IDENTIFIED As
EvART MAN
BELIEVED THAT JOHN c. FISH
POOL. WElL-TO-DO FARMER,
WAS pRuooEo, ROBBED AND
THROWN INTO WATER.

A post norton examination OF the
body OF ohm A. Fishpool, the Evart
Mich. farmer, which was found float
ing In the river at the foot OF Twelfth
ST. Sunday. was held by County Ply
sicians Stapleton and Grimes, Monday
but failed TO throw any new light on
the mystery surrounding the mans
death. No bruises or other marks in
eating violence were found on his
body. II Is regarded as possible. how
ever. that he may have been pushed
into the river after being robbed. and
while drugged. Coroner Parker has
turned the stomach over 10 County
Chemist Clark for an ANALYSIS OF its
contests. The lungs were filled with
water. indicating that death was due
to drowning.
There Is a theory that Fishpool was
on his way 10 visit Capt. Edward Don
ahue. Of the sand steamer John Otis"
at the time he met his death. The
steamer Is engaged In hauling sand
from Port Huron for the Michigan
Central tunnel and ties up at the foot
Of Twelfth-st. Fishpooi was well ac-
Quainted with Capt. Donahue, having
once made trip with him In the
otis" and II is supposed he was on
his way to the steamer when he either
fell In with thugs. who robbed him
and threw him into the river or that
he accidentally fell to his death. The
later theory Is possible, as there are
several holes In the dock. but 1t does
not explain the empty pocketbocks.
The body lay unidentified In the
county morgue until Monday morning.
when II was identified by James n.

the belief that Fishpool met with foul
play and Coroner Parker Ia inclined
to the same view. He Is conducting
an investigation along this line. as
sisted by the police department.
Fishpool came to Detroit two weeks
ago last Wednesday for a brief visit,
and last Thursday called at the homo
Of his cousin on Napoleon-st. Nothing
further was heard OF him until MS

Fishpool had a considerable sum OF
