A man had been killed on the C , M. & St. P, rmlway bridge—a spot uncovered by the police, and although the imploring cries ot the victim wore heard by at loast half adozen persons; and although the mur- derer passed within a foot of two wmen directly aftor the com jon of the crime, he was atill at largo and the full enorgies of the force were needed. Infor miation in regard to the tragedy was first received at the police station when Mr, Buok, the tailor, who lives in thovicinity, on First streot, rushed in and stated that he knew thore was somothing wrong on the bridge that he had HEARD CRIES OF MURDER, HELY, ETC, Marshal Francis at onco ordered the covering of all points out of the city, and sent an officer to the scene of the murder, At the west end of the bridge about 500 foot of trestlo work extends from the last pier almost to First strect, On the trestle work, with the aid of lanterns, blood was found on the track and tics, Undernoath on the ground was a_great pool of blood, as though a man had been stabbed and held down in one positim for a length of time. Near whoere the blood was discovered John Garratt pickoed up a silver quarter and a button.

A number of persons declared they had heard cries of murder, but this testimony was not nocessary to convince those who saw the evidence onthe bridge. As wo stated above, the murderer passed within a foot of two men and oscaped. These men wero Geo. Lamb, of 600 Firat street west, and Wm. Henderson, of 719 Second street west.

At 12 o'clock last night a reporter called at Mr. Lamb's residence and found him in bed—but not asleep. te had not slept any, and didn't expect to fora day or two. He arose, lighted a lantern and accompanied tho reporter to the scene of the murder, and on the way related his story. Heo said: 1'was chopping wood in front of my house about 7 o'clock, when I heard some one on tho bridge ery murder. About this time Mr. Henderson camo along, and we stood and listened. Wo heard sounds as though some one was being clubbed. Then wo heard a man, or I think a boy, begging piteously, 1T never heard any one beg as he did. e cried, SPOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T KILL ME “Save me, for God’s sake!” and 1 don't kuow what all he did say. By and by we heard . feeblo ory, and then heard the water splaghi.
