W. Dwight WAS BEATEN TO DEATH AFTER HARD STRUGGLE Police Thinks Ho Surprised Thieves at Work Rooms Are Ransacked .Tames J. Downs, sixty -five years old, of 0334 Kingscssing avenue, n night watchman, w-ns found brutnily murdered nt 0:30 o'clock this morn- lug, bis body jammed in n pantry of the residence of Edmund Waterman Dwight, retired manufacturer, nt Gcr mnntonn nnd Sunset avenues, In Chestnut Hill. Indications are that he was mur dered while defending tho property against robbers, who forced an entrance to the home Into Saturday night or early Sunday morning. A bullet had nicrccd hts left breast. and his skull had been frncturcd by n blow from a blunt instrument which left u scalp mark just behind the left cur. Surgeous say the -man hud been dend -twenty-four hours before he wns TJiscoereu. . Mantiu Dnlton. thirty years old. corctuker of the residence, discovered Downs's body nfter he hnd searched cery room iu the home- A cellar door ut the rear hnd been forced. Entering the cellar, Dnlton made his way to n stnlrwav, which leads to the first floor of tho Dwight home. Saw. Feet rrotrudlng As ho mounted .'the stulrs, Dulton found n panel smashed, from the door separating the basement from the muln floor. j Dulton saw thnt,tho bureaus-nnd closets of the home hnd becii.rau- , sacked. Ho mndc n curcful survey of the three floors, bcsinulng on the first, nnd continuing to the servants' quar ters on the third floor. It was not until he returned to the first floor that Dnlton saw n man's feet protruding from n pantry, which 'front's otf The main 'hallwny of the resi dchec. Dnlton 'thought thht some drunken mnn hnd cutered the house nnd. nfter ransacking it, hnd fallen asleep in the closet. Ho summoned his ussistant, Charles Kesslor, of 1JI17 Vine street, who was working in the garden. Together,' the men entered the closet where Dnlton wns lying, and made the discovery that he hud been murdered. The man's nrms were crooked, nnd raised above his head in n defensive posture. In u pool of blood nt the man's side Iny his wutch, which hud stopped with the hands pointing ut 3:50 o'clock. It Is believed the man wns murdered nt that time yesterday morning. The man's uNsallants did not disturb $.,r,0 in Dnlton's pocket, but ii rcvoher, which he uhvujs carried while on duty, was missing. Wns Former Policeman Downs wns employed us it watch man by several, residents of Chestnut Hill.

His winter homo is nt 1729 Waluut street. At present he Is in Europe. It is believed that Downs was pass ing through the groundi of the estate sometlmo Saturday night or curly Sun day morning, when he saw the flicker of n lighted candlo through tho windows. Candle grease wns found ou ull thjjc floors. ' The supposition 'is that Downs stealthily entered tho home by tho same means us tho robbers, and surprised them ut their work.
