THOUGHT TO BE C0CHNOWER.
Police Try ng to Identify Body of
River Victim.

The body Of the young man found In
the river some weeks ago on Bryau's
Point, and which the police Of this city
have been using every effort TO identity
since its first discovery. is believed TO be
that of George F. COchnower. twenty five
years OF age. a resident Of this city, who
up TO the time Of his disappearance. more
than a month ago. had been employed as
a night clerk in the Mount Vernon Hotel
on Four -and-a-half Street northwest
This conclusion was reached this morn
ing after the police boat Vigilsnt returned
from a trip to the place where the body
was buried. George F. Cochnower. father
OF the young man. and Detective Sergeant
Miller, who was assigned to make the trip
by Captain Boardman. chief of detectives.
had visited the grave.
Young CochnOwer was well known in
the vicinity OF Four -and-a-haIf and Penn
sylvania Avenues, and only about three
weeks before his disappearance was mar
ried TO a young woman residing in West
Virginia. The pair came 20 this city after
the wedding, and for several weeks after
ward stopped in a local hotel COchnower
having been promised a position in the
Census. The position in the Government
employ failed TO mateTialize, however.
and on Sunday morning about three
weeks ago young COchnOwer disappeared,
leaving no trace behind. His wife IN the
meantime returned to her home In West
Virginia.
The remains we're exhumed this morn
ing but Mr. COchnOwer was unable 10
identify them. Ne thought. however, that
the clO-hing resembled that worn by his
son at the time OF his disappearance. The
investigation is to proceed further.
