the house when evidently fearing de-
lection, he went around the rear of
the homes Of Fred B. White. 300 East

llnger, 304 East Eighth street. His
footprints then lead down to Rock Is
land street, where he had turned and
went directly to the river.
Gus Abrahamson, taXi-cab driver
for the jaeger livery, saw him at the
corner of Fourth and Rock Island
streets at $50 in the morning Abra-
manson was answering a call to take
several passengers to the depot to
catch train and he did not stop.
| He thought at first that the man
was baker as he was dressed in
white. He then noticed that he had
no shoes on and was dressed in pa
jamas.
Levee Backwater Dragged.
The foot prints along the river front
indicated that Brown had dropped in
the backwater between the levee wall
and the river. This backwater was
dragged by the police until cold
weather froze it over. The police still
backwater and had planned to drag it
as soon as the ice melted.
! After identifying the body, Coroner
Cantwell decided that an inquest was
not necessary as it was clearly a case
/ of suicide brought on by nervous
breakdown and worry.
! The finding of the body ends a long
search, as the family Of the missing
man had never given up hope that he
was still alive. Many false reports
were received from towns saying that
a demented man answering the de-
scriptiOn of Brown was found and be-
/ ing held IN await nOSitiyp identifica-

continued. The reward of 800 was
an incentive for many people to con-
tinue the search for the body.
