Unfortunate Man Who Was Accident
ally Drowned Saturday Night,

Eugene F1y1ns body was found floating
IN the. river near Alexandria about 0
o'clock this morning The body was sight
ed by the crew of the police boat and about
the same time it was secured by resident
Of Alexandria who was on the river in a
small boat. Members of the crew of the

IT. to the city. The superintendent of the
morgue took charge of the body and re-
moved it to the morgue where 1t was view
ed by Coroner hewitt.
Being satisfied that Flynn's death was
not the result Of foul play the coroner gave
a certificate of accidental death 1t was
apparent from the condition of the remains
that the body had reached the surface of
the water only short time before it was
found, as 1T was in good state of preser-
walton and was not much swollen.

632 H street southwest. Saturday night
about u O'Clock he left the Ferns wharf
in small craft with four companions who
reported that he fell overheard about 230
o'clock in the morning near the Long
bridge. His body, it is believed, came to
the surface near Shepherds and was driven
by the wind across the river toward Alex
andria.
After the coroner had given the death
certificate an undertaken took charge of
the body, under the direction of the dead
mans family. His funeral will probab ly
take place tomorrow morning.
