He Set Free by the Coroner.
The hope OF the police to obtain an identi-
fcation of the nude body taken out of the
Harlem River last Tuesday was disappointed
again yesterday, although a score OF per-
Sons went 70 the Morgue to have look
at it. Several supposed identifcations
we're disproved by the turning up of the
man thought to be dead. Thus Arthur j.
Wills, the former employee OF the United
States Mortgage and Trust Company,
whose friends feared that he might be
dead, communicated in person with THE
SCN yesterday to let all concerned know
that he was alive.
The inquest will be held this morning
before Coroner Brown. " will probably
result in tho discharge Of the two suspected
negroes, Joseph Wilson and Charles Carter,
az The story Of their accuser, Edward Cot
on, has been proved to be false.
An afternoon newspaper printed an
alleged identification Yesterday, but failed

chant named F. P. Wilson was said to have
recognized the body as that OF a man with
whom he travelled on train from Phila-
d"lphia to this city last Saturday.
Wilson was said to know nothing more
of the man than that his name was Cole
and that he sold tea Wilson, according to
ne same paper. was too busy to 60 to the
