Uniform and Badge Besides

identity Without Doubt
NO MARKS OF VIOLENCE


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. ls.-The
body of Chief Of Police Biggy, who
was drowned from :he police launch
Patrol opposite Aicatraz Island ID
San Francisco Bay on the night Of
November 80, was found this morn
ing BY the crew Of the freight ferry
boat Transit II was floating off Goat
Island. face upward, with the arms
outstretched The harbor police were
at once notified. and. procuring a
launch, Sergeant Donovan recovered
the remains. The face is very much
dsfgured. but the body has been fully
identified as that Of the dead chief.
When the corpse was taken from
the waters it had on the long coat
and gloves worn by Biggy on the
night Of his disappearance, The
launch with the body landed at the
Mission-street wharf.
Before the launch with Sergeant
Donovan and several police officers
on board reached the place where the
body was FIRST seen, it had been pick
ed up by the crew Of the scow
schooner Georgia Woods, who aided
in transferring it to the police boat.
News Of the recovery Of the remains
spread quickly, and an immense
crowd assembled at Mission street
wharf, where they were landed.
In the presence Of Acting Chief
Cutler, Chief Deputy Coroner Ken
nedy and other officials, search OF
the clothing in which the body was
attired was made Immediately upon
arrival at the morgue. BY means Of
the two badges which Chief Biggy
wore, a locket with his monogram,
q mufiier, stickpin, his police whistle
and other articles, the identification
was made beyond the shadow Of a
doubt.
The watch which Chief Biggy al
ways carried was stopped at o;l2|
O'Clock. So far as could be ascer-
tanned, there we're no papers in the
pockets TO which any significance
could be attached, and it was con-
chded thati Chief Biggy had writ.
ten resignation prepared on the oc-
casion Of his visit to Police Commis-
sion Hugo Keil at the latter's home
in Belyedere, he had disposed Of it
in some manner before he met hr
death.
Much to the surprise Of the search
ers, hammerless revolver, with all
chambers loaded, was found in
pocket, Notwithstanding the fact that
the late chiefs pistol was found af-
ter his death in a restaurant where
he had dinner on the night Of his
death.
There were no marks Of violence
on the body, but an autopsy will be
held to assist, il possible, in clearing |
ip the manner Of death. The inquest
will not be held until next
week,
