Identity of floater still unknown in Ward Island river death
The body found in Ward Island's chute remains unidentified and likely will be buried today in a local cemetery's potter's field at county expense, marked unknown and unclaimed. A single clue surfaced when three American Strawboard Co employees reported a man fitting the description visited a paper mill a week earlier and had a missing finger count matching the corpse. They mentioned a possible friend named Edward Maloney of Independence Kansas. Undertaker Mumper notified Independence police, but no reply yet. The drowned man was described as refined and well dressed, suggesting coming from a good family.
