IDENTITY MAN
MURDERED NOT
ESTABLISHED
Coroner Holds Inquest Over Decom-
posed Body of Unknown Man
Found in Cottonwoods,

The coroner's jury yesterday fail
ed to establish the identify Of the
body found Sunday afternoon in a
bad state of decomposition in the
cottonwoods about half mile south
of the head of Washington avenue.
The inquest was held at the un-
dertaking rooms of Mrs. L. E. Fat-
coner. There were no papers found
on the body and the only articles
in the clothing were a pair OF gold
trimmed spectacles in folding spec
tacle case and a large barlow pocket
knife. A red bandaua handkerchief
was found near the body when 1t
was discovered.
An examination OF the body
showed that death had been caused
by bullet wound high up in the
forehead. The location of the
wound disproves the theory that the
man committed suicide, because 1t
would have been almost impossible
for him to have held the revolver
in a position it would have had to
have been held to make this wound.
That the man was murdered is
the conclusion generally accepted.
The body was clothed in a white
striped shirt, coat and vest OF
striped grayish material, trousers
# much the same color and material
.ut not Of the same suiting, The
shoes were lace and the toes plain
The trousers were supported by sus.
penders. The body measurement
was approximately feet 10 inches
and weight about 1G0 pounds.
The body appeared to be that oi
man about As years old. An ex'
animation of the teeth showed thai
they were in almost perfect condi
tion and had never had dental at
tention. The head was covered b.
hair of grayish tinge as was ;
small mustache. There was severa
| weeks growth of beard.
DR.. McManus. the coroner, is o
the opinion that the man has beer
| dead for two or three weeks, per
haps longer, according to the stat
OF decomposition.
The face is in such blackene'
and decomposed condition that th
| features could not be defined.

1t was disclosed in statement is
sued by the French government to-
night that Turkey, in reply to
note presented by Russia, England
and France on Friday, agreed TO re-
call her fleet from the Black Sea,
but refused to dismiss the German
officers from her ships. 1t was be-
lieyed she could not maintain pas
aive attitude without doing this.
The Ambassadors of Russia, France
and England have left Turkey.
There is every reason to believe
that the apology asked by the en-
tente will not only demand repara-
tion for the warlike operations OF
the Turkish feet in the Black Sea.
hut will insist that Turkeys entire
feet or at any rate the cruisers Goe-
ben and Breslau be put out of COM
, mission until after the war.
This would give Russia such su-
periority in tho Black Sea that
there would be no danger of Turk
i3h raids 1t Is suggested also that
rehabilitation of the Turkish army
would be demanded which would
mean that their troops which had
crossed the Egyptian frontier would
he withdrawn.
