FOUND DEAD.
The body of a man was found in the bush near the Northern cemetery, Dunedin, on Thursday morning. It was in a decomposed state, and it was practically impossible to identify it. Lying alongside was a rifle which had a discharged cartridge in the barrel. There is no clue to his identity. Dunedin, Dec. 27.
Investigations show practically beyond a doubt that the body louud near the Northern Cemetery yesterday is that of Charles B. Jarman, who was a clerk in the Government Shipping Office, and who disappeared on December 3. A handkerchief found on the body has the initials “C.8.J.,” and the body corresponds exactly with that of Jarman, so far as height, etc., are concerned. When Jarman was last seen he was walking in the direction of the Northern Cemetery. Some writing found in the clothes has been identified as that of the missing man. The inquest on the body was opened this morning before the above particulars came to light, but it was adjourned.
