The deeayed condition OF the body was
such that il could not have been recog-
nized except for the clothing The rid
ing pants were familiar to the friends of
the dead man. while his eyeglasses and
his revolver were found beside him
The fact that the body was not dis
covered by the searching party months

The searchers had been within twenty
feet of the body and could see across the
