the deepest mysteries ever presented 20 the
Navy Department. is believed 10 have peen
solved by the firding Of a suicides body at
San Pablo. near Jacksonville. Fla Actins
Secretary Winthrop received report TO-
day from the secret agents Of the Depart
ment Of Justice who had worked on the
case ever since the officer disappeared rom
the Mare Island navy YARD, where he COM
manded the naval prison. The report tcnos
to show that man living under the name
of Captain J. II. Pond. Uho took his own
life at San Pablo several weeks ago, was
in reality Captain Matthews.
The identification is not yet regarded as
absolutely conclusive. but officials OF the
Navy Department were so deeply Impressed
with the findings OF the agents Of the De-
partment OF Justice that they said little
doubt remained that the body was that OF
the missing officer. Mr. Winthrop late to-
day teiegraphed 20 Captain Matthews
mother. in California, advising her of the
finding of the body. with indications that II
that of Ter son.
Captain Matthews disappeared from the
Mare Island yard on February last. He
had leave Of absence for three days. and
when he failed to appear when 1t expired
a worldwide search was Instituted bv the
Navy Department. Ii was believed that
the officers mind had been affected by the
death Of his father and that he was wan
dering about or had taken his life.
Only in the last few weeks was tangible
clew obtained, and this indicated that the
Young officer had been through a series OF
adventures AZ 20 be the theme Of a melo-
drama He wrote a detailed letter 10
brother officer in the Philippines, declaring
that shortly after his disappearance he had
crossed the international border and en-
listed in the Mexican revolutionary army
When the revolution ended he returned 10
this country. and said he intended 10 go 20
Florida. where ne would end It all. The
recipient sent the letter TO the Secretary OF
the Navy
With this cew the detectives turned their
attention toward Florida and soon found
race of d CAPTAIN Pond, whom they sus-
pected OK being the missing officer. Aru-
cles Of clothing OF the suicide are now on
the Way to Washington for further idenu-
fication by his brother officers.
Captain Matthews would soon have been
promoted to the rank Of major. Before his
disappearance he had an unblemished rec
crd in the marine corps. having served In
the Spanish war and in the Philippines. He
was born in New York thirty-one years ago
and was appointed TO the marine corps
