left by robbers. On his person were
found number of addressed express
envelopes and two money bags with
money in them. Two pistols were
buckled to the body and a cartridge
belt with cartridges in it. Barlow
Warren's friends who have seen the
body say they think it is his.
THE DESCRIPTION.
The body described is that of a
man of medium size. 5 feet s inches
tall, fully dressed and we'll dressed.
The whole body is slightly decom-
posed, the face not being recogniza-
BILE. The man had full set of good
teeth except that one of the upper
front teeth IS geld filled. He had a
full beard. Of the express envelopes,
one was addressed to J. Warren
Stratton, Athens, Ca; one to D. M.
Degolia, Augusta, Ga.; one to Booth
& Batman, Athens, Ca; and there
was some kind ofpackage addressedto
G. D. Dukes, PregnalPs, S. G. There
were two pistols, one Smith & Wes-
son, five inch barrell, the other 49,
calibre Colts, six inch barrel. He
had cheap Ansonia watch. There
were two money bags found in his
pockets and each contained some
money. This money was not de-
scribed.
The body was found by Cornelius
OFT at Minus landing, Colleton
county. There is a difference of
opinion as to the exact point where
the body was found, whether it was
below or above the spot where the
safe was dumped into the river, but
the best opinion is that it was one
quarter of mile below. Those who
know Warren say that from the ar
ticles found upon the body the indl'
cations are all that it is Barlow War
rem. The teeth, they say, indicate
that it is Barlow Warren.
A very close inspection of the
body and papers has not yet been
made, as it was pulled from the river
on the Colleton side and left on the
bank, where 1t will have to wait the
arrival of the coroner of that county.
There were no evidences of death
from wounds of any kind. The dates
on the postmsrks of the letters and
packages that could be disciphered
was Jan. 81, the night of the hold
up of the Southern train, and the
taking away of the express safe.
