January 3, 1901 Welsh, Louisiana John Doe

 At 2 p.m. on Jan. 3, 1901, four miles out of Welsh, Louisiana the crew of a freight train saw bloodied clothes hanging from the cards. Upon inspection, the body of a mangled teenage boy was found. It's believed that the boy was a stowaway on the train and lost his hold causing him to fall beneath and be mangled by the train. He had broken both legs, and crushed his skull, one arm was severed and the other only held on by skin.

 A trainman came forward stating he believed he saw the boy in Houston, Texas. The boy told him he had returned from the Philippines and was heading to New Orleans to see his brothers. He stated one brother worked at a slaughterhouse and the other worked at a mill.

John Doe was a white male was between 14 and 16-years-old. He seemed to be wearing a new suit with overalls over it to help protect it. He had no identifying papers on him when he was found. He did have a tattoo of an anchor with the initials G.T.
