ROBERT RAY HAMILTON

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 16 - [Special] - Dr. James O. Green, who found the body
of Robert Ray Hamilton in the river, said to-night that there could be no
doubt of the identity. While the features were barely recognizable the
clothing, watch, and book of trout flies, with the name of Hamilton inside,
left no doubt. Further, that Hamilton's partner, Sergeant, had seen the body
and identified it. He said also that death came about by accidental drowning
and not by violence. The body was taken to the upper end of Jackson's lake,
which is in Wyoming, about twenty miles south of Yellowstone park, and there
buried in a hill near the hotel which Hamilton was building.
