 Up to this time the death of William N. Parks of Covington, Tenn, who was found here a few nights ago in an unconscious condition with a hole in the back of his skull and who died later, is still a mystery. A number of witnesses have been examined by the coroners inquest but so far as known nothing has developed The ex- aminations have been secret, but no arrests have been made, indicating that nothing of an discriminating nature has been brought out before the in- quest.
