Walked About Till He

His Body, Almost Naked,
Found Frozen Stiff at
Rumford Today.

The village Of Rumford. in the town
Of East Providence. has had another
ghastly tragedy: but, unlike the lass
preceding affair. 1t was not a murder,
although for an hour or two that pre-
sumption was raised. 1t was for the
reason that there was no weapon found

advanced that foul play had been re-

At $3.50 O'Clock this morning Charles
Bredersen and Perry Fairfield employ
ed at the American Electrical works,
in Phillipsdale, were on their way ia
work. They were traversing the high
way which inlersects the road over
which the Rumford trolley cars run

signated. About 200 yards in from this

stable Martin Johnson was on the spot.
and had taken charge Of the body, and
had sent for Medical Examiner ALI
son.
Presently there was a crowd Of viii
layers on the spot. and these people be-
gan an investigation OF their own. They

found that the mans throat had been
standing just off the highway, and op-
posite Benoney Anness' residence.
There a few spots OF blood were found,
and by these spots the man was traced
over criss-cross route, which he took,
TO get TO an open field. Wherever he
had stopped for moment there was
found small pool OF blood, but from
the scattered spots elsewhere Il was
evident that the hemorrhage was not
a severe one and that the death agony
was long drawn out.
When the suicide reached the open
lot he took off his bvercoat and threw
that on the ground. A few feet farther
on he discarded his undercoat, then his
vest, then his linen and lastly his un-
dershirt. so that the upper portion OF
his body was completely naked. and he
was sure to freeze to death, even II he
did not die from the loss Of blood.
Just beyond the spots where the coats
were deposited a bunch OF keys and a
brass tag were found. The latter led
to the mans identification. as A. @.
Beatty -machinist employed at the
Potter & Atherton shop, just over the
line. in the city of Pawtucket.
Beatty was an EHglisman and about
40 years old.
Medical Examiner Allison found in
the pantaloons pocket a large jack
knife, which had been shut up after 1t
was used. Both the blade and the han
die were smeared with blood, which
goes TO sustain the suicide theory.
The body was removed TO an UNDER
takers rooms at Watchemoket, and will
be delivered to the friends of the de-
ceased, either this afternoon or tomor-
row morning The presumption is
that Beatty took his life some time af-
ter midnight, as the body was frozen
