So year old night watchman at st.
Johns Hospital, which occurred some
time between midnight and o'clock
this morning.
The watchman was found by
gardener living in the vicinity shortly
after o'clock. He was lying on
platform in front of the little hut
which he has made his headquarters
for the past year while keeping watch
over the big hospital in course of con.
struction.
a bullet had entered his left cheek.

top Of his head Another had pene.
trated the body between the stomach
and heart. The blood that covered his
face and clothes was not yet dry.
Police found the watchman's revol-
yer in his pocket with no cartridges
exploded. They believe this precludes
every idea Of suicide and hold to the
theory that an unknown enemy shot
the watchman as he stood on the lit
tie porch in the moonlight.
Sherrill's midnight lunch had been
eaten. This would indicate that he
met his death after that hour. Once
each hour he registered his rounds
on a clock in the building. As soon
as the clock is opened, the time of
his death will be arrived at approx
mately.
c. T. Sheriff., a married son, de-
clared this morning that he talked
with his father yesterday. The son
said he was in the best of spirits and
gave no hint of any trouble or danger.
The family knows of no enemy who
could have wished his DEATH Sheriff.,
