MYSTERY SHROUDS
 KILLING OF MEYERS
Brought Hman Hospital By Four Men Who Refuse Give Name-Police Believe Man Was First Assaulted and Then Placed In Street to Be Run
 Over By Auto

1 Knocked down and beaten and then
 left in the middle of the street to be run over by a heavy automobile was
 the fate of J. H. Meyers. a railroad man of Atlanta, Ga. little after 12 o'clock yesterday morning at Avenue F and
 Twenty-first street. Meyers died on reaching the infirmary.
 According to Coroner Charles l.. Spain. it was another case where negn- genee on the part of the infirmary au- thorities in notifying the police aided materially in allowing the companions or Myers to make good their escape The killing was not reported to Coroner Spain until yesterday afternoon and the police were not made cognizant of the place where the killing occurred until about o'clock last night when an Age Herald reporter informed the de- tective department that Myers had been killed at Avenue F and Twenty first street. Detectives Propst and Jones were then detailed on the case.
 As the investigation of the detectives proceeded Coroner Spain, suspicious that perhaps Myers had been killed by other means than being struck by an automobile ordered City Physician Charles Whelan to conduct an autopsy over the remains at the morgue of Warner & Smiley. The autopsy was conducted about 10 o'clock last night in the presence of Detectives Propst and Jones, the attaches of the morgue and a reporter. It revealed the fact that Myers had two broken ribs and a ruptured liver. and that death had been caused by an internal hemhorage. Dr.
 Whelan stated that undoubtedly an au- tomobile had passed over the chest of Myers. but that the deceased must have been lying on the ground when struck
 The killing of Myers is shrouded in mystery. He was brought to the Hill man hospital about 12:15 o'clock yes- terday morning in an unconscious con- dition by four young men in an auto
