing that
White was shot at a table while
watching the performance. without
ANY chance of defending himself. The
' idea is to have the defense explain
the killing. There have been many
stories printed giving conjectures as
to what the defense will be but Thaw's
counsel have made no statement re-
gardlng this point.
Unless there is a change In the pres
cnt plans the crucial part of the trial
will come In the rebuttaL For that
preparations have been made by the
district attorneys office. Asst. Dist.
Atty, Caravan who has had charge of
the Thaw case, has left nothing I'M
done to run down every story and ru-
NOR, no matter how improbable IL
appeared on its face. As result there
has been accumulation OF evidence
which may surprise the defense. Dist.
Atty. Jerome will have charge of the
trial assisted by Mr.. Caravan.
