Correspondence of the REPUBLICAN,
Nav CASTLE. Sept, Is.
A couple Of weeks ago when the
body of drowned man was found
here the people felt incensed at the
action of the coroner in removing the
body SO quickly from ills place. Sew
eral OF the most influential citizens
asked me to comment on the fact.
deputy Coroner Palmer having seen
fit to lower his estimation OF your
correspondent for writing the article
feel in Justice to myself that the facts
OF the case should be thoroughly
known.
Shortly aftcr 6 o'clock on that even,
ing the body was found floating here
and the Coroner notified. Hc sent
two men over who took the body and
placed it in the box before more than
! twenty persons had chance to view
1t. They then drove up the street to q
hotel. where both men in turn went in
and had some drink. This sight thor
oughly slckened everyone who wit
messed 1t. ...-
Deputy Coroner Palmer al ways troat !
ed me properly and have not now
nor never had anything against him
But when the publ has q grleveanCe
/ II Is myplace to state It.
A couple Of years ago over 81 had,
to be paid by the relatives of George
| Abbott to get his body from the
morgue In Wilmington. Suppose this.
man was living here, Just imagine the.
Inconvenience and expense his people
would have had to bear with to get his
| body brought to this city. certiti.l
cate OF death by being drowned was.
recorded at the Board OF Health office.
! IN Wilmington. Now, the question:
/ arises was he man thrown Into the
river did he fall in or did he commit
suicidep
! 1t is fer from being convenient for.
witnesses to 20 from here to Whining
ton and testify They lose half day
aud pay thirty cents each train fare.
