Found Body in Water. 
The body of a man floating in the 
water was the unusual sight which 
met the eyes of John Bennett, one of 
Manchester’s veteran fishermen, 
Thursday morning as he was fishing 
for cod off Smith’s Point. Great as 
his surprise may have been, however, 
he proceeded at once to take the re- 
mains into his boat and at noon he 
had rowed to the town wharf in Man- 
chester and made known his find to 
Chief Peabody. 
Medica] Examiners Stickney and 
Haddock of Beverly were notified, as 
was also the Salem police. 
The body was removed from the 
boat and was later taken to the receiv- 
ing tomb at Rosedale cemetery. It 
had evidently been in the water sev- 
eral weeks for the flesh had been re- 
moved from the head and hands, the 
only parts of the body exposed, and 
only the bones remained. 
With Dr. Haddock there also ar- 
rived on the 3.07 train from Salem a 
man named Mahoney, who identified 
the body as that of Thomas Brown of 
Salem, who was drowned off the 
harbor on Sunday, June 11, having 
fallen overboard from a sailing boat 
in which were Mahoney and another 
man. 
The unfortunate man was married, 
but had no children. He wasa steve- 
adore and has worked in Manchester 
considerable, unloading coal at 
Knight’s wharf. His body was taken 
to Salem Thursday evening.
