FIND BODY IN RIVER
Glen Echo Officials Believe 1t
Case Of Foul Play.
POCKETS TURNED INSIDE OUT
Remains of Unidentified white VIA n
Discovered About Half "a Nile
Above Cabin John Bridge-Letter
with Writing 0bliterated Only
CIew to identity of Victim.

Mayor John A. Garrett, Of Glen Echo,
accompanied by Marshal Collins. Chief
Deputy Shaw, Ray Brown, Roscoe Roche.
and NInlard Caldwell. about 1 o'clock
this morning found the body Of an uni
Identified white man IN the river a short
distance above Cabin John Bridge Every
indication points 90 foul play.
Mayor Garrett said that about II o'clock
last night II. S. Barbour. Of the National
Museum. called at his home and told him
that while canoeing up the river about
an hour previously he had seen what
looked to him like the body Of a man
washed upon a rock.
As soon as the mayor could marshal his
forces he started out in a boat and pro-
ceeded up the river IN the direction in
dicated by Mr. Barbour. and by making
careful scrutiny Of every rock and crevics
along the shore the body was finally
discovered washed I'D against a rock
about half mile from Cabin John
Bridge Il was tOwed 10 the shore and
there a careful examination of il was
made
Pockets Turned Inside Out.
With one exception all the pockets Of
the mans clothing were turned inside
ont, indicating plainly that robbery had
been committed
The mans head was badly battered in
a manner which Mayor Garrett said he
does not believe resulted from coming in
contact with rocks after the body was in
the water. II is rather the opinion Of the
mayor that the stranger was struck on
the head with some blunt instrument, and
then. after being robbed. the body was
thTOVn into the river.
In the one pocket which had not been
turned inside out was found an envelope
containing "a letter but the address on
the envelope and the writing in the let
ter itself had been OblteTated by the aC-
ton of the water. The only marks dis
cernible on the envelope was part Of the
postmark, which bore the date June

According 10 the mayor the body was
that Of a man about thirty-five years old
Mayor Garrett notified the coroner. who
will summon a jury at 9 o'clock this
morning to make an investigation Of the
