The body was almost level with the edge of the walk at the foot of New Haven Avenue, three or four blocks south of the Ventnor City Pier, on which Mrs. Blake's handbag was found yes- terday. The boy was dressed as when he had been taken from his home Friday afternoon by the mother, in his little gray chinchilla overcoat, sweater quit, leggings and brown shoes. His cap was missing from his matted hair, Examination revealed a cut on the forehead, a smaller one under the nose, and a contused and blackened eye, These marks may have been in- fileted when he was thrown from the pier or by striking the boardwalk piling. ‘After the body had been sent to the undertaker's office, Chief Sprague went to the house of Kirk Loveland, 231 Oriental Avenue, this city, Mra, Blake roomed, He found Mrs, Blake cool, of clear mind, in striking contrast to her state Satur- She readily agreeed to his sug- gestion that she should go to the At- lantle City Hospital, where she could receive proper medical care and nurs- ing. by Prof, Daniel of Rennes University FUNERAL DIRECTORS.
