An Unidentified Man With n Bullet Hole in
His Head. ..
NEw Yopx, August 17.-A little boy
was driving COWS at Brighton Beach early
yesterday morning, in passing along a lit
lie path a short distance above the Con-
course, midway between the Ocean Hotel
and the Boulevard, suddenly stumbled
over a badly decomposed body lying
directly across the path.
The frightened boy hurried to Police
Headquarters and informed the police Of
his discovery. The body was that Of a
man, eyidentlya German, abont 30 years
old, and rather tlorid. lie had been dead,
evidently, for some days, as the condition
Of the body showed, and the face was
scarcely recognizable. a bullet hole in
the head showed the cause OF death, and
a large bulldog revolver, with one shell
exploded, lying near, indicated that the
man, whoever he was, had committed
suicide.
The msa was well dressed, in dark
clothes, and there was nothing about his
person by which his identity could DO es-
tablished except some slips which bore
the name OF SIR. Wheeler, and the ad,
dress No. 47S Fulton street, and Nos. 20s
and t2lS Atlantic avenue, and No. 120
Court street.. From the fact that q
programme Of the Brighton Beach music,
dated Aug. 8, was found in his pocket,
lit is supposed that on that day
suicide was committed. Atthe numbers
given q reporter found last night
that no such man as Wheeler was known
there, but at Nos. 2ls Atlantic avenue and
1926 Court street, the landlady said that q
German barber, whose name was Glass,
and whose description closely resembles
that OF the dead man, had lived at the two
places at different times, but had not
been seen at either place for some
time. Glass was considered to have
been crazy by all the neighbors.
The reporter, however, found q barber
named Hans Best, who used TO work
under Glass, and who said he had seen
Glass on Thursday last. The body was

have dissuaded The Postmaster General

quire a very lively Imagination to procure

1tneed not be asserted that the salary
is insignificant, The average Sboy who
