mos ~ resolng, IL having from appearances been
thrice its natural size. and in state of putrefac
tion The position Of the body indicated most nm.
mlstakably that the unfortunate man came to his
death by his own deliberate act. A large sledIye
hammer, which was recog nized as belonging In
the deceased, was found tied inside his hat 6v a
rope, the other end Of which was tied about the
waist and is supposed, from the direction of the
fver current, that the deceased, after making his
preparations for death, must have ieaped from the
Long Bridge at one or the other of the draws and
gradually washed to the position where the re.
mains Were found, by the force of the current,
which has been very strong of late by reason OF
the heavy rains. A rosary of beads and a few
scraps OF paper bearing the name of the deceased,
