Was It Suicide?
Doc Johnson, the Engineer on
the vassenger train of the A. B.
&A. who had the misfortune to
run over a white man in the car
shed of the Terminal station in
Atlanta Wednesday morning re
lated the accident this morning and
states that the man was so close
to engine when he made his fatal
step, that he could have touched
the cow catcher with his hands.
The man seemed to be in a dazed
condition of mind or else delibe
rately planned tbe rash act that
ended his life. Numbers of peo
ple witnessed the accident and all
agree that it could not have been
avoided by the train crew. Mr.
Johnson was grieved over the ac
cident and though his train was
running at less than five miles per
hour, and stopped almost on the
second, the man was cut in two at
the instant. A
