Man Is Seen
After 'Death'
At Rochester
Figure Resembling 'Dead'
Sicilian Worker Haunts
University Campus
ROCHESTER, N. Y., March 24. -
The peculiar circumstances surround-
ing the supposed death, burial, and
reappearance of a concrete worker
on the campus of the University of
Rochester is being investigated by
the faculty and students of that uni-
versity.
The mystery concerns a Sicilian la-
borer, Peter Nicosia. who, an official
report says, was instantly crushed to
death in a fall from the top of the
Rush Rees library tower to the con-
crete floor 150 feet below.
Lately accounts have been told of
a man, exactly answering Nicosia's
discription, who has been seen at odd
times about the Rochester campus.
Foreman Puzzled
James Conroy, foreman of the
gang of which Nicosia was a member,
is puzzled as to the identity of the
person whom the ghastly accident
befell, and whose funeral expenses
were paid from Nicosia's savings.
Clarence Livingston, superinten-
dent of Buildings and Grounds at
the university, tells of having seen
a man, who he has identified as Ni-
cosia, several days after the latter's
"death," when the superintendent
was making an investigation of the
tower from which the "mystery man"
fell.
Livingston states that the man
scanning the horizon was clad in
nothing but an old sweater, although
it was during the record-breaking
cold spell of last month.
Reported Seen Alive
Several professors have also re-
ported seeing Nicosia in various cam-
pus buildings after his supposed
death.
Many theories which have been ad-
vanced in an attempt to clear the
mystery, but no evidence has been
found to corroborate the opinions.
Some skeptical individuals believe
that the stranger may be a twin-
brother of the dead man, who has
been mentally affected by the catas-
trophe, and who may have a distorted
idea of revenging himself on the uni-
versity.
Other explaiations have classed
the man as a ghost, madman, or
avenger, while more logical minds
have contented themselves with term-
ing the entire affair a coincidence.
