CHARLES B. BUCHANNAN, only 9 years old, all washed up and dressed in the nattiest of summer suits, walked down one of the Lewes piers just in time to see little JOHN MARSHALL. 4 years old son of JOHN MARSHALL, a citizen of Lewes, fall backward off the pier into the water and sink beneath the surface into the muddy bottom.
