KILLED BY A TRAIN
 
Bridget HENNESSEY, a domestic employed at the home of John C
McCULLOCH, of 532 Turret street, East End, was killed about 11 o'clock
last night by a train on the panhandle road, near the Point bridge, in
the West End. The body is at the morgue.
 
Miss HENNESSEY had left the East End yesterday to visit friends in the
West End, where one of her cousins had died earlier in the morning.
She remained there until about 10 o'clock last night and then started
for the East End. Her mangled body was found by the watchman about
11:30. Her name and place of residence was learned from papers found
at the morgue. She was 30 years old and had been living with Mr
McCULLOCH for some time. The coroner's jury today returned a verdict
of accidental death.
