Death in city street ends in mystery inquest not needed
An elderly man identified only as Charles Edward Peacock, about 60, died of apparent natural causes after an evening walk near All Saints and Market. An inquest was deemed unnecessary by Justice Sherman Bowers. A 1926 Baltimore bank letter and $8 to $10 were found on Peacock. No next of kin or clear purpose for his presence in Washington noted. The body was released to an undertaker after deputies investigated.
