NAVY YARD SEAMAN
KILLED BY TRAIN.
Body Found Alongside Railroad Track
Early Friday Morning.

Leon L. Bosquet, a seaman at the
submarine station at the navy yard,
p years old, was struck and killed by
q train at Treadway's crossing, Groton,
early Friday morning. 1t is not known
which train killed him.
Bosquet's body was discovered by
the crew of an castbound freight train
about $50. The conductor of the train
saw an object which he thought was
a mans body lying beside the west
bound track and reported it to the yard
master at Midway. A light engine was
sent to the spot and the body was
found to be still warm.
Medical Examiner F. W. Hewes of
Groton went to the scene of the acct
dent, where he examined the body. 1t
was found that Bosquet's right arm
was badly smashed and almost COM
pletely severed at the elbow and that
there were numerous abrasions and
Commissions. 1t is thought that death
was caused by internal injuries and a
blow on the head, which was not, how
ever, serious enough to cause fracture
of the skull.
The killing was reported to the Of
flee of Superintendent LitchfieId, but
it could not be learned which train
struck Bosquet. The man was prob
ably struck by a passing train before
daylight, as it was hardly light when
the body was first seen by the crew OF
the eastbound freight.
The place where Bcsquet was killed
Is at the sharp curve in the road, and
many others have met death there. 1t
is quite frequently called dead mans
curve.
The dead mans home was in Cleve-
land, o., according to records at the
subma rine base. Gideon Rabshaw, an
uncle, is the nearest relative and he
was notified of the death Immediately.
instructions from him are being
awaited for disposition of the body.
Bosquet was six feet two inches tall
He was last seen, so far as can be as.
