An identification card in the billfold indicated that his name was Philip A. Winder of East St. Louis, MO A coroner's inquest was held by Dr. E.A. Price and it was decided that the man most probably came to his death by falling off a moving train during the night. the identification card gave an address in Richmond, CA, to notify in case of accident and Sheriff W. D. Lewis sent a wire to the address shortly after the body was discovered, but as The courant goes to press, no reply has been received. The body is being held at Cope Funeral Home where it will be examined by Dr. Nelson I. Grubbs, state toxicologist of Mobile, for any evidence of foul play, though thus far, no such evidence has developed."
