IN SEA
WITH SKULL
CRUSHED

With fists tightly olenched and arms
bent as If during his last moments of
consciousness he had fought hard
against an impulse to struggle for his
life, the body of Thomas Pease, for
merly assistant district attorney of
Canon City Colo. was found yesterday
at $3.50 o'clock floating close to the
Venice breakwater by w. II. Fair, fish
dealer living at 10 Dorothy avenue.
The body was suspended in the water
until the arrival of Deputy Coroner O..
z. Kirkilie, when it was taken to his
undertaking establishment.
A great gaping wound in the head.
such as might have been made by a
blunt instrument, at first caused the
coroner to think that murder might
have been committed. but as there are
a number of stones used to support
the breakwater at the point where the
body was found it is probable the
wound was made by the body coming in
contact with one OF them.
Was Visiting Sister
From a card in his pocket it was
learned that he had been visiting his
sister, Mrs. William z. Morse, 1906
West Eleventh street, Los Angeles. and
she was at once notified of her
brothers death.
From her it was learned that Pease
was 81 years old. He came to this city
last March. his health having been
broken while he was assistant to his
brother Augustus, district attorney at
Canon City. For several months he was
employed on a ranch in Arizona before
coming to California.
Three weeks ago he came to Venice
and rented tent 314 in the Venetian
Villa city. Yesterday he visited his sis
ter in Los Angeles and left her home at
$3.50 o'clock for Venice. At that time
he was in the best of spirits, as his
health had improved greatly since COM
ing west.
Mrs. Morse states that it is probable
her brother was seized with a fainting
spell while standing on the breakwater.
Late yesterday afternoon an inquest
was held over the body by Coroner
Trout and a verdict of accidental death
by drowning was rendered.
