White Of Fort Warren. whose body was
found floating in the water at Hull. June
49, has filed his report in the Second dis
tIict court al Abingdon. Judge Kelly
finds that White came 10 his death by
drowning and gives little weight to the
theory of foul play. White was a soldier
in the United States army. a private in
Company Z. which is stationed at Fort
Warren. He had been in the service three
years and his term would not have ey-
pired until 1893. on the evening of June

pier. and one Captain Mckone met
White and other soldiers. White was un-
able TO walk alone. and il was decided to
take him on board the tug. Stahlan and
MckOne started with White and the lat

not go all the way to the pier. leaving
McKone with White. McKone took

companions, but he could not be found.
The tug conveyed the other soldiers to
Fort Warren. Whites cap was found on
the tughoat, about four feet from the
side near the point where the ladder

the pier. Next morning the emblem Of
Company c, which had been on Whites
cap, was found near the seat on which
he was left by McKone. These facts We're
brought out at the inquest which was
held when Whites body was found off
Hull. \ suspicious wound under the
chin indicated that possibly there had
been a row and that White had been
knocked off of the pier. Judg Kelly,
after carefully reviewing the evidence,

enough of the polls, and will probably never
