BODY OF H. ). [, ROY
 IS IDENTIFIED Question as to Who is Entitled

DISAPPEARED JANUARY 26

Selma. March 4-(SpeciaL)-J. C. Booth, in whose saloon in Montgomery H. D. C. Roy was last seen, and MT. Lowery, bridgekeeper near Montgomery, positive ly identified the body found in the river here yesterday as that of II. D. c. Roy, who has been missing since January 26. There is a reward of $500 for the finding of the body, and it is possible that there may be some question as to who is en- titled to the reward. Officer W. L. Holt believes that he should have the reward. Speaking of the matter today he said;
 "I was standing on the bridge Sunday morning and saw body pass by. l im- medlately went for Coley Pegues, better known as "Piggie" and told him to get boat and we would go after the body. l did not know anything about there being a reward of $500 out for any body, but had heard something about a reward of s25. 'Piggie" started for the boat and Levert Hatcher came up and said l had better let him go along as he was q good oarsman. l told them to get the boat and come back for me. l saw them start with the boat after bailing It out on the southsde of the river and then saw them stop at MT. Crawfords launch. I hastened over to the boat house on the opposite side of the river and asked where the negroes had gone, they hay ing pulled across the river to town as was going to the launch. l was told that they went for a new battery for the launch and as soon as they returned puf- suit of the bould would commence.
 "I went down the river in the launch the boat with the two negroes being lowed behind. Upon reaching the whart on our return l turned the body over to Coroner Brislin. 1 have notified Marks X Gayle of my claim for the rewards and expect to get it.'
 It is understood that MT. Cawthon De- lieves that perhaps he is entitled to the reward, the body having been recovered through his launch having gone after II.
 Coroner Brislin was awakened last night by three men, strangers to him' Who asked for information about the reward offered for the body. They claimed 10 have seen the body pass under the oildse Just what efforts they claim to nave made in getting the body was not made clear. ,,.,. ..o,
 officer Holt wired Marks & Gayle yes terday at noon that the body ot MT. Roy had been found.

man that curiously looks upon him. That a face sossurely known by the crowds that have witnessed it. should have re- mained so long unnamed is one of the most remarkable mysteries of years.
 Though the body be held until dooms- day, the authorities are determined to unearth something. As an example of the trouble and the expert work they are putting on the case might be noted the fact that Special Detective Wiggins for the sheriff is going the rounds of the shoe stores in an attempt to discover the stock from which the dead mans shoes was bought.
 On the inside of the shoe was the num- Der 590-45149 F. It is an American Gentle man made by the Hamilton Brown Shoe company, vici kid, that had only been worn about two months. It may be this or some other clue, which, when run to ground, may clear away the whole mys- tery. Meanwhile the body will be held until all have seen it. The next one who looks may reveal the identity.
