Body of John S. Hotchkiss Discovered
by Captain Sanford Yesterday Morn
ing-Supposed to Have Fallen From
Boat While Fishing for Eels.
The body of John S. Hotchkiss of 312
Prospect street, Fair Haven, was found
in the harbor yesterday morning by
Captain John S. Sanford of c. c. Parm-
elee & Co.'S oyster steamer F. A.
Sparks. 1t is supposed that Hotohkiss
was drowned some time Tuesday or on
Tuesday night
The body when discovered was hang
ing over the side of a double ended
rowboat the head and shoulders being
in the water, while the legs and lower
trunk We're in the boat. One foot
canght under an oar prevented the
whole body from falling into the wa
ter.
Captain Sanford observed the boat as
he was dredging for oysters off Fort
Hale, and on approaching it found the
body. He towed the boat and the body
to Evarts' wharf and summoned DR..
White The latter ordered the body re-
moved to Lewis & Maycock's undertake
ing establishment, where it was iden-
titled yesterday noon by L. S. Johnson,
Hotchkiss' father-in-law, who lives at
S. Perkins street
DIR. White says there is no doubt that
Hotchkiss' death was due to drowning,
and so reported to Acting Coroner Cal
lahan. 1t is surmised that Hotchkiss
was overcome by cold or had a fit while
spearing for cells on Tuesday afternoon
and fell from the boat in the manner
described and was drowned. His mind
had been somewhat affected by a stroke
of paralysis which he suffered a year
ago. The silver watch carried by him
had stopped at 2:45 and it is thought
from this that the drowning must have
occurred on Tuesday night. He was
seen by Captain Sanford Tuesday af-
ternoon rowing around Tonlinson' IS
bridge, and the captain says that he
appeared to be acting strangely at the
time.
Hotchkiss had worked as watch
man for the G. F. Warner Manufactur-
ing company for ten years, until he had
paralysis. He was about forty-five
years old and leaves a widow and one
child. His folks had often told him he
should not go near the water, but he
would evade them as he did Tuesday
and go fishing
