Tha rather myaterioua dreumstaa
cea aurrouBdlna; the death of youo
Joe Meier, who waa run over by a
suburban trolley ear on Greenville
Bound earlT Sunday mornlne;, may
-naver shape themselves la such a way
as to permit of a definite conclusion as
to jost how the nafortunate man came
to such ea untimely end. Aitnougn
the coroner's jary empanelled by Dr.
Bell the same moraine; of the tragedy,
bsa aouiht diligently for four days to
unravel the mystery, and place the
responsibility for the death, It has
beea unable to shed but rery little
light upon the affair and adjouroed at
8 o'eleekyesterdsy afternoon almost
as much at sea as when the body was
'first Identified aa that of the young;
carpenter Baaday moralae;. The ver
dict reached yesterdsy afternoon waa
s follows: ..' .. -'
"We, theOoroaer'a Jury, havlna;
beea duly summoned, and sworn by
Dr. a D.Bell, coroner of New Han
over county, to inquire what, caused
th dAth nf Joaenb Meier, eo nereoy
report that from the Investigation end
evideaee of witnesses, that the said
Joseph Meier came to his death, and
from the evidence of witnesses brought
berore this Jury we are unable to say
whether he dropped dead or waa run
over aad killed by the car or was
foully dealt with by person or persoua
unknowa." " . . .
The jury waa composed of aad the
verdict waa slcaedbythe following:
N. J. Williams (fore mas), a A. Gree
sh (secretary), Messrs. O. M. Mur
rie, Marcus Gray, E. J. Urimaley, Jr.;
and LeoaGeorte.
The coBcluslOBS of the jury were
reached - after two sessions, behind
closed doors, in the grand jury room
at tbe Court House yeeterday, the trst
rssioa lasting from noon to 2 P.M.
aad the last from 8:30 to ocioca.
After all the testimony was la hand
about an hour waa consumed' la de
liberating apoa a-verdict. The case
waa a perplexing one and Coroner Bell
desires to publicly testify lo the falth
fulaeeeaad effldeneyof those associ
mtA with himself la the Investigation,
There were all sorts of rumors on the
streets yesterday as to developments of
foul play that were being made
but aoae of the evidence oF that
character, wae tangible. The most
sensational development was contained
la aa anonymous letter received by
Justice G. W. Bornemann aad Oon
w R. Haven, reference to
which wis made la these columns
yesterday. The communication was
submitted la evidence "by Justice
Boraemaaa yeeterday, but from the
anonymous character of its contents
little credence could be given to state
ments contained therein, eorawiea
apoa both sides of the margin torn
from a eomle supplement to one of the
New York papers, la a hardly legible
head, were thee words:
"Some water ia thick but blood IB
thicker and my conscience Ja thicker
thaa blood aad I just want to tell yon
both that he was murdered about two
or three miles from where he was put
off the track and If they are caught, I
am aot to blame for I have aot told on
them, fori caaBOt, but yon can find
oat more If yon can find oat the
names of the two ' men who got off at
thesext statloa from where he was
put off. This is all I hare to aay; now
you both caa do the reeL!

J. A. Bigg, of the car from which
Heir waa ejected at tbe golf links, jest
hnniui nio.ula. was recalled before
the jary yesterday afternoon and tee
tified that on the trip In question he
did have two negro passengers, one
of whom got off, at GreenTille and
the other as Bradley's Creek, a ahort
distance beyond where Meier waa put
off. He could not aay, however, who
they were beyond the fact that they
answered the general description of
the two suspicious looking negroes
whom Conductor E. LV Brice had tes
tified previously , as hsviag seen at
Maeonboro crossing. at 10:a r. an.
upon the Bight of the tragedy; the oae
thick set, the other rather talL : Con
ductor Brice waa alao recalled yester
day afternoon and reiterated hla testi
mony, adding that about midnight,
jusCafter passing Greenville Station,
he was atandlBg on , the rear
platform of the car, looking
out, aad saw one of thelsame men go
ing toward . the beach. Conductor
John a Bowden aad Mr. a W. Hol
lowbuah were also recalled to refresh
the jury's memory of their testimony
Monday night. The description of
the negroee who goi off too car au
tallied with that of two negroee seen
near Meier at the "hobby horses" be
fore he left for the beach that nignu
Geo. B. Judge, driver for the Eagle
Steam Laundry, testified: 'Saturday
about 8 o'clock I finished my route
aad made my return! at the officer I
met Joe Meier at 8:18 P M. at the
hobby horses ; he apoke to me ; he had
ao hat on. While at the hobby horsea
heard a aegro remark to another:
Have you fouad your man t' The
other aegro replied yes, there atanda

Meier.) Then he ss!d, 'Why didn't
yon get ltm f and he said, I
win vet him : I don't let no
make my wife drink whiskey." Meier
went off towards Church and Fourth
streets; then the same negro followed
him; then I heard the other negro
whistle and he hurried towaraa xmru
and Castle atreeta, the direction Meier
went."-:-?:' -"'V. . ' -'V-
: Perhaps the most Important evidence
yeeterday waa that by Dr.O. J. Manly,
asaiatant surgeon U B A. of Fort
Caawell, and Dr. J. Arthur Dceher, of
Southport, who were on the car which
naised over the man and made a cur
sory examination of the body a few
minutes thereafter. They qualified aa
experts and then gave their opinions
aa to length of time the man had been
dead, etc. .
, Dr. Manly waa the firat witness of
the day. The official report of hla tes
UmMT is as follows: ' ' ' '
I left the beach about 13 o'clock.
The first I aw of the accident was
tv. . MAiAnntn atnnned the CST
and said 4I have killed a man.' , I
went to see the man. I found he was
dead; there was no reason why 1
ahouldnot think that he waa killed
by that car, as the body waa warm.
The injury in the head might possibly
have stopped the leg from bleeding. 1
did not Botice his lips." - - -
Dr. J. Arthur" Dosher: "I was on
the car that ran over the body; waa
Bitting on the second seat; heard mo-
torman say 1 nave run uycr
To make sure that he was warm, we
went back and viewed the body. Bome-
it w. .nn1a wnnlil rail SB a BOOT

when the heart etops it will stop
the flow of blood. If t the jnan
In this insUnce had been killed before
that time, I don't think he would have
been aa warm aa he was I could n t
tell whether or not he waa drinking.
