Body Of Man Found In Harbor
 May Be I. Flynn

Bobbing about in the waters of the harbor off the Stake Boat,' the body of an unknown man was discovered this morning by George F. Burr, an oysterman of 104 Highland avenue, and is now at Cullinan & Mullins morgue awaiting identif1cation- Nothing was found on his body to indicate foul play and the theory Is that it is a case of accident or suicide. The condition indicates that there has been several days submersion in the water, aI- though decomposition had not set in sufficiently to prevent identification.
 In his pockets were found a pledge card from Rev. T. J. Picker Of St. Patrick's church to err. Flynn show ing that the unknown took the pledge August 2, 1913. Also an envelope used by the emergency hospital for tablets, bearing the number S0.417 and issued by Dr. J. H. FTnnegan. Another card showed that he has been treated at the St. Vincent's hospital clinic for nervousness. Father Picker and Dr. Finnegan called at the morgue this afternoon in an attempt to identify the body pr. Ffnnegan believes that the envelope is one given to another patient. Father Picker failed Eo rec ognize the body.
 Burr was on his way to the Sound in a sailing oyster boat when the body was discovered. Attaching a rope he lowed it to the lower bridge and notified police headquarters. Captain John H. Began sent Policeman Martin Griffin to the scene and Dr. $. M. Gar lick, medical examiner, was notified and gave permission for the removal of the body.
 The man was apparently about 45 years old and was dressed in a. dark suit, blue shirt, gray sweater-vest and gray and white overal1s He was clean shaven, rather heavy cast of countenance, medium build and ap- parently weighing about 175 pounds.
 There is a resemblance between the remains and Timothy Flynn who was a janitor in the Meigs' building sever al years ago.
