CORPSE FOUND IN "
NEWPORT HAYMOW

While feeding the cattle at the
Porter farm two miles this side
OF Newport last Friday, Bid
Boyle uncovered the corpse of
an unknown man. The body
had been lying there about a
year and a half, as it was down
in the bottom of the NOW under
hay that was put in during the
Summer of 1914, and was in
very bad shape, and emitted a
terrible stencil. The mumified
body was taken to the under
taking parlors of iioilingsworth
e. Hartley and photographed
and held a few days for identi-
fication. Sheriff Geer and Cor
oner Hollingsworth were both
notified Of the finding of the
body and took charge of it.
Coroner Hollingsworth held an
inquest and the following was
determined: He was an elderly
man of medium size, had a sill
yer filing in one tooth and was
bald. He wore soft, brown
hat, and in his pockets was
found a razor and comb and a
ipocketbook that contained some
fish hooks, key ana some
needles, but nothing whatever
that would lead to identification.
It is thought that Il Is the re-
mains of a Scotchman who cut
wood in that neighborhood a
couple of years ago, and that he
went in the barn to sleep and
was covered up ;tnd suffocated.
The remains were brought to
Toledo and inferred in the To-
ledo Cemetery.

and a half from Newport. Bid
was feeding the stock when all
at once he came on the dead
body. 1t was a shock and for a
time Bids hair stood on end, but
he soon recovered himself and
reported the case 10 town. Cor
oner Hollingsworth was notified
and soon he appeared on the
scene, empaneled a jury and in
vestigated the case, but the re-
mains were SO badly decayed
that the person could not be
identified, no writing or papers
could be found to give any clue
to the Identification. By order
of Sheriff Geer the remains were
taken to Toledo to await further
investigation. Ths body had
been in the barn under the hay
about two years.
