PIERSON WAS SANDBAGCED, Police Are Looking for the Marderer of the Civil Radineer, BROUGHT HOME BY A CHBMAN. He Was Unconscious end Bruised About the Face and Body. MONEY AND WATCH MISSING. After He Died It Was Found that His Skull Had Been Fractured. In the death of John Pierson, the civil engineer, of 167 West Twenty-first street, the inquest on whose body was held yesterday, the police of the West Thirtieth station admit that they have © big mystery to unravel and a murderer to run down, That Pierson was murdered is ad- mitted, and the evidence goes to show that he was sanbagged. Up to the present the police have not the slightest clue to his assailant. They have been at work on the case now for over @ week, yet they are as much in the dark as ever. ‘There is one man in the city who can throw light upon the mystery, He is the cabman who brought Plerson home, delirious and unable to give the slightest account of himself, The cabman, how- ever, fas disappeared completely, and there is not even a description of him ‘pon which the police can work. ‘The story of Pierson's death has al- ready been told in “The Evening World,” but until the result of the au- topsy was made known at the inquest yesterday the fact that the man had been murdered was not generally known. Pierson was a civil engineer and a widower, who boarded at the residence of Mrs. Margaret Barclay, at 167 West ‘Twenty-first street. Early on the morning of May 6, he left the house with $125 in cash and a heavy gold watch and chain in his He was evidently drinking all that @ay and did not return as usual that night. ‘The next day a cab drove up to the oor of his house, ‘The cabman rang the bell and told Mrs. Barclay that one of her boarders was in the vehicle, Her gon went out, and with the aid of the cabman helped Pierson inside. ‘One of his eyes was blackened. He had several slight cuts on the head, and his clothing was mudstained. He was unable to say anything intelligible, but kept groaning unceasingly. ‘The man’s condition was such that Mrs. Barclay had him taken to the New York Hospital, In her excitement she had forgotten to ask the cabman a question as to where he had found his fare, or who he had been with, ‘At the New York Hospital Pierson was undressed, when it was found that his arms were badly bruised. It was decided to send him at once to Bellevue Hospital. He was taken to that institution, where he died on May 12 withovt having recovered consclous- ness, Next day an autopsy on the body was performed by Deputy Coroner Donlin, and then the real cause of death was iscovered to be a fracture of the skull stretching from the neck clear up to the forehead, The wound, coupled with the black- ened eye and the other bruises, proved to the Coroner conclusively that the man had met with foul play, and that he had been struck from behind with some weapon, probably a sand bag. The police were informed of the re- gult of the autopsy, and Ward Detective Day, of the West’ Thirtieth street sta- tion, at once began a hunt for evidence. His first thought was the cabma but nelther Mrs, Barclay nor her son could give any good description of the mom He has searched half the stands in the city since, but has been unsu cessful. He started out on the searcn egain yesterday morning. ‘He told of his non-success to a jury be- fore Coroner Fitzpatrick yesterday, and upon the Deputy Coroner's statement the Jury found @ verdict that the man had been murdered. When P.erson was brought to his home in the cab he had no money. All of the $15 had disappeared, a3 had also hie id watch sod chain. Pawnbrokers’ stores will be searched for the latter. —_—_—< = SHIPPING NEWS. ALMANAC FOR TO-DAY. Gun rives....4.39/Sun sets...

Dr. Westmoreland and Col, Roun- tree Depart ‘for the South.” The Former Slapped the Latter’s Face in Abbey’s Theatre. One of the chief topics discussed in the hotel corridors, clubs and other uptown resorts to-day was the truth of the re- port that Dr, Willis F, Westmoreland and Col. Dantel W. Rountree have left this city to fight a duel in Virgini Both the gentlemen live in Atlanta, Ga., but are well known In social and club circles in this city. All of the cir- cumstances seemed to indicate that the report was well founded. Dr, Westmoreland slapped Col. Roun- tree in the face in the smoking-room of Abbey's Theatre. Col. Rountree, up to 3 o'clock yesterday, was a guest at the Imperial Hotel. At that hour he paid his bill and told the clerk that he was going South. Just about the same time Dr. Westmoreland left the Hotel Bt. Denis, also “going South. ‘The trouble at Abbey's Theatre ts said to have grown out of a@ long-standing ill feeling between the men, and both are at present under bonds in Georgia to keep the peace. it was learned later that Col, Rountree had gone South via Washington on an early train this morning. He left this clty yesterday afternoon in the company of his friend, &. P. Kennard, and stopped at the latter gentleman's resi- dence in Hackensack last night. Mr. Kennard returned to his office, 29 Broadway, thie morning, but he was not in when a’ reporter called on him. 'A gentleman who represented Mr. Ken- nard said: “T left the imperial Hotel In the same carriage with the Colonel and Mr. K nard last evening. They went, to Hack- ensack, where Mr. Kennard lives, and Temained there ail night, When Mr. Kennard argived here this morning he told me that ‘Dan’ had gone south on an early train by way of Washington, but waht part of the South is his objective point y cannot say. “T believe that Dr. Westmoreland went ae yesterday afternoon about 3.30 o'clock.” This gentleman would not talk of the probabilities of the two men meeting Under the code further than to say, “The departure of both men fs certainly sighificant." —— TARRED AN OLD WOMAN.

After the case had been given to the jury, the latter retired and eventually returned and found a verdict of gullty. Sentence was postponed, Whet Taylor was on the stand, he was asked the vanes of those who vis- {ted nis owns. He desired to write them, but the Judge said: “If the mmes are written, I shall read them aloud. I do not approve of mystery.” Taylor then mentioned a few names, but they were not those of any promi- nence. Taylor denied having gone through a marriage ceremony with a man named Mason. He sald that the solicitor of the Marquis of Queensberry had de- sired him to make a statement against Wilde during the action against the Marquis, but he had refused to do so.
