A drowned body. which. it was thought possible
might be that of Samuel 5. Conant. who left his
office In lIaTperss linildlng on January 20. was
found yesterday IN Coney Island Creek. near the
west end Of the Island. Two colored men. who
were fishing discovered the body near where the
Brooklyn. Bath and Coney Island Railroad track
crosses the creek upon trestle. Ii was much de-
composed and the face and hands had been eaten
away. The body was dressed in red flannel under
clothing white linen SHIRT Il business suit with
cutaway coat, "a dark oyercoat and black derby
hat The description given Of Mr. Conant at the
time of his disappearance tallies with this. Other
marks given for identification at that time such as
the hair and mustache aud a gold ring on one
hand the condition OF the body made OF no service.
The men who found the body tied IT to stake, and
carried the news TO COney Island.
Mr. Conant was last alive there on January
22. and the villagers took great interest in the
search for him. as many inquiries had been made
among them. Some of those who saw nm eN-
pressed the opinion that the body was that OF the
missing editor, aud "a young man was scht 10
