No One Able to Identify BODY at the
MOrgue.


Scores of people visited the morgue today
and made inquiries concerning the descrip-
ton of the body Of a man held there, but
not one of them was able to identify 1t.
The body was found yesterday afternoon on
what is known as Dead Mans Point" be-
tween the Georgetown channel and the
basin. in the vicinity of the bathing beach.
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook. who examined
the remains, found that death resulted from
drowning, but under what circumstances is
not known. There were no marks on the
body to indicate that the man had been
foully dealt with, and there was nothing In
the pockets of the garments except a small
key and comb.
and slightly decomposed the doctor judged
IL was that of a man between forty and
fifty years old, who probably weighed $50
pounds His hair and heavy mustache We're
light. The nail from the index finger OF
the left hand is missing. A vest and pair
of trousers of black material were the
body but there was no coat. Three men,
who were fishing, discovered the body on
the rocks, where IL had been left by the
tide, and notified the police. Soon after
ward the body was removed to tho mergue.
Friends of a number of missing men We're
among those who called at the morguc to-
day. and the superintendent expressed sur
prise that there were so many people miss
ing. But few OF those who called gave their
names or the names of those for whom
they were searching. One man was looking
for his son. who had been missing about a
week. The boy had left home rather sud-
denly after some of his former friends had
threatened to kill him. The father had an
idea that the threats had been put in exc
cution. Another man. for whom search had
been instituted. had threatened to kill him
self, and another was demented.
Unless the body at the morgue is soon
Identified 1t will be buried in potters field.

A thorough chemical examination shows
that American lard Is not only the same as

consistency. but that 1t frequently exceIs In

samples received there was none to be OBJ
