ALEXANDRIA, VA, January S.The
body OF a man. supposed to be George
Curtin. who has been missing from his
home in this city for the past three
weeks, was found this morning in dock
In the river here The mans throat had
been cut, his face mutiated, his skull
crushed, and his body bruised and bat
tered. Although many people examined
the remains when they were taken from
the water. the question of his Identity
remained in doubt until this afternoon,
when Christopher Curtin, an engineer.
gave the opinion that the dead man was
his son, George, Even in the face of that,
some doubt seemed to remain in the
minds OF several who had known George
Curtin intimately.
1t is stated that Curtin had nearly
500 on his person at the time he dis
appeared. Some of the circumstances lend
color to the suspicion OF foul play, but
it Is said that the facts rather point to
the probability that the man was killed
by being struck by the propeller of u
river craft.
1t was stated by one of his acquaint-
ances that he had had domestic difficulty
and had spoken of suicide. No arrests
n have been made. but the police are con-
Quoting an Investigation. coroner Purvs
will probably hold an inquest Tuesday
morning. Curtin was about thirty five
years of age. He lived with his wife and
two children on Henry Street.

his futile attempt to discover the author
OF an editorial which appeared on Novem-
Der Sth III College Topics, the official

after discussing Carpenters standing as
an amateur, the following language WAS
used:

Mr. Carpenter tells how the paper con
thinning the editorial was kept from his
notice by his felow-students at Blacks

he wrote for all issues OF the periodical
containing any difference to himself, 10
which request reply was received say
ing that there were no copies of the

inai of telegram Greene and John +.
Guynor claim they sent to Attorney Cen
eral Knox while they were in Quebec
early in 1902.
The ple;, in abatement is based upon
tile contention that the grand jury that
found the last bills of indictment against
Greene and the Gaynors had no legal ex-
istence for several reasons. which are
enumerated. The defendants say that
the indictments should be quashed. One
of the contentious Is that the members
of the grand jury We're drawn from the
southwestern division of the southern dis
trict OF Georgia, instead of the eastern
ulVlSlOH. SeCllOnS Ol tne
are quoted to support the contention.
Another contention is that the names

dictments were improperly prepared; that
Judge Speer appointed a Special jury
commission to prepare list of jurors
for this case, and that lie had no au-
thorlty to make such special appoint
ments
