ALLOW ii TO be Concealed if
Found in This County.
VISIT TO SADIE PANCOAST
Eyre Called on Philadelphia Girl
on the Morning he Went Away
on His Fatal Cunning
Trip and She Urged
Him Not to 60.

There is a growing belief that the body
Of George Il. Eyre viii finally be found
in the Delaware river between this city
and Chester, 1t Is most likely now under
the ice near the Delaware shore and IN
cLosH proximity to this city.
As the tides in the river run down for
seven hours and then up for i've hours
there is gain oftwo hours for the down
ward tides, and the body even il it were
midway between Chester and Whining
ton would reach this city sooner than
Chester.
Deputy Coroner Giles said last night
that he believed that the body would be
picked up near this city. When IN
Chester the other day he told the officials
of that county he would get the body be-
fore they would.
Coroner Vandever, in case the body is
found within this county or il brought
into this county, will see that the laws
Of the State are carried out.
| In case there is an attempt upon the
part OF any persons, who are working
ior the big rewards offered for the recoy-
cry OF the body, to conceal the body or
teal' il out Of the State, he will have the
parties arrested.
The murder hypothesis has now been
abandoned by nearly every one having
anything to do with the case.
Il is believed that Eyre's boat upset
sonlew here in the channel; that it drilted
until the wind drove various parts
ashore, and that the boat itself will be
| found near where the parts were found.
The latest thing to be picked up was a
paddle, found near Edgemoor. The first
Jar was found at Stubbs Pier, the boat
bottom Mt the lighthouse at tile mouth
Of the Christiana, and the second oar
midway between these places.
