Money Watch and Diamond Ring No Ar rests as Yet, . But Coroner Investi gating. Raleigh, N. C, Nov.. 16. Apparently impenetrable mystery, surrounds ,the" death of E. W, Smith, & ' Coal, drummer of Richmond, who was found " dead here about 2 o'clock yesterday, morn ing. Sometime Saturday night Smith met his ' 'deathf as - heuwasl lastl seen about 2 o'clock.: His body Was found in a rock quarry about ; forty; feet from the surface of- the ground. -;His nck was apparently broken and.f there are some bruises about the bpdy. His "coat and overcoat were found at the top oi t he pit, on - the opposite, ? side ' J f roni where the body was found; l vyhether he fell into the 'pit, and was killed by the fall or ,was ..v murdered and; thrown in is- a puzzling question. Strength is lent to the inurdel theory from the fact t hat the ead manf'was" robbed- antl he was known to have ; had sixty -do! lars: This 1 is missingj- as are ;also a diamond ring and a watch, -which ' he wore. The" coroner is still inyestigat ing the case and it is impossible to forecast his . findings. The body wil probably be v sent . home i to-day for burial. - ' '.; ;" . .
