IDENTIFIED
BY TATTOOING
Hugh Mcclure Name Of Man
Killed at Claymont.
FORMALLY WORKED HERE
Identification Made by Man who
Picked the Crucifix on the
Lett Breast of the
Victim.

a crucifx tattooed on his left breast a
number Of years ago led to the identifi
cation of the man who was found along
the tracks of the r., w L. B. railroad
near Claymont on last Friday night in
nn unconscious condition and who died
the following morning Mt the Delaware
Hospital. Since that day until yester-
day afternoon the body remained at the
morgue unidentified.
Strange as it may seem the identifica-
ton was made by the man who tattooed
the cricitix on breast of the deceased some
years ago. That man is William Nc
koughan of No. 215 Tilgham street,
Chester, Pa. He came to this city yes
terday and Mt once identified the body
as that Of Hugh Mcclure originally
from Philadelphia, on whose breast he
had years ago tattooed the cricifix. Mr..
Mckoughan said the dead man was Il
boiler maker by trade, about 80 years of
age and single. He was under the i'm
preston that he has two sisters residing
in the neghborhood of Eighth and Gallo
hill streets, Philadelphia. Coroner's
Undertaken Chandler has notified the
Philadelphia authorities to look out for
the women.
The deceased had worked in this city
on several occasions as boiler maker.
He was here on last Thursday and
stopped mt his old boarding house, the
White Horse Hotel. On Friday night he
is supposed to have left the city on a
freight train and met with the accident
which caused his death.
