Rolled lnlo River VIhie InIoxica.ed
Decomposed Body of Thomas Murphy Panfeld Blacksmith Formerly of Norwich Found by Boys in Quinebaug River Friday Afternoon-Went on Fishing Trip Last Saturday and Missing Since

Missing since last Saturday night. the decomposed body of Thomas Mur phy, of Plainfeld, formely of this city and wheelwright, was found float ing in the Quinebaug river Friday afternoon. The discovery, which made certain the fate that had been an ticipated possible for Murphy was made by Alfred Sexnino a PackerviIle youngster, who had gone to the river with the idea of possibly finding the body. It had been caught in the bushes near the shore under a high bank, at a point in the river below Packerville and about opposite the Waldo place. The spot is about half way between Canterbury and South Canterbury.
 The find was made by young Semino and boy companion at 630 o'clock and word was later sent to Medical Examiner W. w. Adams of Moosup who got down to the point at ten o'clock and proceeded with his investi- gation under the rather uncomfortable conditions. The body. which was bad ly decomposed by it's stay of nearly week in the water had to be ex- tricated from the bushes in which it was caught and this was found no easy task. Then 1t had to be lowed across the river with a roWboat, because of the high bank on the side where the corpse was found.
 Positive identification could not be made Friday night, for it was a late hour when the body was recovered, and Murphy had not many &C.,

quantainces in Plainf1eid, for he had his boarding house said that it was he and two Norwich men who were in the village confirmed this opinion Medical Examiner Adams will there fore continue his investigation today and make Identification complete.
 The events that led up to Mur- phys drowning began with fishing trip last Saturday, a Plainf1eld man named Howes going along as his companion. The men had a consider able quantity of liquor with them, at least two quarts it was said Friday night by acquantances, and the probabilities are that the fishermen imbtbed freely. They lay down un- der tree near the river bank. When HoWes aWoke about midnight Satur- day his companion was gone. It looks as if he had rolled down the bank. At any rate he was fished out of the water Friday and there were no evidences of foul play
 Murphy was a man of about 35 or 40 years of age, said to be a native of Greenwich L. l. He had no relatives acquaintances in this city said last night, and his disposition has been that of rover, though he had work ed many years in this city. About two weeks ago he left the employ of Lawrence Healey of this city and went to work in the blacksmith shop of William Garfield, in Jewett City. He 1t said to have been a member of the New London camp of Spanish War VetranS

FIRE pEPARTMENT CALLED
 OUT AT TWO THIS MORNING Cigarette May Have Caused Blaze in Partitions at 20 North Thames Street

The fire department was called out at two o'clock this morning flor nre at No. 20 North Thames street in the house owned by Hertz Brothers and oc- cupied on the ground floor by the bakery of Yernan and Meyer and in the tenement above by MT. Yerman, his wife and four children. MT. Yer man was awakened shortly before two o'clock by a man who works for him and who was attracted by the sight of smoke issuing from the upper win dowS of the house. MT. Yerman aroused his wife and children and then ran up to Chemical company No. on West Main street. Policeman Mcf'ad- den at about the same time saw the smoke and went to box 14 at the cor ner of West Main and Thames streets and pulled the lever at 1.55. The auto chemical the two chemical compaies, the truck and the two steamers re- sponded and two lines of chemical hose were laid and four water lines.
 Chief Stanton found the fire burn- ing hotly inside the partitions up as high as the second floor. It had not started in the bake shop as all the fires had been allowed to go down at sundown Friday, but the circumstances seemed to show that someone dropped a cigarette into an airspace between the Hertz house and it's neighbor. This caught in some rubbish probably, burn ed through the sill and ran across the floor joists and into the partitions. There was a dense smoke coming out of the walls To get at the flames it was necessary to rip the metal ceiling in the bakeshop, but this done, the wa ter was played into the blaze and It was soon under control. The bakers stock in the rear of the shop was soaked, but the flour and other ma teriaI kept out in front was not dam aged to any great extent. Upstairs considerable water was used. The re- call sounded at 2.20. This fire. was the seventh bell alarm of the month. The loss was probably several hun drea dollars
