IDENTITY IN DOUBT.
The Name of a Dead Man Cannot
BE Fully Esta abliShed.

The body of the man who was found
Tuesday morning at the limckiln of the
Washington Gaslight Company, on Twenty
seventh street northwest, and supposed to
be that of Walter l.. King, was removed
yesterday morning from the Sixth precinct
morCue TO Gawler's undertaking establish
ment There is still some doubt in the
minds of Kings relatives as to whether
the man is really King. Col. Il. G. Ruther-
ford, brother-in-law of King, called at
the undertaker's yesterday afternoon, and
after viewing the remains expressed the
opinion that the man was another than
his relative The police, who have known
Lowry King for the past dozen years,
say there is no doubt but that he is the
dead man,
The certificate of death from alcohol
ISM given by Coroner Hammett, was made
out in the name of Walter l.. King. The
body will be held at the undertaker's
rooms until tomorrow morning, when some
of the officials at the workhouse where
King was frequently confined will view
the body for the purpose of identifying
&C if possible.
