ed could see to the thick growth; and a
person hiding in the growth could see the
this growth that Barlow Warren's camp
and hiding place was located, command
ing a clear view of the spot where the safe
had been. The body was found further
down the river on the other side. Every
thing clearly indicated that Warren had
been in his camp when the party reached
the river at S.45 o'clock the morning after
the robbery to raise the safe. Seeing the
numbers and the dogs he evidently at
tempted to get across the river knowing
that he could not be seen. He had jump
ed in with his clothes and weapons upon
his person, and had not counted on the
very swift water ON the opposite side of
the bend His strength must have failed
him when he got into the swift current,
and it is believed the body was carried
under the growth near the bank where it
remained until the freslet came along and
pushed it up on the bank leaving it there
upon receding This theory seems borne
cut from his watch which had stopped at
exactly S.46 o'clock. 1t is believed that
his companions fled down the left bank
of the river without venturing to swim
the stream. The bloodhounds had follow
ed the trail to within hundred feet of
the concealed camp and had wanted to
cross the lagoon. Had they done so per-
haps the other men would have been cap
tured that very day.
An awful sight greeted those who came
to the river bank yesterday morning. The
body had been found with the face ex-
posed to the cartons. Those who found
the body were down the river in
boat placing fish nets when the car
1ions attracted their attention and it
was in this way that the body was
found. The face had disappeared on one
side, and the hair had washed from the
head the skin had come off, and though
the clothing was removed very carefully
yesterday the skin in many places came
off with the clothing. In the mans pock-
cts were found every package G. o. D. di-
rect and G. o. D. return that had been
taken from the express car on the night
of the robbery.
When the reward was offered for the
capture of Warren after the murder of

LITTLE DOUBT ENTERTAINED.
1t now seems to be settled fact that
the body of the man found in the Edisto
river, near Branchville, a few days ago,
is that of Barlow Warren, the alleged
murderer and train robber. A raftman,
who arrived here Saturday afternoon,
claims to have seen Warren last Thurs
day alive and we'll on the Edisto river a
few miles from the scene of the hOld-up
on the Southern, but there is almost every
reason TO believe that the boatman is mis-
taken.
Former Sergt. of Police Hanley, now
a Southern Railway detective, who knew
Warren quite well, and who had seen
him many times, attended the cOroner's
inquest held over the remains of the body.
The detective, in speaking yesterday to 4
Reporter for The News and Courier, stat
ed that there was little or no doubt in the
minds of those who were present at the
that the remains were other
than those of the slayer of Tom Watson.
All the minute physical characteristics Of
Warren were discovered on the body,
even to scar made by the bite Of dog,
which Warren was known to bear
No one seemed to entertain the least
doubt" said Hanley, that it was War
ren's remains" News and Courier.
