Police said the negro apparently had been hit by a train, but that the facts in the case had not been definitely established. A switch engine operating in the vicinity was inspected and revealed no indication of having struck the man [sic] they said. The negro died from multiple injuries including a crushed skull and a severed leg and foot, Coroner L.M. Harrison believes. An inquest to determine more circumstances of the death has been set for tomorrow. The negro’s residence was believed to have been at 2306 Johnson street, Mr. Harrison said.
