NQUEST m BABY
10 BE HELD NEXT
TUESDAY, 2 P. M.
An inquest over the body of a
raby found yesterday on Willough
by avenue will be held at 2 p.m. |
Tuesday, April 2, according to U. S. j
Commissioner Gordon Gray.
Identity of the child has not been |
established and it was urgently re- j
guested by the commissioner andj
he U. S. Marshal that anyone hav- j
ing any idea as to its identity con- I
tact their offices or the city police. ,
The marshal may be reached at his
home at any time on Saturday or
Sunday or at night at Black 3S0,
rr Sid Thompson, deputy marshal
may be contacted.
• It is hoped,” the marshal said,
'that some information may be ob
tained toward clearing up the ca,e
before burial takes place.”
Authorities said every effort is j
being made for identification of the
body through checking vital statis- 1
tic records of births, but this takes
considerable time as some mothers
of such births have left Juneau.
The baby, thought, to be part na
tive or Filipino measures about 23' _•
inches in length. The hair is black
or very dark brown and the body
was completely nude when found.
Length of the body indicates that
the child could have been over one
month old, and possibly two to four
months of age. It is estimated the
baby had been dead 24 to 48 hours.
GRAMPUS IS OKAY;
BARGE REFLOATED
The missing fishing vessel Gram
pus was reported to Coast Guard
headquarters as anchored off Dun
das Island and safe.
Information was received also
that the BM Co. barge which sank
at Cosmos Cove was being re
