Shortly after 12 o'clock yesterday afternoon a lad named Edward MAHER, while playing with some companions on the railway track at the foot of Orange street (Saint John) discovered a dark object being washed up by the tide near the breakwater of this place. It proved to be the body of a dead man. An alarm was immediately given and a crowd soon gathered to view the body, which was identified as that of Michael MORAN, better known as 'Buck'. The police and Coroner Berryman were notified and appeared on the scene. The coroner made an examination of the body before its removal to the dead house but he could not say there had been any foul play. The body, which was seen yesterday afternoon at the dead house by a Telegraph reporter, was comfortable clad in a dark tweed suit with a cardigan jacket and flannel shirt and resembled that of a man about 40 years of age. Mrs. Michael McEVOY who resides in a dingy flat of St. Andrews street is Moran's aunt and with her he lived. He was her only support. (see original)
