HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Aug. 26.
Millard F. Pratt, Of catlettsburg, Ky.
and NJ. v. farrell, Of Glen Hayes.
Wayne county, were foully murdered
near Naugatuck last night, and up to
this time no clue has been found OF
the murderers.
The bodies OF Pratt and FARRELL
we're found by the crew Of a freight
train, and IT was at first supposed
that they had been killed bysa train.
When the bodies we're examined how.
ever, It was found that both men had
been shot, and the theory is'that they
had been placed on the railroad track
BY the murderers with the hope Of
hiding thee rime, 1t was found that
tJarrell's body had been perforated six
times by bullets, and two balls had
passed through the body Of Pratt.
AS soon as 1t was learned that the
two men had ben murdered. the Off;
GERS at Williamson began an. inves.
|!tlgation. 1t was learned that the two
men had been, employed. in Lincoln
county on a timber job, and \ is Dg;

murder. .s 81

Every effort ofthe officers has failed
to lead to any clue to the murderers,
but a thorough Investigation Is to be
continued. Both men are prominent

There is no question in the minds

we're murdered for the purpose Of rob

MANCHESTER, N. Y, Aug, 26.-
With a mass OF shattered wood and
glass metal the bottom Of the en-
bankment to-day is the scene of the
most disastrous wreck ever on the
Lehlgh valley railroad. Temporary
morgue is being used in shortsvlIIe,
where the bodies OF twenty-five vic
Tins with four others dead at Roches-
ter, the railroad officials place tho
number OF dead at thirty.three ut
noon and 1t feared the total will reach
forty.
In the big steel Pullmans there
were no deaths but only in the flimsy
day coaches.
1t is practically certain that the
cause Of the wreck was due to blow
hole in big steel rail. tho pounding
Of the heavy engine is thought to
have spread the rail, although It had
-
been used twenty months.
Two passengers died during the
night are unidentified, a woman, aged
about forty, wearing a wedding, ring
marked "E. r, II. to L, r, w" and
william P. RundIe. postal clerk of
Easton. Pa The spot where the acci.
dent occurred Is the worst on tho road.

CHESTERFIELD CsosUaR II
HOUSE, Va, Aug. 26-It become
known here today that Henry
Clay Beattie's lawyers had re
celved a letter from ]. S. Minor
a contractor Of Louisville, KY,
who says that two men, whom
he can perhaps produce, told him
that they say man on the Mid
lothian turnpike on the night Of
July 1S when they saw a man
with a gun accost an automobile.
Such testimony would tend to
support Beattle's story of the
the beareded highwayman, but
from what could be learned here
today the defense places little
faith in the story. They de-
clined to give out MI. Mlnor
letter, which does not disclose
the names of the men who say
they witnessed the incidents
preceding the1treagedy.
