MAN KILLED - The body of a man was found on the railroad track on last 
Wednesday night, a mile or so west of this place. The remains were so 
horribly mutilated as to prevent recognition, but from an old pass book 
found on his person it was discovered that his name was Crilley. 
Testimony given at the Coroner's inquest elicited the fact that his 
family reside at Kittanning point and that he was intoxicated at the 
time he met his awful fate.  Coroner Humes held an inquest yesterday 
morning, which rendered a verdict in substance "that the deceased came 
to his death by being run over by the Philadelphia Express, east". -

  We understand that Crilley formerly resided in Hollidaysburg, where 
his wife now lives.
