UNKNOWN MAN MANCLED UNDER
 TRAINS WHEELS
Conductor Finds Victim of Railroad-Death Instan-
 taneous, Finds Garlick.

Mangled beneath the wheels of a passing freight train, the body of an unknown man was found shortly be- fore midnight last night on the rail- road tracks at the foot of Bank street. Medical Examiner S. M. Gar1ick held his autopsy today and said that death was instantaneous.
 It was believed that the man fell from a freight train, but two tickets found in his pocket tend to dfsprove this. One of the tickets was pur- chased in Hartford and was from Hartford to New York, while the oth- CT purchased in this city was from Bridgeport to New Haven. Both were stamped June 1, indicating that they had been purchased yester- day.
 The man, evidently about 35 years of age and six feet tal1s wore a, pair of blue overal1s and jumper and it was at first believed that he was a railroad man. He wore only one sock, that on his right foot and he also wore two undershirts.
 In one of his pockets was found $2.01 but aside f-om the tatooed in- itials "R. s. on the right forearm there were no marks of identifica- tion.
 The body was discovered by Con- ductor Carlt of passing freight train and he signal1ed the engineer to stop. The body was on track No. 2, an east bound freight track. Yard master Lou Bristol was rotified and after it, was ascertained that the man was dead, the body was removed to Cul1inan & Mullins morgue, where it awaits a claimant.
