CARLISLE, Pa., March 31.---Roy Henderson, aged 28, of Lemoyne, a Cumberland Valley Railroad brakeman, was seriously hurt this morning when he fell from the top of a west-bound freight train. He was found shortly after 4 o'clock by a towerman, wandering along the track with severe wounds on his head and shoulders.
