Augusta News: A mans finger in the
stomach Of a large catfish was what John
Vincent a colored fisherman, found sew
eral days ago while preparing his string
of fish for supper. Johns appetite had
been whetted up to considerable extent
at the thoughts of crisp, brown fish on
his table for supper. and his mouth fairly
watered as he busiy cleaned his fish.
The finding of this finger, however, de-
stroyed his appetite, and the entire lot of
fish were thrown away: The finger, while
lacerated, seemed to be we'll preserved
with the nall and all intact. The catfish
in which the finger was found was a large
one and was caught on the South Carolina
side several miles down the river. The
fish evidently got hold of the body of
some man who was drowned and nibbled
off one of his fingers. This makes the
second time the finger of a person has
been found in a fsh's belly. Several
years ago, it will be remembered, a child's
finger was discovered under similar cir
cumstances.
