PROBABLE MURDER.
MutiIated Body Of George curtin
Found in a DOck-Beiieyed 10 nave
Reea Murdered ami Robbed


MutiIated Body Of George Curtin
Found in Dock-Beilevtu 10 iA''
Been Murdered ami Robbed
The mutiIated body Of white man
WAS found 10 the dock at the foot oil
Faystte alley shortly before ten o'clock
this morning BY Messrs. Walter Padgelt
and Ashby Goram, who we're at the time
engaged in dragging the dock for a lost
anchor The body after having been
brought to the surface was towed ashore
where it was taken in charge by Officers
knight. Roberts and Henderson, ind
DIR. Purvis, the coroner, notified.
The remains were 10 bad condition,
there being every evidence to show that
thew had been in the water some time.
There we're remnants of white shirt, a
light undershirt and drawers on tie
body. rhe neck was broken, horrid
cash was under the chin, the top of the
head was crushed, one leg broken and
the inteslines were protruding from the
left side. The arms were crossed upon
the breast. and as the waves swayed the
body to and fro a CHASTITY spectacle was
presented.
The body was apparently that ola man
whom no one at first could identity,
and its condition gave rise to many
speculations. 1t looked as though the
unfortunate man had been victim OF
foul play. Other', however, suggested
that the body might have been struck by
the propeller by a steamer
The remains we're placed in charge Of
Demaine d Son, preparatory to the sum-
moning of cOroner's inquest.
DR.. w. NJ. Smith performed an autoP-
sy this afternoon. The inquest WILDE
held tomorrow.
II soon became noised around that the
body was that of George Curtin, a we'll
known young man, who has been miss
ing between two and three weeks, and a
number of persons, including relatives,
went to the undertakes establishment to
view the body. Some were convinced
that the remains were those OF MIR. Cur
tin, but Others we're equally sure they
we're not.
Later. however, the body was fully
identified as that of Mr.. Curtin.
The deceased disappeared shortly be.
fore Christmas, and when last seen was
on north Lee street at late hour at
night. He had, il is said, between 500
and 5000 on his person at the time. The
fact that the body was almost nude lends
color to the belief that the unfortunate
man was murdered and robbed of his
money and part Of his clothing, and that
his body was subsequently thrown into
The river. He leaves widow and two
children, who live on north Henry street.
Mr.. Curtin was about rs years old.
