HER BODY FOUND ATLAST
PHILIP CARVER WAS
DROWNED IN WHITE RIVER.
Disappearance of the Haughville
Woman Finally Solved by Dis
cOvery of the Remains.

The body of Mrs. Philip Carver has been
recovered. It was found yesterday morn
ing in White river about half a mile be-
low the Belt railroad bridge south of the
city, Ct distance of nearly five miles from
where the woman is supposed to have
jumped into the river. John Scherer, OF 1876
Kentucky avenue, was fishing on the west
side of the stream at a bend in the river.
He noticed in a small pool formed by the
eGdying of the current what appeared to
be a human body. Just as he saw it, Ben
jamin Butler and Edward Barnett came
along, and their attention was called to it.
They agreed that it was the body of a
woman, and in short order had fished 1t
out and landed it on the shore.
Coroner Castor was notified by telephone,
and he started to the scene. When he ar
rived he found a large crowd already as
sembled. In it was Philip Carver, who had
already identified the body as that of his
wife. The coroner made a hasty
ton of the body, but decomposition had
been at work long enough to render it i'm
possible for him to tell with accuracy
whether there were any signs Of foul play.
The body was taken to Herman's morgue.
Mrs. Carver disappeared Sunday, Oct. A..
She and her husband had moved in the
house at the corner of King avenue ana
al IN
had taken up the business of keeping a se-
loon and boarding house. Mrs. Carver had
been a sufferer for years from headaches
and for several years past had found her
only relief in the use of Fowler's solution
of arsenic. Saturday night she had a vio-
lent attack of the headache and took a
dose of the solution. Six drops was her
usual dose, but it is believed she took an
overdose, for she had a violent fit of vom-
iting. She suffered great pain and did not
retire until after midnight. AT 4 O'Clock,
Mr.. Carver says, his wife awakened him,
saving she was sick and was going out into
the yard. He went to sleep again and
when awakened at 8 o'clock found his wife
missing. He notified the police and his
friends and went to make an Investigation.
His wife's shawl was found on the pier of
the Michigan-street bridge, and from this
it was concluded Mrs. Carver had decided
to end her misery in death.
Carver and his ~neighbors set about drag
ging the river and continued the search
up until the body was found yesterday.
Every foot of the river for a long distance
below the Michigan-street bridge had been
dragged and dynamite was also used in the
hope of recovering the body. AT the time
of Mrs. Garver's disappearance the river
was high, but it was not believed that the
stream without striking the bank. Mrs.
Carver was thirty-tWo years old. She was
formerly Miss Amelia Field. She leaves
three children, the Oldest of whom is nine
years old.
