by Levi J. Dale. colored watchman.
early this morning. who Immediately no
titled the police. and the body was re-
moved to the morgue.
Dale was engaged in removing leaves
from the race near the city pumping
station shortly after midnight when he
made his gruesome find. owing to the
slight build of the figure he thought the
body was that Of a boy, and so notified
the police. The patrol wagon was dis
patched to the pumping station and when
the officers dragged the body from the
water they found il was that Of a man.
A hasty examination Of the mans pos
sessions revealed several empty pay en-
velopes bearing the name OF Thomas
Gardner and also a letter showing that
he had been employed as a weaver in

Gardner recently came to Wilmington
from Chester and secured employment in
the Delaware Mills. He boarded at No.

would take a walk in Brandywine Park
