COUNTY PRISONERS
HELP "GENANITOR"

The prisoners of the county Jail have
been, for the last two or three days,
making a general cleanup of the court
house building. There are Il number
who are serving short sentences and
would much rather get out and work
than to remain idle in Jail all day. The
furniture is being polished, floors are
being cleaned, and general repairs
made.
The sheriff's office has made it pos
sible for the prisoners to get out and
work so that they will be more able to
forget the heat and at the same time
there is much work that can be done
in this way without the county having
to hire laborers. So far there has been
almost no trouble in the way of at
tempted escapes. The men have been
employed for the past two months in
cleaning up the weeds around the jail
and the surrounding lots and roads.

FIND BODY OF:
Sc 4 VICTIM
At CORONADO
LAST NIGH 7
Third Murder Mystery for
San Diego in Past Two
Weeks. Believe Victim
Was Thrown in Sea and
Weighted Down.

SAN DIEGO, July 21,-With the
finding of the body Of 4 naked body in
the surf of the Coronado strand,
about a mile and half below Tent
City yesterday evening, the San
Diego police are confronted by the
third mystery nthe last two weeks.
The body was found by Lee f.
Duncan Of Fresno, who was walking
along the strand with his wife and
children when he saw black object
floating in the surf. On investiga-
ton he found that it was the body Of
man. He then notified Marshal
ODonnell of Coronado, who in turn
reported the discovery to Coroner
Schuyler Kelly
IDENTITY DESTROYED
The body, which had been in the
water about three weeks, in the opin-
ion of the autopsy surgeon, DR.. John
A. Shea, had been stripped of every
possible identification mark. The
arms, where it is said the man might
have been tattooed, the flesh had been
cut away, the right arm being strip
ped to the elbow and the left arm
being cut below the elbow. The flesh
had been neatly cut and peeled, as
though someone was carving the bark
from tree.
A piece of colored twine, the kind
that might have been purchased at
any drug store, was tied about the
mans ankle and looked as though it
had been thoroughly knotted but had
worked loose. Another piece of twine
about one-eighth of an inch in thick
ness was bound about the mans
chest, and khotted at the back. A
loose end dangled from this knot, ana,
according to the officers conducting
the autopsy,ja weight evidently had
been attached to the other end. The
cord is believed to have been under a
strain, or else it rubbed against some
thing which caused it to break.
On the mans scalp were several
cuts which in the opinion of Coroner
Kelly had been caused by blunt in
strument, as the skull had been frac
tured. The lungs were but partly
filled with water, which lends to the
belief that the man had been Knocked
unconscious, and that after his hands
and feet were tied he was weighted
and dropped overheard from boat. 1t
was not case of drowning while
conscious, declared the coroner for if
the man had been in n conscious state
his lungs would have been completely
filled with water.
NOT CHCkED TO DEATH
AS far as the Investigators could
determine the man had not been
choked to death.
The victim is described as being
about 40 or As years old; five feet,
seven inches in height; weight APP
proximately 100 pounds; hair black;
smooth shaven; teeth, right upper
middle incisor partly Clipped; second
lower left molar gold filling cover-
ing entire top upper left molar, small
amalgam filling; middle incisor irreg-
ular.
