MYSTERY IN IDENTITY OF DEAD MAN WHO USED THREE NAMES WHILE IN THE CITY
Mystery surrounds the identity of a man who died suddenly while seated in a chair at the office of the Kossuth house, Tenth and Commercial streets Tuesday evening and who was known here under three names. Death was due to paralysis of the heart. No inquest will be held but the body will not be interred, pending investigation in an effort to establish the identity of the dead man and locate relatives.
When the body of the man was searched two time cards of Walter Oeflein were found, one in the name of Thomas Stevens and a second Thomas Stevenson. Receipts for payment on Liberty bonds at the Savings bank were made out in the name of Victor Thompson while the man also carried a boarding card from the Shipbuilding company with the name Irwin Bahrs.
A laundry ticket found on the body was in the name of S. Stevenson.
Little has been learned of the man by investigation conducted by Dist. Atty. Brady.
Stevens, Stevens, Thompson or Bahrs as his name may be, was identified as having been employed on the government housing work here since November but the man had no confidants so as far as can be learned, and nothing is known of his family. The man, who appears to be between 50 and 55 years of age came to the Kossuth house Tuesday afternoon in a taxi and sought board.
He remained about the place during the afternoon and early evening and was seated in a chair in the bar when suddenly stricken. The body was examined by Dr. Luhman and later taken to the C. & H. Frazier undertaking rooms where it will remained until claimed by relatives. If not claimed the body will be buried by the county.
