Charles Jordan, OF Brooklyn. who was

He added that the body had been
pulled out Of the water early in the day
by rope tied around one Of the ankles.
He said the man was feet inches in

skaven and light-haired.
Jordan thought that the revolver in

It had been placed there purposely after
the mans death. The clothes on the
body showed the man to have been
fairly well-to-do, and Jordan thought he
had been killed and then robbed.
