Body Found by
Engineer of
Paper Train.
vICTIM,V. SIPOS

Veri Sipos, about thirty-three
years old, of II Cortlandt street,
this city. was instantly killed by an
eastbound train on the Central rail-
road, lust north of the Woodbridge
creek bridge, between midnight and
o'clock this morning. The body
was discovered lying between the
tracks by the engineer of train No.
B01, which arrives here at 5.15
o'clock every morning with papers.
Coroner Ferd Garretson was no.
titled shortly after o'clock. After
viewing the body, the coroner had 1t
removed to his mortuary establish
ment in High street.
The coroner says that Sipos must
have been walking on the eastbound
track, as the engine struck him with
such force that he was thrown fully
seventy-five feet. He evidently
landed on his face, as his head was
crushed and one leg taken off. The
other leg was broken. Sipos was
last seen alive about II o'clock last
night at a Hungarian celebration at
Nickenig's grove, Maurer. AS he
boarded in this city, it is believed
that he may have been intoxicated
and started for home but, in his con-
fused state of mind, walked in the
wrong direction.
The dead man has no relatives in
this country, but has a wife and
three children in the old country. He
had been employed at the Vulcan De-
timing Works at Sewaren for the
past two years, but did not work
yesterday. A man named Lenhart
who was with him yesterday and last
night, is being sought as the coron-
er is anxious to learn whether Sipos
was alone when the train struck
him. No money was found in the
dead mans pockets, the only ar
ticles being number of beer
checks.
Coroner Garretson will communi-
cate with the officials in Jersey City
to ascertain what engine struck the
man. The coroner says that in all
probability the engineer of the train
that struck Sipos did not know Of
the fact.
AS Sipos has no relatives in this
country the body viii be buried in
Pottef's field at the county's ex-
pense. in all probability.
A Woodbridge Death.
Just as Mr.. Garretson was about
to go and view the body of Sipos, he
received a call to come to Wood
bridge and view the body of Lizzie
Stevanczi, nine months old, child
OF Hungarian parentage, who died at
9.30 o'clock last night. The coron-
er, after viewing Sipos's body, went
to Woodbridge and investigated. II
seems that the child, since being
taken Ill with the measles, had not
been attended by a doctor and, al
though the parents sent for one last
night, the child died before he ar
rived. The coroner gave a permit
for burial.

KILLED BY TRAIN WHILE
RE TURNING FROM DANCE
SEVEN DOCTORS SAY
HERON IS INSANE

and that he had always drank to ex-
cess. She said that was what caus-
ed his present condition.
When she had finished testify
ing counsel asked Heron to take the
stand, but he replied, II won't go
on the stand" This was the same
attitude he took at the time he was
tried for the murder When asked
II he did not want to say something
he replied, mo, I'm listening to
YOU"
Judge Cowenhoven endeavored to
put in some letters which Heron
had written, tending to show that
he is insane. When this was pro-
posed Heron said, II object to the
letters being read" His counsel
told him his objections did not count
but the court ruled the letters out
on the ground that there was no
proof that Heron had written them.
For the state, Dalis Fogg, one of
the keepers at the state prison was
called. He said he had often talk
ed to Heron on different topics. Lo-
cal option was one of them. Her
ron, he said, seemed to take a great
deal of interest in the other prison
ers, but seemed Indifferent as to
himself. He was particularly con-
cerned about Paul Herman, another
man accused of murder in Middle
sex county and wished him good
luck when he went away for a new
trial.
Following the keeper, Herman,
who is now in the county Jail here,
was called. He told of his many con-
versations with Henon.
When the testimony was com
pleted Justice Bergen ordered that
the death science be not executed,
but that Harron should be returned
to state prison. He said he wanted
to examine previous testimony in
the case as 1t was new to him. His
action is taken to mean that he be-
lieves Heron insane and that he
will be detained, but If he should
show signs of returned sanity, the
execution would be carried out.
