threatened with typhoid fever, but the

was only scantily clad She had taken her
purse containing SIS. The search was
prosecuted with great energy without
results, until last Sunday, when friends in
Philadelphia and Clay ton received word
from the Home of the Good Shepherd,

Body of a Suicide Found.

On Saturday last the body of man was
found floating in Mantus creek, near the
railroad bridge at Paulsboro. The throat
was cut from ear to ear and the condition Of
the clothing indicated fierce struggle and
foul play.
Coroner Gaskill had the body removed
to Undertaken Mullins morgue, where il
was examined by Doctors Laws and Read
ing on Sunday afternoon. They found the
throat cut from ear to ear, but the jugular
vein was not severed, and it was the
opinion of the physicians that the wound
could not have produced death. On the
body were two stab wounds, which ap-
peared to have been made by some sharp
instrument
The examination of the lungs and chest
cavity disclosed evidences that the man
had met death by drowning. The body
had the appearance of having been in the
water for several weeks and was clothed
in heavy undershirt and pair Of
trousers.
The authorities are of the opinion that
the wounds on the body can be accounted
for by reason of its having been in the
water when the river was full of ice and
coming in contact with heavy pieces OF ics
could have caused the wounds.
The body was identified as that Of E.
Pierre Jerred, of COL North Sixth street
Camden, chair manufacturer, who disap
peared from his home last November
portion of his clothing was found on thu
bank Of Cooper creek at the time Of hi
