The Public Ledger, Thurs., April 6, 1893, pg. 1

Found Drowned-A newsboy found the body of a colored man floating in 
MeCullough’s Dock this morning and the Coroner’s jury decided that the 
deceased was unknown and came to his death by drowning on a date unknown to 
them. The body was considerably decomposed. Subsequently a gentleman 
identified it as a Negro named Deal, who had been missing for some time. A 
colored man in whose company Deal was last seen was under arrest here recently 
under suspicion of having made way with Deal, but was afterwards released. The 
police authorities being satisfied that the “suspect” did not know anything 
about the missing man. The body was also recognized by a Negro today as that 
of Tom Pusey, of Scott’s Creek, Norfolk County. It was buried by the city as 
the remains of both Deal and Pusey.
