GHASTLY DISCOVERY.
Man Pound) Dead in the W oods Near
W appingers Palls.
W ednesday afternoon E verett 'Van
Voorhis, who resides on the W illis
D ean place, foundi the badly decayed
remains of a man lying in the P ulling
Woods’, about tw o and a half m iles
east of W appingers Falls. 'Van Voor­
his w a s out gunning and came upon
the body b y accident. H e rode into the
village and told of his discovery. Cororner Bevier w a s notified and after
his arrival upon the scene h e sent "Qndertaker Thom as J. Cashin out for the
body and it w a s brought to the village
about seven o’clock.
It*proved* to be -that of a m an of
m edium height. It had been dressed in
a black diagonal suit, a black derby
h at and a pair of new congress gaiters.
The rem ains had evidently la in in the
spot Where they were found, for se v ­
eral months, for the flesh had entirely
left the head except a lltle of th e scalp
containing a fe w black haii-S!.
B y the body w a s a thirty-eight cali­
bre revolver, a number o-f cartridges
.being foui)4 Qji the groun(J near by. A
fazbl', Wrapped In papSi’, w a s also dis­
covered elofet at hand. A bullet hole
w a s found in th e right temple, circum ­
stan ces pointing to suicide.
In th e m onth of A ugust a p arty of
boardeirs at the B u lling Pltotd^S'e saw a
m an ly in g asleep, as they thought, in
this precise spot, but they said little
about it, thinking he had soon after
gone a-way.
Coroner Bevier impanelled a jury
lu'th MiC John W. Gaunt as forem an
and adjourned th e inquest until Satur­
d ay afternoon a t tw o o’clock, a t which
tim e some light regarding the identity
of the stranger m ay be throw n upon
th e case. On the ground -with the
body were som e m atches, and a new s­
paper, th e date of w hich could not be
m ade out, Som e n-ewa from H avana
w a s a ll th a t could- be distinguished.
The paper cam e apart as- soon a s it
w a s handled.
