HIS IDENTITY UNKNOWN.

The body of the young man which was
found in a clump of bushes alongside
the road to Bowery Bay Beach yester-
day and afterwards taken to the Morgue
at Newtown was buried this morning

was impossible to keep 1t longer.
UP to the time of the interment no
one had called to identify it, Identifca-
ton Is only possible now from the cloth
ing and the few articles found upon
the body.
There is no doubt whatever that
the man committed suicide. The body
must have been lying in the bushes for
a long time. Beside II was found a pis-
tol with some of the chambers exploded.
The man was young and rather under
sized.
He wore a white shirt, black fourth
hand tie, black sack-coat suit black
stockings. laced shoes and black derby
hat. In one OF the pockets We're keys
attached to a ring that was fastened
to his trousers button by a charm. On
The ring was n metal tag, inscribed,
compliments of Koch, Dreyfuss & CO.,
jewellers, % John street, New York"
In one of the upper pockets OF the vest
was a button with white enamel
shield, on which was a red cross, a
| black silk umbrella with a crooked
handle was close to the body.
Mr.. pTeyfuss, of Koch, DreYfuss &
Co., could throw no light on the mys-
terry. He said that the key-tng was
probably one of many hundred that the
firm had given away in the past year as
souvenirs
