pier Pile His sepuIcher?

A weird explanation of the disap-
pearance of workman while the Gar
den pier at Atlantic City was in
course of erection, more than a year
ago, is given much credence. 1t was
believed that the workman fell into
the surf and was drowned, but the
present rumor is to the effect that he
fell into a caisson in which a monster
concrete piling was being nodded, and
is solidly imbedded in this piling.
Color is lent to this theory by the fact
that no trace Of the workman's body
has been discovered, and other work
men expressed doubt at that time
that he fell into the ocean.
One of the workmen stated that an
automatic contrivance discharged a
ton or more of concrete into the cais-
son a moment after the workman fell,
as it was believed, into the surf. 1t
is his theory that the mans body was
deluged with the concrete, and that
the piling was completed as a grave
for the man.
