CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN BEATEN I His Jaw and Skull Wore Badly Fractured, lie Was Released From the Pottsville Jail Yesterday After Serving a Long Term. Tho polico authorities of this town havo an enigma in hand and they will have somo difficulty in solving it if the victim who figures in It does not recover sufficiently to give them an intelligent statement. Tho victim is a Polo named Paul Basimas and ho is now at tho .Miners' hospital receiving treatment for injuries of a very dangerous character. When an oasl-bound coal train drawn by engine No. 10!) on the I.ehlgh Valley railroad approached the cut near Koliinoor Junction, which is spanned by tho Schuylkill Traction Company's bridge, tho crew olmervod tho body of a man lying on tho traok. Tho tram was stopped long enough to pick up tho victim and place him on tho engine. Ho was brought to town and sheltered in the miners' slinnty near tho Lehigh Valley depot until tho train arrived to take him to tho Miners' hospital. When Hasimas arrived lie was suiliciontly conscious to give his name and say lhat he was attacked by some men ou the Traction Company's bridge and thrown over the rail ing to the Lehigh Valley tracks, about thirty feet below. Itasimus then became wholly unconscious and nothing more could lie learned from him. Dr. G. M. Hamilton was called and made an examination. Ho found that the in juries were confined to tho head, and pro nounced them very serious. Tho scalp was terribly gashed on the right side just above the forehead and behind and a littlo above the right ear. The skull was badly fractured in both places and tho front of tho jaw bone was broken clean in twain. Notwithstand ing the terrible character of tho injuries Dr. Hamilton expressed tho belief that tho man's lifo could bo saved and trepanning would bo necessary. He dressed the injuries temporarily. Nothing concerning the victim could bo learned until one Joe Kowlitz, a resident of tho First ward, appeared. Ho was attracted to tho place by hearing that a friend of his had been injured. He readily identified Basmas and said lie was a man of about ISO years of ago without any relatives in this country. Kowlitz told the following story to a Heisali reporter: "I went down to Pottsville yesterday to meet Hasimas. Ho was released from tho Pottsviilo jail yester day after serving- a term of three and a half years for assault and battery with intent to kill. He was sentenced to four years, but was allowed six months for good behavior. We came to Shenandoah and spent several hours together diinking. At about half past eight o'clock last night I left ltasimas at tho Pennsylvania railroad depot. Hasimas was very drunk and I left him. I went to l'.iulakonis' saloon, on East Centrejstreet, and staid thero all night. I did not see Hasimas after I left him at tho depot until I i here." Ono thing that mystified Dr. Hamilton during tho examination of the body was that the hair on tiie hack and right side of the victim's head was burned close to tho sealji Somo peoplo incline to tho belief that Hasimus walked from the Pennsylvania depot along the Lehigh Valloy tracks to the place where he was found aud struck by train. But this supposition appears to bo refuted by the fac t that almost twelve hours elapsed between tho timo that Hasimus was last seen at tho Pennsylvania depot and the finding of tho man on tho track. Had he been fatruck last night Ids body would have been ground to plecos by tho several late night and early morning trains. Besides, the body would havo been discovered beforo boven o'clock this morning, and there was nothing'on tho track that would burn tho liair. Tho clothing the man wore was now and did not show any evidences of the body having been drugged m tho dirt. Hasimus was very neatly draed. Another version is that tho man was struck by an electric railway car and beforo the body was thrown from one of the ends of tho bridge the hair was burned by the head coming in contact with some part of tho electrical apparatus. Tho Traction Company officials at Girard- villo stated this morning that none of its employes lutd reported striking a man at the bridge. There is also a version that Hasimus was struck by a train on tho Lehigh Valley track early this morning and thrown into tho gutter aud that a lighted cigar lie probably carried perhaps fell in such u position as to ignite his hair. I'coplo who entertain this belief say that by being thrown into tho gutter the victim escaped other trains and with partly returning consciousness as tho day advanced he rolled upon tho track. And there are still othors who heliove that beforo Hasimus relapsed he told the truth. Tharo is a possibility that tho man spent tho night making rounds of saloons and came In contact with men who sought vengoanco by beating and throwing him from tho bridge.
