yesterday, with a cargo of 1,0o8 ma

The Siskiyou came from the Pacific

which adopts this method of steaning
The steamer was berthed at one of

BODY OF MISSING
NEGRO FOUND IN
A BATTERED STATE
HENRY SCOTT, WHO HAD DIsAP-
FEARED SOME DAYS AGO,
SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN MUIR
DERED.

Henry Scott, colored, who disap>
peared from his home late Saturday
night, or who had never reached his
home after being paid off at the place
of his employment late that night,
was to all appearances murdered and
his body thrown into the bay.
Yesterday morning at $50 o'clock
Adrian Langford, employed at the
Saunders Fish Company, discovered a
floating human body near the wharf,
and giving the alarm, the remains
were examined by police, coroner and
acquaintance, and it was recognized
by some of the later as the body of
the missing Scott. After being more
carefully examined, the body was held
for coroner's jury investigation.
Coroner Will L. johnson was sum-
moned, and he saw the remains, and
it was then discovered that the negro
did not come to his death from nat71~
al causes. 1t was ascertained -, IL
neck was broken, deep cash showed
| in his skull, and the tell tale part of
the discovery was that his pockets
were cut and his clothing slashed, all
clearly indicating that he was robbed
and thrown into the bay.
All things in connection with the
finding Of the negro's body were of
such suspicious nature that Judge
johnson has called a coroner's jury
together and the Negroes death will be
probed this morning. Judge johnson
said yesterday afternoon that if ever
man had been foully dealt with, the
unfortunate negro was such a victim
Scott, employed at Meyers Grocery
Store, on West Government street
was paid off at late hour Saturday
night. He was known to have been ar
inoffensive colored man, and wher
he continued to absent himself from
his home at 1107 North Hayne street
his wife requested that the police try
to find him. She reiterated anc
strongly pressed her request on Sun
day afternoon. At that time, it wa:
stated by the police, Scott was said Il
have had but S1.75 in his pocket whe1
he left the store On Monday the
troubled wife again showed up at the
police station, and asked if anything
had been heard of her husband, this
1 time expressing the opinion that some
thing had happened to him. All tn,
time, however, the officers were try
ing to locate the missing negro.

the least trace of him was discovered
