a Colored Man Named Samuel Drum
mond Found Dead.
While two boys, named Mark Peck and
Ralph Hunter, were fishing on the river
bank, between j and X streets, about l
o'clock yesterday afternoon, they saw a
human body floating near by. Procuring
a boat they went out, tied a cord to one of
the arms and towed the corpse to the
shore, where they fastened it and then
went and notified the police.
Word was sent to the Coroner's Office,
and the body taken to the morgue. Here
it was identified by Albert Grubbs and
others as that of Samuel Drummond, a
colored man, who had for a long time
been in the employ of Mr.. Grubbs as
driver of job and express wagon. Since
the State Fair, however, he had not
work ed for Grubbs.
A couple of weeks ago Drummond was
taken i'll, and few days since was sent to
the County Hospital. The last time
Grubbs saw him was on Friday
All that is known OF deceased is that he
was native of New Bedford, Mass, and
was unmarried. His age was probably
about 60 years.
The Coroner thinks the body must have
been in the river about three DAYS.
Whether it was case of murder, accident
or suicide is not known, but the general
opinion is that Drummond took his own
life in a moment OF dependency.

one of the old mans attorneys, the pass

Mr.. Anderson desires to make a motion
for new trial, but was not ready yester-

Judge Van Fleet was not inclined at
first TO grant the continuance, remarking
That the too frequent dragging along OF
criminal cases in his court was fast be-
coming a nuisance. Mr.. Anderson
pleaded, however, that he wanted to do
the best he could for his aged client. The
court finally continued the case until
