Body of an Unknown Man
Found Floating.
NEAR OLD BUTTONwOODS
Neck Was Broken and He Had
Sustained Other Injuries.
MAY HAVE BEEN A FISHERMAN.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon.
a man who works for Clark & Randall,
at Old Buttonwoods, found the body
OF a man floating in the water. and
from It's appearance IL had evidently
been in the water but a short time, and
IL was not at all swollen.
The man who found the body at once
notified the authorities. VINO in turn
sent word TO Medical Examiner Fifield
of Centreville, and later the remains
were taken to the undertaking rooms
of A. G. Hill at East Greenwich.
Here an examination of the clothing
was made, but no clue to the mans
identity was found, for a red cotton
handkerchief, an old Jackknife. and
piece of black comb were all that was
found. The coat is of sack pattern,
faded on the shoulders. once black, and
a small plain figure woven in the cloth.
The vest and trousers are of black di-
agonal worsted. The outer shirt Is OF
a grayish material. negligee pattern.
and the undershirt is blue. No hat was
found. Black leather shoes that had
been re-soled covered the feet.
On the right cheek there is severe
confusion an inch and a half in diam
eter, another bruise extends for two
inches along the right side of the under
jaw to the point of the chin, and the
right eye is filled with blood, as IL from
blow. In addition to this, the nose
is bruised from the bridge to the tip
and is broken. Slight scratches are to
be seen on the left side Of the face, and
a very little blood had flowed from the
left ear, and the mans neck was brok-
en-. all of which has given rise to
belief that the man may have met his
death by foul play. but the medical ex-
aminer has not yet notified Coroner
Carpenter Of Warwick of the death.
AS far as could be learned the man
was unknown in East Greenwich. and
none OF the bay boatmen are reported
to be missing. and 1t is thought that the
body may be that of one of the stran-
gers who were scalloping in the bay
about the first of the month. The dead
man was about five feet nine inches in
height, weighed about $50 pounds. and
was apparently about 40 years old.
with long yellowish- brown hair and a
thin light moustache.
