Justice of the Peace Bowie of Fairfax
county, who has been making efforts to as
certain the identity of the young man who
was killed by a Southern railroad train
south of this city Tuesday, is now con-
WINGED that the name, Thomas Muldoon,
found in a letter on the person of the de-
ceased, was assumed, and that his true
name was James Dee. From examination
of the letter it was found that the writer
had been in some trouble and had attempt
ed to disguise his identity. He spoke of re-
turning to his home soon, but there was no
address nor anything definite to suggest to
the coroner where he resided before coming
to this vicinity. In one of his pockets was
a card with the address. Mr. Daniel +.
Freeley, Fort Myer, Virginia. He obtain
ed work on the construction force of the
railroad last August and was known as a
good hand. 1t was said that he had served
| in the British army, and it was thought
that he might also have been an American
soldier, as he wore a regulation army hat.
The remains are still being kept at De-
maine & Sons undertaking rooms on King
street. in the hope that some communica-
ton may be received from his friends.
