Amasa Hickox. the insane man who
killed William Horricks, Il blind patient
at the poor farm early last Monday
morning, was found in Whitebreast
cheek, about 10 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. He had evidently fallen from a
high bluff. The bluff Is known as
Hanging rock. and Is situated at a point
on the creek about two and a half miles
west of the poor farm.
1t is the general belief that Hlckox
was dead within less than half an hour
after killing Horricks. and death re-
suited from a sudden chill following his
tumble into the ice cold water. The
water was not deep enough to drown
the man.
The discovery Of tho remains was
made by two boys, Rex Colweli and
vint Allen, who had gone to Woods
pasture to look after some stock.
Hiic;h1oxx escaned from the scene OF
the killing dressed only In night
clothes, and barefooted. and barehead-
ed. The feet Of the corpse give EVIL
dence that the man had undergone ter
rible suffering In making his way over
the rocky, snow covered bluGs. Tho
sheriff. deputy. and county conoonor
were present when the remains We're
taken from the water.
