The man who was supposed to have been burned to death was seen this morning by a party of school children. They described him as a monkey dressed in men's clothes but without shoes. He was first sighted when he darted out of the shrubbery on the Hallet estate near the East Fairbrook bridge. The children declare the animal 'swarmed' over the wall (Mr. Hallets' wall is 15 feet high at this point) and made for the bridge.

Here, instead of crossing as a man would do, he swung himself under the planking and, monkeylike, attempted to cross on the iron string pieces. Half-way across, where the current is swiftest, he somehow lost his foot-grip and fell fifty feet to the water. The body was recovered this noon at Douglass Mills.

I read the piece over again from end to end. Norton and the others had missed it, but could it be that the newspaper was blind, too? Yes; evidently it was I alone who had noted the most salient fact of the whole affair.

In all phases of his ego, Jack Hodge had met death through water!
