Moformanfs Efory.
The story told by Pollock, the
motorman, te the police was that
he was running the car westward on
Smith street at the time. AS he was
going down the hill at the old wat
err works pond he saw a mar walk
ing towards Keasbey alongside OF
rails. When Petlock first saw
the man, he says, the latter vas
about fifty feet ahead of him. He
appeared drunk and stumbled, fall
ing against the moving car, the mot
orman said. The trucks of the car
ground the man to a horrible mass
of bleeding and bruised flesh and
bone. 1t left the rails and 1t be-
came necessary to send for Jacks
from the carharn, SO that a portion
could be lifted and the body remov-
ed from under the rear trucks. Pa
trolman Andrew Jensen, who was
on the scene aiding In the work,
sent calls for physicians and later
Coroner James j. Flynn. AS soon
as DIR. Henry had said the man was
dead. the bleeding form was remov7
ed to Coroner Flynn's morgue
where it is now being held.
Carried Small Parcel.
The man had carried q small par
eel. consisting of an under shirt
wrapped in a newspaper, In his
right hip pocket was found a black
jack, which is now in the hands OF
Chief OF Police Burke. From all
appearances the man was not a rob
Der. 1t Is presumed that he simply
carried the weapon for protection,
as 1t ia claimed a number Of Hun
garian, Polish and Slavish me do
who live on the outskirts of the
city.
1t Is believed by sae police and
the cofoner that the man lived 4
Keasbey and was walking home at
the time OF the accident. He was
about 1--WE feet and four inches high,
OF dark complexion and had a heavy
moustache. Patrolman Jensen be-
iieyed be was either a Hungarian
or Pole.
Coroner Is Active,
At first Coroner Flynn thought OF
having the motorman and conductor
of the a appear at his Office today
for a preliminary hearing, but when
he learned further details about the
accident and that the police had ar
rested them, he abandoned the idea.
He feels satisfied that they are IN
the hands OF the county authorities
Thinks He Knows Man.
A Hungarian man of keasbey
visited FIynn's morgue just before
noon and after looking over the
mangied form said 1t was that OF
Charles Urr, a Hungarian friend OF
his who had worked at the pidier-
March plant in Keasbey. The mai
said the victim had boarded With a
Mrs. Tucke FRANKIE in a house on the
Rarftan Clay Company's property in
Keasbey. Efforts are under way 70
confirm this statement and to ascer-
tain the whereabouts of any rela-
tives the dead man may have, so
that they might be notified.
