TWO BOYS FIND
A DECOMPOSED
BODY IN PARK
Run to Town and No.
tify the Coroner.
A SUSPICION OF FOUL PLAY
BULLET HOLE THOUGHT TO BE
IN THE HEAD.
Walter and Frank Greth Discover the
Remains, but Darkness Pre-
vented Deputies From Re
covering Them.

Another mystery Of Golden Gate Park
will remain unsolved until this morning
Yesterday it was reported that the par
TALLY decomposed remains Of a man who
came to his death probably by violence
had been found by two young sons OF Dr.
August Greth as the lads were returning
to this city on foot from the Cliff House
A search under the direction Of one of the
lads was made by Coroner's Deputies La
Combe and Flanagan yesterday afternoon,
but darkness came upon the party before
much could be accomplished. To-day the
mounted police will be dispatched by Cap
tain Thompson of the park and they will
go over the territory in which the body is
supposed to lie.
Yesterday afternoon Frank and Walter
Greth, aged respectively 13 and 10 years,
and residing at $40 Laguna street, visited
the Cliff House. After q bath they con-
cluded TO walk back to the city and gather
flowers on their way. They had Travelled
about a mile when, according TO their
story, they discovered the body Of man
lying near a clumb of bushes. The loca-
ton of their find is described by them as
being near the lake and also in the Vlcln-
ity OF the speedtrack on the north end of
the park. At first they were considerably
frightened, but they remained and took
an observation of the corpse. According
to their statement, a suggestion of crime
is brought into the case.
The boys say that the head, although
badly decOmpOSed, appeared as II LHefe
were a hole in 1t. Thinking that bullet
might have made such a wound, they
searched for a pistol, but were unable to
find any weapon. They also found that
the mans hat and coat were missing. A
strong stencil arising from the body pre-
vented them from approaching very close
Both of the lads then rushed into the
city and notified the Coroner's office of
the ghastly discovery. Deputies La Combe
and Flanagan Immediately drove to the
park, and were met by the eldest of the
brothers, who volunteered to assist them
in locating the body. The party went to
the spot indicated and searched diligently
for nearly an hour. Darkness in the
meantime had come upon them and they
were obliged to abandon their search until
to-day.
Captain Thompson of the park police
was soon notified of the case and met the
CorOner's deputies when they returned
to the entrance of the park. Upon learn
ing that the body had not been found he
arranged TO have a squad of mounted
police cover the ground this morning at 8
O'Clock and continue the search. The Off
GERS are familiar with every inch Of
ground in the pleasure ground and the
captain is confident that the remains will
be recovered before noon. The Coroner 8
deputies state that they have no doubt
a body will be found. They claim that
the boys told a straight story. Walter
Greth will accompany the police in the
morning.

He GAVE THE
"CARR|ON CROWS"
THEIR FEAST
Suicide Leaves a Wild
Note.

Malcolm E. Atkins, residing at 4247
Twenty-fourth street and employed on the
Examiner as compositor, committed
suicide at his home yesterday morning.
A series of fraternal troubles, together
with overwork and Ill health. insugated
his rash act. His body was discovered
by his wife in room filled with gas after
he had been dead several hours. He left
a sensational note, and it is the opinion
of friends that the man was insane when
he took his own life.
Atkins had been employed as q COM
positor for q number Of years. He was
one of the prominent members OF the
Typographical Union and was energetic
in the betterment of its affairs. A short
time ago one of the members had some
financial trouble with the union and was
charged with embezzlement. The accused
was Il warm personal friend Of Atkins
and the latter assisted him in every man
ner in rlghttng himself with his fellow
members. The affair preyed much on At
kns mind. however, and it is believed to
have been in part responsible for the sui
eide. Mrs Atkins also claims that her
husband mad worked much of late and
was run down in health to a great extent.
He had complained frequently of his
health, and il is feared that his mind gave
way under the strain.
Yesterday morning Atkins returned
home from work about o clock. He said
that he was i'll and went Immediately TO
bed. He did not arise at noon yesterday
as was his usual custom. but his wife, re
membering his complaint when he retired,
did not disturb him. AT 8 o'clock yester-
day afternoon she became worried and
went to his room in the upper portion of
the house. She found her husband
stretched out dead on the bed, and the
strong odor of gas told the manner of his
death. The police were called and the
Morgue officials notified. When Deputy
Coroner Mccormack arrived he found the
following note addressed to the dead
mans wifes on the table:
Maggie: have fought off the carrion
crows till my struggle is exhausted, but they
determined to have their feast. Possibly
this will satisfy them Record the gift deed
Immediately and forgive me if you can.
MALCOLM
At the request of relatives the body was
permitted to remain at the home, where
the autopsy and inquest will be held. At
kins was 35 years of age and had no
family save his wife. He was born in
Minnesota. Among his associates he was
known as a popular fellow and his un-
timely death was d surprise TO most of
them.
