THE BODY UNCLAIMED.
The East Greenwich Man is Not
Identified by Anyone.

Nothing new regarding the identity of
the man found dead in the woods Sunday
near East Greenwich has developed. A
postal card was received this morning by
Coroner Tilley from Mrs. Dora Clemence,
of 446 North Main street, Providence,
stating that the description given in the
paper last evening of the clothing of the
dead is the same as that OF friend who
has been missing for some time, under
whose right eye is small scar.
and on whose left or right arm are the le'-
ters c. w. Is. An examination of the
corpse failed TO disclose any such marks
though IL Is possible that IL there are any
such marks they are indistinguishable, be
cause of the discolored and wasted condi-
ton OF the body. The Boston parties
whose names were on cards found in the
dead mans pockets have not communica-
ted with the coroner who wrote 10 them.
There are no marks OF violence on the
body or the head The only marks on IL
being the ridges caused by lying on the
sticks and stones where the body was
found. and scratches on the legs caused
doubtless by wanderings through the
brush and brambles In the vicinity.
Theories of murder or suicide being ~the
cause ot death would appear 10 be unten-
able. the most reasonable theory being the
one already formed that the man was
mentally deranged, and removing his
clothes laid down and died from exposure
and weakness.
