FOundkin Staten Island Sound
Near Tremley Point and
Taken to Elizabeth.
WAS NOT IDENTIFIED.
Mrs. Gardner Called at the Morgue this
Morning and Said the Body was Not
that of Her Son-Had Been in the Wat
er a Long Time and the Finding Of
Messengers Body Led to Suspicion.

What was thought to be the
body of William Gardner. who
has been missing from his home, on
North First street, this city, since
March 30, was found floating in the
waters Of the Kills at Tremley Point,
some distance this side of Eliza beth.
at Z O'CLOCK yesterday morning. 1t
was against the piling of the dock of
the Graselli Chemical Works, and was
discovered by John Lund, an employe
Of the company.
A report from Elizabeth states that
the man was about thirty years of
age, about five feet six inches in
height, 140 pounds in weight, and had
black hair and smooth -shaven face.
The body was examined ny County
Physician Wescott. This description
fits Gardner to nlcety. The pockets
contained So bill, five cents, n
comb. knife, key, white handkerchief
and paper Of Ivanhoe tobacco.
The theory that the body may be
that of Gardner is strengthened by
the facts that it was badly decon
posed, having been IN the water some
time, and that it had evidently floated
up on the high tide from this city.
The dead man was clothed in a black
diagonal suit, black outing shirt,
black shoes and cotton socks, and
fleece lined underclothing. There were
no marks on the person, except that
the flesh had been inibbled by fish.
The man had evidently come to his
death by accidental drowning. The
body is at Martins Morgue, Eliz-
abeth.
Gardner's s mother called at Martins S
Morgue this morning and viewed the
body. Although the features were
not recogn liable, Mrs. Gardner said
that the body was not that of her son,
because his hair was not as daIk as
that OF the doomed man, and the key
found in the latter = pockets docs not
correspond with any possessed by
Gardner Further, when he disaD-
peared, the local man wore checked
suit, whereas tho body was clothed
III n suit of black diagonal.
Speaking with News reporter over
the telephone, Mr. Martin said /:
"Mrs. Gardner was able to tell that
the body was not her sons. We now
have several reasons to think that it
is the body of Newark man, VINO
has been missing for some time.
