swallowing the poison, while his aged
father, William Robb. his brother.
Ernest Robh. and several Of their
fellow boarders, at GA North Seventh
street. looked on. unable to aid the
stricken man.
His act was obviously the result OF
brief reflection. for when he return

ing the afternoon and early part OF
the evening with several companions.
he was apparently In a happy frame
OF mind and free from all care.
His father and brother. both Of
whom are carpenters. were sitting on
benches In the front yard OF the
boarding house with Mrs Hall and a
number of boarders in the house.
Young Rohb took a seat and for a
time participated In the gay CONVEX
satson with which the company was
ending the day OF pleasure,
After short time the young man
leaned forward, placed his face be
tween his hands and sat for several
minutes in deep thought. Then he
arose and disappeared down the
street. lie did not announce his des-
tination, but Il was learned later
that he went TO a nearby drugstore.

went to his ROOM He appeared again
and stood behind his father. talking
now and then with his hand resting
on the elder mans shoulder. That
touch, apparently unconscious, was
the young. mans farewell to- his
father.
In tho darkness Rohb was not seen
when he placed n bottle containing
carho,.c acid to his Ups and swat

bottle on the grass and walked up
the steps 10 the porch. Al that mo-
ment Nis father exclaimed. II smell

wheels. His body was dragged for
thirty yards along the track toward
Grace street and was horribly man

in two.
There are two theories regarding
the tragedy. One Is that LJ.ek tried
to board the train to ride down to
Monroe Park, two blocks distant. for
the purpose Of feastfhg on a basket
OF hard shell crabs which be carried
in hts hand. The other Is that he
stumbled and feu under the train.
The latter theory is partially sub
Stimulated by statement by Patrol
man Tom Walton, who told Coroner
Taylor that Luck was evidently
drinking when he passed through the
crowd at the station just before the
train pulled out. Luck At that tim
mad his hands on the shoulders of q
man whom Walton did not know and

The other man also appeared to be
