A PICTURE RESEMBLING HIl

| y
1 Undertaken A. Borders believes he
has discovered the relatives of G. A.
Caldwell, the pseudo federal detec-
| tive who was found dead about fifty
feet from the Santa Fe tracks near
Algadones on the morning of Novem-
Der last. A picture which striking
ly resembles Caldwell was received
today by the undertaken from Gath
ersburg, Md. Assistant Chief of Po-
lice Kennedy was shown the picture
and after carefully scrutinizing the
features of the dead man who lies at
the undertaking parlors, he declared
the likeness is striking, although the
photograph, which was evidently
taken at sea, is rather indistinct, ow-
ing to the absence of background and
the resultant contrast. The picture
Is that of a naval officer with glasses
in his hand.
Later Chief McMillin looked at the
picture. He is in doubt about the re-
semblance. pronouncing the naval
officer a younger man than Caldwell.
Il do not think they are Identical,
he said, although there is POSSIBLE
| ity that he is the one"
Other details confirmed chief Nc
Millin's opinion that Caldwell is not
the man the Maryland people are
seeking
Ben Williams, chief of the secret
service department of the Santa Fe
between albuquerque and Kansas
City, compared the photograph and
| the corpse this afternoon and said
that they were as much alike as a
| picture and corpse could be, and that
in his opiniol the corpse was that ol
the Maryland man.
Two physicians compared the pic
ture with Caldwell and declared the
resemblance was pronounced.
The letter, which was written by
John w. Fish, evidently a farmer be

Mr.. Fish saw a story published in

description of the man found neal

The thumb nail on CaldwelPs lef
hand has evidently been mashed, bu
the undertaken believes his relatives
may be- mistaken about which hand /
was. Therg is no evidence Cf Jatto'
marks on MS hand, but as these az
discolored at this time and the mark
are said to be faint, il Is impossible
TO determine whether there is a tat
too mark on either Of them.
Mr.. Borders will probably have
photograph made of the body he j
holding here which will be iorWarde
to the people in Maryland who an
