The skeleton Mystery.


Yesterday morning, Coroner Libby, with DIR.
VIM and Others of the Soldiers Home, proceed
ed to the place where the remains Of man were
discovered on Wednesday night by Charles Kim
ball, an inmate of the Home, Kmball leading the
way and acting as guide, following land marks
along through the bushes, which he had taken the
precauton to put up at the time of finding the re-
mains; otherwise it would have been quite difficult
to have found them. The skeleton, for such it
was, the flesh being entirely gene, was lying on
the left side, with the left hand under the head
and the right lying out directly from the body,
the left leg being in straight position, while the
right was partly pulled up in the direction Of the
face, evidently in an easy position if resting or
sleeping The clothing which covered the
mains, was the same usually worn by the inmates
of the Home, with a hospital blouse or gown
The clothing was whole, or nearly so. though very
rotten, while the appearance of the whole would
seem to indicate that the remains had not been
moved in any manner, either by man or beast.
The skeleton was that of very large man, at
least elk feet tall The examination ofthe clothing
and the large size Of the skeleton, together with
other facts which the investigation disclosed,
leaves no doubt that the remains are those Of
George Youn;-, Germ an, who was member Of
Co. II, 6Sth n. Y. Vols, and was admitted to the
Home, June S0th, 1862 and admitted to the Hos
pital Feb. l9th 1872, and left the hospital without
permission. May 10th, 1874 and was partially in
sane at the time, as he had been, more or less So
for some time previous. There is, therefore, no
doubt, but the remains have been lying in the
place where found since May, 1874. At the time
of his disappearance from the hospital, Gen. Til
ton offered reward for any information concern
ing him; and q search, participated in by some
three hundred of the inmates, was kept up
for two or three days, but nothing was ever hoard
or known Of his whereabouts, until found as above
stated. The place where he was found is about
one half mile north from the road leading from
Halloween to the Home, in dense thicket of small
growth, on land Of Joshua Marin, and about one
mile distant in q westerly direction from the home.
He probably wandered away, as was his habit at
