he lived, but further than that, said
little At the hospital. after being
given warm bath and stimulated he
! seemed to brighten and said he felt
better.
When asked where he had been, he
told rambling stories, saying, however,
that he had been in the woods for four
days. He also asked for a bottle of
beer saying that was the only thing
that would do him any good. There
was no pulse, and his temperature re-
manned very low About 730 O'Clock
the nurse noticed sudden change in
the patient, and within ten minutes he
was dead.
Andrews was discovered yesterday
afternoon about o'clock by Thomas
Brown of is East Shelby street, Corne-
Illus Kennedy Of IA Gage street, and
Martin Nee of rs Gage street. Brown
said he saw the man lying on the
ground about O'Clock when he passed,
but thought nothing of the matter at
the time.
Two hours later the party saw the
man in the same position, and, think
ing he might be dead, went to him.
Nee kicked the mans foot to rouse him
in case he was sleeping, and the man
opened his eyes and spoke. Kennedy
then started on the run to notify Off
Ger John Dunn, who lives at the corner
Of Larkin and Shrewsbury streets. OH
Ger Dunn telephoned police headquar-
ters and the ambulance was sent out
with officer A. f. Roach and Driver
Wilson. The message said man had
been found, that worms were craving
from his ears, but that he was awe.
The opinion at headquarters was thaI
another suicide had been found.
The mans clothes were soaked, show
he had been exposed to the rain OF the
past few days. His garments, While OF
good material, showed evidence OF hare
usage and looked as though he hao
spent some time lying about IN the
woods.
He was found lying partially on his
back, with his hands over his breast
The left side of his head rested on the
ground, the left ear presenting a mos1
revolving spectacle. Two pint TASKS
one empty and the other containing
about a drink of whiskey, We're touno
by his side.
Michael Flemming of 14S Shrewsbury
street says he saw the man about the
neighborhood last Friday. lie was
then trying to procure a cap, hnally
purchasing one from boy for 20 cents
The man was drunk at that time.
Another man said he saw Andrews
come out of the woods a day or two
before and try to sell harmonica tc
boy for cents. Others said they
say the man sitting on the steps of a
house near East Park. Saturday.
Andrews told the officers he was q
member of a New York lodge of Ma
sons Subsequent investigation at his
room disclosed his Masonic regalia
which bears the following inscription
worked in blue silk: George w. An
drews, F. & A. NJ, Mum Lodge, No
1870, New York Entered May 10, 1888;
passed Nov. 8, 1888; raised Dec. IA
1885"
On his suspender was found an iden-
tification buckle, bearing the following
inscription: For Identification, teleg-
raph this number No. S017, to the
United States Indemnity Society, Wor-
cester, Mass
Il am a member of the L. S. /. s.,
and they will care for me if am sick
injured or in trouble
A special delivery letter, postmarked
Clinton, was left at his room last
week, but he did not return and the
letter was taken back to the post office
The Howes are at a loss to account
for Andrews conduct. He always APP
peared we'll and was generally liked by
the family.
The only explanation they can make
is that he became insane through drink
and wandered away, finally meeting q
terrible death
Andrews only known relative is the
brother in New York, who is married
and has family in that city.
