UNIDENTIFIED MAN.
HIS DESCRIPTION FITS THAT OF

Theory Of Connors Disappearance.

Another and more definite clue has
Deeu established today concerning fine
/ identity OF the body found floating near
naval wharf No. on Sunday last al
noon, which looks as if it might clear
up the mystery of who the man was
. a,Juougn the question of whether he
/ was murdered or not is yet to be solved
Inc various men stated by their COM
/ radeS as having disappeared have either
[ turned up Indignantly alive, or have
/ Deen eHectually traced and yesterday
after the practical establishment OF
BIoomheld, the deserter from the Ire
dale, at Watmea, the police were tenn
polarily at fault. Late last night how
ever a seaman from the Warren who
/ seemed to answer to the description of
tie dead man, was reported as missing.
Ihe mans name was given as Patrick
ConnOrS and five of his shipmates in
conference with the high sheriff gave
such details of identification as lead To
the colorado suppOsition that he was
the missing man.
ConnOrs is described as slipping away
from the Warren without leave dressed
IN clothes that, according to the evil
dcnce practically tally with those worn
by the dead man. He was tattOOed
with star on the back of his left hand
identically with the unknown man, Wore
ring with blue stone was Apparent
| ly of the same height and general build.
The post mOrtem physician describes
the dead man as partially bald on the
forehead and one of COnnOrs shipmaUes
who has known him for some time and
was a witness for him in a San Fran
cisco police court describes an effect of
badness on COnnOrs that was i'm reality
the result Of a scalp wound gained in
a saloon fight at the time of the police
court episode. COnnOrs is stated as
having a ship stattOoed on his rignC

front teeth were missing, a fact not
brought out at the inquest. Dr. Pratt
VINO conducted the post mOrtcm is on
the other side of the island and it As not
known If he noticed the mans teeth. If
he did and they are missing to cores
pond with the description of COnnOrs
mates the identity of the two men win
be practically settled.
1t is not known what money COnnOrS
had with him when he slipped away
from the transport to stretch his shore
legs. He left several of his clothes be
hind him, a fact which tells several
stories to those acquainted with the
ways of sailors. First, that Connors
intended to return to the ship, as if he
meant permanent desertiOn he would If

have privately made it over to one Of
the crew for as much money as he could
secure.
A theory that is tenable suggests that
as Conners slipped the guard on leaving
the Warren he would attcmptthe same
on regaining his ship. 1t is thought
that he endeayoTed, probably while
drunk to climb around an edge of the
fence that has been erected at the
