No Foul PLAY

The story of the finding of a
knife blade sticking in the coat of
Ernest Pulse, who was killed by a
train at Hunnewell Sunday night of
last week, has set tongues waeeing
and caused many wild stories to be
circulated.
We learned from the coroner, DR..
Chas. Chapman. that a kuife blade
about two inches long and covered
with blood, was found sticking in
the cloth near the arm hole of the
dead boys coat, This was the
shoulder that was crushed by the
train. Had the knife been used on
him, there would be no possible
way of proving it, on account of the
way the shoulder was mangled.
But DR.. Chapman says he learned
from other boys that young Pulse
was in the habit of carrying knife.
open, in the breast pocket of his
coat. He thinks the blade was
broken off by the car wheel and the
handle dropped some where close
to where the body was found.
He does not believe Pulses COM
panions had any hand in causing
his death, He thinks they possibly
knew when the boy fell and were
frightened by it and kept secret
what they knew. He further says
that, from the nature of the dead
boys injuries, he does not believe
his life could have been saved. even
if a doctor had been at hand when
the acident first happened. -Shel-
