HAS
STRANGE DEATH
Mans Body Found Beside
Railroad Under What Seem
Suspicious Circumstances

By Special Correspondent.
JAMESBURG. Dec. 26.-Whether
Michael Feeney Of Jamesburg. aged
hfty-hve years OF age. met death at
the hands of some one with intentions
of robbery or whether he was subject
to an attack OF the heart and was lat
or run over BY the crew OF some train
drilling In the yard at upper James
burg, is a puzzle that the authorities
are trying TO solve.
Circumstances point to either opin-
ion, but County Physician John l..
Suydam Of this place. after carefully
weighing the evidence decided that an
inquest was unnecessary and gave a
verdict that the nan vas run over and
killed while on his a home after
possibly celebrating the holiday sea
son.
Mr.. Feeney was found shortly after
one O'Clock Wednesday morning by
members of a freight crew lyins
alongside OF the rails. dead. The rail-
road physician. DIR. IL. ID. Zandt. OF
this place was called and he found tho
left arm broken and the left leg sew
cred below the ankle and many bruis-
es about the body. The fact that there
was hardly any blood at the spot
where the body was found. led him to
believe that foul play had possibly
been the cause OF death and the body
placed on the rails to hide the crime.
There were no marks on the body TO
indicate how the man came to his
death IL he had beer attacked and
killed.
Feeney was originally from Brook
Ign and came here some months ago
and was employed on the section crew
working between his place and Spots
wood. Payday was Tuesday and he
received twenty-six dollars. but none
OF his money was found on his per-
son or in his clothes. He made his
home at the railroad camp" at upper
Jamesburg and little was known of his
life before coming TO this place.

ACCIDENT
IN. SPOTSWOOD
Man Who Ran Down Girl and
Speeded Away Is to Be
Prosecuted

SPOTSWOOD. Dec. 26.-Warrants
have been issued by Justice of the
Peace Phineas NJ. Bovine, charging
Michael Rosnik OF Helmetta. with aid
ing and abetting Michaels Good. also
of Helmetta, who Is charged with
running down and seriously injuring
Miss Mary Shepherd shortly before six
o'clock on Monday night, who lies at
this time painfully injured at st. Pet
er's hospital. New Brunswick.
The solving of. this mystery is due
to the detective work Of County De-
tectlve Peter Schweikert, OF this place
and evidence supplied by Recorder
James Deming of Helmetta, who has
also devoted much time with tho re-
suit that the guilty parties will soon
face the bar of Justice.
The tip that led to the issuing OF the
warrants for the owner and driver of
the a was given by w Helmetta
girls, Miss Julia Hultz and Miss Rosie
Gemza. who were j%oy-riding with
Good when the man ran down Miss
Shepherd.
Both girls now claim that 1t vas
fear of receiving bodily harm from
mouths shut. They said hat when
Good ran down Miss Shepherd they
tried to make him stop but no made
threats and told them he would harm
them IL they told anybody. 1t Is not
known whether any action Will be
taken against the girls or not for keep
ing the information from the authori-
ties.
Constable Schweikert started after
evidence on Monday night. He found
the car in Rosnik's garage and on in
specting IL gathered "a lot of oatmeal
from the inside and the running-board
that was the same as that purchased
by Miss Shepherd at Spotswood sew
eral hours before being run down by
Good.
The car was mimi a light on the
left-han1 side that showed traces OF
blood, hnd this led to the theory that
Good was the man wanted. Inquiry at
Rosnik's home showed that Good had
taken fight and the former has told
so many conflicting stories that he has
been held equally guilty with Good.
owing to his concealing facts from the
police that would have landed him te-
hind the barr hat night.
Good is a very reckless driver. sew
eTal weeks ago he was before Motor
Commissioner William Dill at Trenton,
charged with driving a car without II
license. For this offense he was fined
$12.50 and several DAYS after receiving
q permit to drive a car he ran down Il
farmer on the back road toward En-
glishtown. He settled this Ease out of
court.
Rosnik has been to the home OF
John Brennan in an effort to settle his
end OF the case. Mr.. Brennan Is the
place where Miss Shepherd made her
home. Constable Schweikert will
place the case before the prosecutor
in an effort to have the man punished
for running away after striking Miss
Shepherd.

How ~curiously all the parts OF

1 spread the paper out smoothly.
On the thin. tough tissue the perfume
had brought out three sketches-siIIy
things-a rainbow. a lighthouse and
a submarine. They were placed at
the angle Of a triangle having equal
sides.
To the ordinary observer. at least,
the half circle at the left would seem
q rainbow. but to me II was q
scratehy sketch OF the great wheel in
the pleasure park, the huge skeleton
which had guided me away from the
charnel house to safety.
The lighthouse / had never seen,
but l had heard its fog horn wailing
through the silence OF a white mist,
striking an awful terror to the sick
soul OF me as the wind raised and
lowered the sheet above a corpse. 1
needed no visual proof that the light
house existed. How far the wheel
was from the lighthouse l did not
know. but the distance could be
quickly measured, and. with II. one
could locate the spot where tho
treasure lurked in the depths OF the
seal
And now I felt I had got about as
far as a girl could go alone on a
treasure hunt. Getting tho jewels up
from the sea was a mans job. IL
