NO MARKS
ON HIS
BODY.
This Unknown Man May Have
Been Robbed, Then Thrown
Into tho River.

Portland. Me. Oct. 2l-The body of q
richly dressed man about 50 years old
was found floating I'm the harbor here
this morning. Ia a pocket of the dead
mans clothing was found card bearing
the name OF Walter Hoyt IS Fifth ave-
nue. New York"
The man weighed about 175 pounds, was
five feet eight inches in height. had a
heavy dark mustache, tinged with gray,
very heavy eyebrows and was slightly
bald When found there was only six
cents in m1ucy IN the pockets.
Attached TO the waistcoat was a watch
chain. but there was no watch. The
police think It possible thar the man was
robbed during the night and tnen thrown
into the water.
There were no marks upon the body,
however, which would lead to the belief
that he had been assaulted The man
had been dead only five or six hours.
After making az thorough an eNamtna-
tion as possiblepolice later concluded the
man met his death either by suicide or
accident. The absence of any marks OF
violence upon the body aud the fart that
the inside coat and waistcoat OF the We
tim were closely buttoned when the body
was found, goes pretty far they say TO
disprove their early belief that the man
was robbed and thrown into the harhor.
The watch chain found hanging 10 the
waistcOat was not an expensive one, and
the clasp at the end was unbroken Po-
lice are inclined TO believe the man after
having exhausted his funds, pawned the
watch and that when the proceeds from
this transaction were used, was despond
ent and took his life.
