BALTIMORE. October 1.-THE mystery
which surrounded the death Of the man
whose body was found in the rear yard
of "a lodging house last night has been
partially dissipated. and there is no doubt
that the body is that Of Simon Hesser, a
deputy sheriff. from Savannah. Ga.
Hessor came here I'M charge OF an In

reached here yesterday morning he took
his prisoner TO 70 station house for safe
keeping until the steamer was ready to

He either jumped or fell from the win
dow. the latter being possible as tho
night was very warm. and the fall killed
him
