Dead Man Found
The Elizabeth River Gives Up Another Victim

About 4 o’clock yesterday morning a schooner floated the dead body of a white 
man, attired in a uniform coat, into the Clyde Line dock. It was lifted from 
the water, and Coroner Newton notified. He had it removed to the city morgue, 
where a jury of inquest viewed the remains which are in advanced stage of 
decomposition. 
It was that that the man had been connected with the Marine Corps, and Capt. 
Littleton W.T. Waller was notified. He came over promptly, but failed to 
identify the corpse. Subsequently the opinion developed that the man came from 
Suffolk, but this was probably speculation.
Dr. Newton will today, unless the body is identified and claimed, have it 
buried at the expense of the city.
