Body Of Man, With Throat Cut, Is Found Floating In Sound. (Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.) South NORWALK, Conn., April 26.—The body of a man, with his throat cut from ear to ear and a gash in his forehead, was found floating in the water, and was towed by Capt. Aaron Stevens, of Rowayton, early last evening, to the shore at the Knob, near Rowayton Point. Medical Examiner S. H. Huntington to night said the instrument which caused the wounds was evidently sharp on both sides, as was noticeable in the case of the man who was found dead in the barrel in New York. The man was rather heavy, well built, and probably 36 years of age. He was about five feet five inches in height and weighed about 170 pounds. He had dark-brown hair and a reddish mustache. He was round of face and good looking. His clothes and plain broad shoes were fairly good, but not fine in texture, and his shirt was black, striped with black figures. The only things in his pockets were two white handkerchiefs, a pocketknife, a comb in a leather case, and a wooden and leather snuffbox. There appear to be several gashes in the man’s throat, all parallel, and on the left side they are jagged, as if the knife or razor was not sharp. The South Norwalk police think the man's throat was cut, and that he was thrown from one of the sound steamers while off this port. The body was first seen by three Italians cutting brush for Boardman Burchard at a point near the mouth of Village creek, north of the Knob. Dr. Huntington said tonight: “The cuts in the man’s throat are remarkable, and it is very hard to tell whether they were in fiicted by someone else, or whether the man himself made them. There are two very distinct cuts, each separate from the other. Two others are about in the same place. There is no doubt, however, that they are stab wounds. The wounds are di rectly below the chin and above the larynx. It might have been possible for the man to have wounded himself in that way four times, but it does not seem probable.”
