Coroner Brackner Thinks that There Is a
Mistake as to the Victim.
Coroner Brackner says the body of the
man murdered in the East Newark
meadows had not been identified up to the
time he and DR.. Converse left, near mid
night.
He does not believe the morning papers
had the correct name. He thinks the
Harrison authorities are slow The body
was found between eight and nine
o'clock in the morning, and the County
Physician was not notified until after six
O'Clock in the evening.
The Coroner was ordered to empanel a
jury, which will view the body at five
O'Clock this afternoon.
The inquest will be postponed for a
week in order to allow the police to thor
oughly work up the case.
