hope of a reconciliation between him and
his wife was to place the baby in his care

Justice Cole after hearing both sides
of the case stated that he would con-

MAY BE A MURDER.
Body Showing Violence Found Float
ing Nepr Marshall Hail.

What may develop into a murder was
brought to light yesterday by the finding
of the body of man apparently about
forty years of age, floating in the Poto-
mac 2t Gunson's Wharf, four miles below
Marshall HaIl. Md. The remains were
taken from the river by John Sheppard.
a resident of the neighborhood. and turn
ed over to a constable. Indications of foul
play apparent. the head of the man
being hacked in several places. Evidently
the remains had been in the water
month or more and Identification is i'm
possible. An inquest will probably be
held today by the Maryland authorities.
News of the finding of the body was
reported to Harbor Master Sutton last
night by Capt. Harry Randall. of the
steamer Randall. According to his story
it appears that Sheppard was out in his
boat inspecting several nets, when he saw
the body and rowed out to investigate.
Because the remains were en.angled in
the meshes of long trap net, it took
some time to free them, and tow them to
the shore. Sheppard made the body fast
to a stake al the wharf about noon and
notified the constable. who viewed the
remains. Sheppard. with others, was told
to be present this morning at an enquiry
into the manner in which the man met
death.
Theories were numerous yesterday as to
the case, but there appears to be little
doubt that the man was murdered and
his body thrown into the river. Whether
the crime took place here or at any I-cint
on the river front is yet TO be determined.
Examination of the body shows marks
Of violence, especially about the head and
neck The body was but partially clothed
in a brown cotton shirt. black trousers,
and sharp pointed shoes. The hair of
the man is dark, and he is IF medium
build Nothing was found in the cloth

far as known. there is nobody reported
missing from the locality who would an

in the river.
Captain Randall reported that consid-

impossible, and nothing is brought to
light at the hearing this morning. how

led near the spot to which it was towed
and made fast Yesterday.
