The last seen of Moras was last Saturday when a -man had some barbering done, and it ia thought that Worse died several days before hl body was found. Neighbors had been caring for ths man to a certain extent of late, and there had been other times in which Morse required assistance as, he had been unable to care for himself hocanas of over-indulgence. This time thj neighbor w-ho first became suspicious that there might be something w'ronj thought that another neighbor had bocn taking care of the man; but it seems that no one had been near ths barber.

The latter, together witii, Deputy Sheriff. H, J. Parcher, broki into the house late yesterday and found the remains of Morse. The body lay on tho floor without an article of clothing on it except a thin shirt, which had been pulled up about the neck. Ko far as known, theri were no marks on the body to indicate foul play, and the physician gives tha cause of death as "accidental, due to exposure.". State's Attorney C. B. Adams was called into the case and last night the body was removed to the undertaking rooms of V, L. Pcr kins in Waterbury, .There seems to be little doubt In tha minds of the people and of the author ities that Morse, while in a more or less helpless condition, fell on the floor and died of exposure, his body being frozen solid in the very cold weather tliat en sued. -;.). 1 .
