Ottumwa, Aug. 2. According to
statements made by Mrs. Albert Head
man of 1874 Havne street, the body Of
the unknown man fished from the Des
Moines river yesterday is that of her
husband. Mrs. Headman says that
Headman, who was until recently en-
ployed in the mines at Lucas. notified
her by letter OF his departure for
home several days ago. but failed to
arrive. She states that she has proof
OF his having a. large sum of money
and gold watch on his person at the
time OF his departure from Lucas.
The description she gives of her hus-
band exactly COMEDIES with that of
the missing man and it is probable
that his body may be disinterred tn
order that she may become satisfied
as to his identity.
AS the body Of the man was badly
bruised about the head and face Mrs.
Headman also advances the theory
that robbery was the incentive Of his
alleged murder. The fact that with
the exception OF a few nickels. MOTH
Ing Of value was found in the dead
mans pockets, gives color to the sup
position.
