Completing the local investigation into the case of John F. Edwards, 67 vears old, of Roanoke and Richmond, Who disappeared from his stateroom during the trip of the Norfolk and Washington line's steamer Northland from Norfolk to this city Tuesday night, Detective Harry Evahs report- ed today that he probably was drowned accidentally. The missing man was known to have been suffering severely from asthma and was having difficulty in breathing at Old Point Comfort, Va., where he asked a mald to open t window. This was done. The pos! tion of a chair in the stateroom at the window led Kvans to the belief that Edwards was probably leaning out of the window to get air when the lurching of the steamer catapulted him out of the window and over the side. The statercom was only one deck above the waterline of the steamer and the clearance necessary for a man's body to be pitched direct- ly into the water just a matter of a few foet This theory is strengthened by the fact that Edwards €vidently was pre- paring to retire, having removed part of his clothing. The note he left In- structing as to the disposal of his body was written last August, Bvans said, and was found in a note boo giving every indication of a precau tionary measure taken to guard against non-identification in case of sudden death.
