Said Il Had Probably Been In The Water Three
Weeks No Indications OF vIolsncs.

About quarter of 10 O'Clock this
morning as tug Walter Il. Sutton wax

had the body alongside where il was
found ia be phe remains of "a man,

$50 pounds and apparently about 80
years OF age. The face was smooth
shaven and the hair brown and closely
cropped. Two teeth, front, were miss
ing from the upper jaw.
The body was attired in n wooden
undershirt and cotton drawers a white
bosom shirt, blue sack undercoat, vest
and trousers. congress shoes not much
worn and a brown overcoat that had
seen great deal of service. In a vest
pocket was an Elgtn watch. enclosed

watch was attached To a horse hair
chain.
The body was taken from the water
and laid on the wharf. Medical Exam
iner Palmer viewed the remains and
ordered them conveyed to Undert.ker
Monahan's establishment where they
now await Identification.
1t was evident that the body had
been in the water for about three
weeks IL was in a state OF advanced
decomposition. one OF the arms being
almost gone from the trunk. There
were no marks of violence visible about
the body, no marks of any description
other than might have been received
under the water.
It Is just possible that the body may
be that of Walter Whall. who disap-
peared from his lodging place at %
Washington street about three weeks
ago. WhaH came from Boston and was
about 80 years of age. He compounded
and sold a cleanser for clothing. In
some respects. height age and COM
