FINDING OF HIS CLOTHES
CLEARS UP GRAY MYSTERY
After Thorough Investigation Police Uncover No Clew
Pointing to Murder-Drag for Head, but
Efforts Prove Unsuccessful

So far as the police are concerned. the
finding Of the headless body Of DR.. Will
lam A. Gray clears up the mystery which
shrouded the aged druggists disappear
ance from Georgetown University Hos
pital on March /. Detective Larry O'Dea.
after spending a day of laborious WORK.
last night reported to the Central Office
that theres was not a single circumstance
pointing to murder.
The finding of the coat and vest near
the spot where the body was recovered
disproves the theory of murder. The
clothes were found about 2 o'clock by the
harbor precinct police. and although they
continued to drag for the head until darn,
their efforts were unsuccessful 1t is the
theory Of the police that the head is in
the vicinity Of the place where the body
was found. This statement is strength
ened by Policeman Farquhar. who said
the back Of the neck seemed to be bleeu-
ing, as If the head had just left the body
when 1t was brought to the surface.
DR.. Gray had a thick beard, and II is
possible that it became entangled In the
deep underbrush at the bottom of the
creek.
Coroner hewitt viewed the body at the
morgue yesterday morning and ordered
an inquest tomorrow morning.
In the clothes found yesterday after
noon were a pocketbook and purse. $l1.
and several car tickets. In the vest
pocket was found his watch, which had

stopped at TAB o'clock. The police be-
lieve that this is the time the body went
into the water.
1t was about o'clock on the evening
Of March l that Crossing Policeman
O'Brien saw DR.. Gray as he walked to-
ward the canal and it is believed that
at the pace the old man was walking
he would have reached the canal abou:
that time.
Opinions as to whether he committed
suicide or slipped into the ca1al seem
to differ. 1t Is well known that in the
Doctors feeble condition he might
have walked toward the canal and
stepped overheard from the stone Incl
bank. On the other hand. some Of the
police officials seem to think the Oil
men tried to ease the burden OF others
and do away with himself.
The police agree on the theory that
the head was knocked of by q passing
canal boat or that 1t was cut of by the
steam dredge- that has been work NJ in
the vicinity of the place. This last
theory is strengthened by one Of the
men working on the dredge. who said
that several weeks ago he thought rhc
shovel brought a human body 20 the
surface. At the time he told his fellow
workers Of his opinion. but they laughed
at him.
Funeral arrangements will not be
made until after the inquest tomorrow.
