YOUNG FRAWLEY’S DEATH CAUSED BY VIOLENCE. Mr. James Frawley, uncle of Wm. Frawley, the young man who was recently missed from the steamer Lady of the Lake, and Mr. Owen Keefe left this city last Monday in search of a clue that would unravel the mystery of young Frawley’s disappearance. When exploring the shore oppo- site Piney Point they recetved information that a body had been found and buried in that nelghbor- hood last Saturday. Dr. Stewart, a gentleman who assisted at the burial, conducted them to the grave. He stated that the body was taken from the water Friday and burned Saturday, after an Inquest was held. ‘The remains were éxuumed, and fentified as those of young Frawley, though the features were mutilated by crabs, and decom- position. | Back of the right ear was ‘a large hole in the skull. The verdict of the coroner’s jury was east death ‘was caused by a blow or wound on the e Major Dye to-day sent Detective Block down the river to further investigate the death of young Frawley. Detective Block last week made a very thorough investigation, which led to the conclu- sion by the police authorities that Frawley haa accidentally fallen from the steamer and been drowned. Major Dye 1s still of that opinion. He accounts for the wound on the head through the possibility of Frawlcy, in falling from the upper deck, striking some Projection on the boat, or having been struck by the wheel Frawley’s father said that he had about $4 when he started on the trip, and as $3.10 were found In his pockets when the body was recovered, the theory in- volving robbery 1s exploded. ly ine ‘The Potomac River Regatta.
