FATHER IDtNIIFIIl) Till: CORPSE.
...
A Coroner's Jury Held An Autopsy
and Recommended 1 lint \N ilcox He
Kept I'or I rink
Suffolk, Va., Special Nellie Cropaey's
dead body was found Friday In Pasquo- |
tank ilver. After thirty bcvui days
of anxiety and fako reports and ih >
lavish expendit ire of money to
solve tho mystery of Ella
Maude Cropsey's disappearance, I'.is
quotank river gave up its duvd nt l.?
o'clock this morning.
Nellie's body was located on tho river
bottom by J. D Stlllman, a f .shcrmun,
who hurried word to ^ W. Turner, a
member of the cltiz'j.is' commit tee of
five. The nous o? the find spread ilka j
a prairie Hie, and soon a gioat crowd
of excited people had collected. Jus
tice \V. 11. Cropsey, t!io girl's falhei'. |
was summoned. Almost overcome with
emotion he pushed through the crowd
and stood beside tho corpse, when? it
had been tenderly luld near the b;\:itc.
There was a hush as he looked upon
his daughter's form, but only for a
minute. Justice Crop^ey soon pro- j
nounccd the body before hiin the re
mains of his Missing Nellie. Weed was
sent to the mother, who has seemingly*
suffered most, to the sisters and to I
Miss Carrie Cropsey, of New York, I
who has remained with tho family
during all the.r trouble.' There wcr? I
weeping and cries of grief and t h ? y I
would not be consoled.
The corpse was fhwiul out In the rHvr i
nearly opposite the Cropsey home..!
Later, Coroner Fearing was noti.Vd 1
and ho had summoned a jury win
viewed tae remains In a small ho isc cn
tlm Cropsey premises. Witnesses told
how the find was made, and theie was
evidence to show conclusively that lie
body was Nellie Cropsey's.
A careful examination was mado by'j
physicians. The body itself, though j
darkened by the water's action, was
considered Jn an excellent state ol j
preservation.
James Wiicox, Uic suspected lovr?r |
who, In pursuance of advice of his j
father and lawyer, had left tewn and !
was stopping at a country house 1:1 ;
Pasquotank county, was gone af;er
and b. ought to EllzaDMh < *i ty at 5;
o'clock. There was no apparent chnngo !
in his expression and when questioned !
about the case ho answered in m<>no
syllables. Of course he maintain* not
only his Innocence, but his ignorance
of the causes which led to Miss Crop
sey's death.
The Coroner's It:qu?:.t.
Elizabeth City, N. C., Special. ? The ]
coroner's jury reports that Miss Crop |
sey came to her death by being striek- j
en a blow on the temple and drowned |
and recommends that an examination |
as to Wilcox's guilt be made.
The report made by the physicians
who performed tho autopsy on Miss
Cropsey says: "The garments show ro
marks of violence. There were ao ex
ternal marks of violence on body, he: .1
or faco. Thcco was a discoloration of
a pinkish tinge on the front cf Head
and face with a flight bluish discolo
ration over the bac-k cf the neck. Th-jro
were no marks upon the front of her
neck, except as made by construction
of her dr<*s ^collar. An examination
of the internaJ organs showed she v/a *
a pure girl.
"There was no fracture discovered a'c
any point of t>ic cranium. T1ipjv? was
no pffueion of blood or water upon t !io
surface of the brain or any evident
I hat violence had reached It? structure
or the internal plates of its bogy cov
ering. The brain substance f.6 far C3
we could see shows no evidencn of dam
age. The brain was removed and the
base of the brain thoroughly Inspectel.
There was no dam ago to blood vessel*
or bony structure.
The report was signed by Mrs. J. K.
Wood, O. McMullan and I. Fearing.
The verdict of the coroner's jury fol
lowed: "We, the coroner's- Jury, having
been duly summoned and sworn 1?> Dr.
I. 'Fearing to inquire what caused the
dealh of Ella M. CrojMey, do hereby re
