The Ghastly Find of Two Young Men Wednesday, The Boily ?>f n Sit l?l<l?'-.Spccu Ion ? t\n to lite l?l?ntlly ??lilio Unart Kinn ? IteuKon i?t?iltrmto?l??Ulier Hitin lorn nl Itiloi?<??!. Newport News, Oct. 12.?H. A. Boyce andN Campbell Qresham, two well known young Newport News men, went rabbit hunting in Warwick county yes? terday and found game they were not looking for. In a pine woods about four or five miles north of here and about one mile from the fnrm of Mr. D. G. Smith, on the old Curtis estate, now the Darling tract, about 2 o'clock, the hunters found the ghastly wreck of a human body. What there was of -the body was ly? ing at t-he foot of au oak tree. Around the flesh'less throat was a broken strap. Attached to a limb of the tree. Just above the body, was a strip of under? clothing, which had evidently been tied to the strap. The man's neck had been broken and the head was thrown over on the skel? eton breast. There was almost no, tlesh on the body, except a little clinging here and there. The man's clothing had disappeared, save his shoes, wrist? bands, portions of flannel undercloth? ing, and a piece or two of checked shirt, the color of which could not be detected. Just a little to one side lay a brown felt hat, almost new, a celluloid collar and a white handkerchief. Only a few of the 'hairs from the man's head re? mained. Their eoOor could not be dis? covered, but their appearance indicat? ed that they were the hairs from the head of 'a white ?man. The line,quality of the underclothing seemed to show this, too. The theory of suicide appears to be the only tenable one. The man had evi? dently Improvised a. halter from his belt and a strip of underclothing, coolly ta? ken off Iiis collar, adjusted the noose about Itls neck and hanged himself Without more ado. There is absolutely no clue to the dend man's identity. It may never be discovered. It appears hardly probable that lie was from Newport News. There have been, so far as Is known, but two mysterious disappearances from this city during the past six or seven months. One was that of the murderer Dray ton, and ft is certain that the body is not his. The other Is that of Butcher Herman, who went to Norfolk riomg nix wooUf ago and Ins not been heard from since. Vt could not have been Herman, for the man had uno.ue.s tionably been dead much longer than six weeks. DEATH UNDER WHEELS. Mr. A. D. Morris, an employe of the shipyard, living at No. 1236 Twenty eigh'th street, was crushed under the wheels of an electric train this morn? ing and d-;ed about twenty minutes af? ter from the frightful injuries received. The unfortunate man was a victim of 'his own carelessness, and Coroner B. R. Gary, sifter learning 1hc partic? ulars of the accident, decided that K would be unnecessary to hold an in? quest. REASONED DETHRONED. Charles Flaherty is not creating so much excitement to-day in the city jail. True, there Is lltitle left in his cell that he can destroy when in his ci\n7.y flt'aj but If there were he could accomplish little, as he was completely conquered yesterday afternoon by the Jail staff ci.nd several prisoners. Jail Physician Crfusy does not be? lieve that 'the leather cuff, which was forced over the lunatics hands yester? day, will prove strong enough to resist the man's efforts to release himself and It is probable that a set of gloves similar to those used in lunatic asylum.' will be procured to keep Flaherty out of mischief until n guard arrives from Williamsburg to take him into custody. kmifsit axiMi to rutmxi.t.
