Another correspondent sends the following
regarding the finding of the body of Miss Price
Although the body was found Sunday even
ing by Robert Jackson, colored. yet he made
no effort nor called for help to get it from the
water that night. Mr.. Joseph Blair and wife,
of Sparrows Point. were on their way to Bal
timore, about to take the train at Baldwin Sta
ton on Monday morning early. when Miss
Ida Baldwin who, through the Jackson family,
had heard of the finding of the body, told Mr.,
Blair. He and Mrs. Blair and Jackson at once
went to the place in the stream, near Guyton'ss
Mill, and saw the body floating. Mr.. Blair then
waded into the stream and brought it to the
shore. 1t seems it had lodged in sort of cove
between the bank and tree and when jack
son passed the evening before foot was seen
by him. He sent word to DR.. John s. Green,
but was averse to telling anyone else about it.
The body was much decomposed and swollen.
It was wrapped in a blanket to be removed.
and an extra size coffin had to be procured for
it. Miss Prices clothes and coat were on the
body when found. Jackson seemed not to-
want the reward, bat he was prevailed upon to
take it. ~
ut is still a mystery how the bodies were
swept so far down the stream over wire fences,
and when the land along the run does not show
that the water was flooded much above the
banks"
