The remains were lying on a pile of brush, in a slough, at a point about five miles from the city and about three miles from the place where the unfortunate young man met his death. Most of the flesh has fallen from the bones, but the remains were identified by a watch and chain, and were turned over to Judge Ryalds, an intimate friend of the deceased.
