Delbridge Was Drowned
(by Associated Press)
Atlanta, Ga., Sept 11.- The body of T. J. Delbridge, a young
business man of high social and commercial standing, who 
disappeared Tuesday, was found this morning floating on
the surface of the old water works reservoir at Lakewood 
park. Delbridge was last seen as he entered a boat to take
a bath in the reservoir at a late hour Tuesday night.
The next morning the boat was found empty and his clothes
were discovered in the bath-house. He had recently taken
out life insurance policies aggregating over $50,000, and 
this, together with the fact that his body was not found
after the two days' search, gave currency to the theory
that he had simply disappeared, a theory which grew
into a public conviction until disposed of by the rising
of the body to the surface this morning.
