INSANE AND A SUICIDE.
Disclosures of tho Autopsy ON the
Bowery Hay Beach Unknown.

NEWTOwN, l.. l.. Aug. s.After hav-
ing made an autopsy on the body OF the
man who drIfted ashore, with his hands
strapped together. at Bowery Bay
Beach. yesterday afternoon. DR.. A. G.
Combes. gave 1t as his opinion to-day
that the man was insane and had conf
mitted suicide.
The doctor said that he found that
the man had been suffering from dys-
pepsia. and that he had had nothing to
eat for at least day before he was
drowned. The doctor is convinced that
the man was out OF his mind. and, from
the manner In which his hands were
tied he thinks he manacled himself and
then sought death TO get relief from his
sufferings.
THE police are now convinced that the
man killed himself. and they think that
possibly he escaped from some insane
asylum. The fact that he had nothing
in his pockets, and that his hands were
soft, showing that he did not perform
manual labor, Ia looked upon as confir-
nation Of this theory.
Coroner Brandon will hold the body
for some time. and will probably com
municate with asylum authorities. pro-
vided the body Is not Identified soop.
The inquest will be held next Wednes-
day.
