Missing Man Found Drowned - We gave an account last week
in the columns of The Express of the disappearance of Mr. Samuel Wagner,
an old man of sixty odd years of age, who was last seen on Wednesday
night by a gentleman of Easton, who found him wandering about and took
him as far as Centre Square on the way home. He was never seen again
alive. This morning word was received in Easton, that the body of the
man had been found in the Delaware River, near the Black Horse Tavern,
a few miles below Easton. Coroner Thomas went down and the body was
recognized as that of the missing Samuel Wagner. How he fell into the
river is of course unknown, but it is supposed that he tumbled over
the riverbank, while wandering about Easton.
Since writing the above we learn that Mr. Wagner's body was found
near the bank of the river, last evening, by three men who were in
a bateau. The body was in a sitting position, and amongst the bushes
near the edge of the water. The jury rendered a verdict that the deceased
came to his death by drowning in the Delaware River, in such manner
unknown to the jury.
