Story Details
The body of an unknown white man with a small gray mustache and bald head was found in a strip of woods on Winston avenue near Govantown. He wore a dark coat and vest, had eye glasses, forty cents, and small articles in his pockets, but nothing identifying him. Three deep gashes on his left wrist were inflicted by a blood-covered knife nearby, indicating suicide. An inquest by Justice Pindell resulted in a verdict of suicide. Dr. Duncan noted the man had been dead several days. The unidentified body was buried at county expense after removal to Waverly station-house.
