Found Franklin Gardiner's Body.

New York, 1895

The body of a man about 30 years of age was found floating in the sound off Whitestone Tuesday morning, dressed in a light suit and black stockings and patent leather shoes. From letters found it appears that his name was Franklin Gardiner, and that he committed suicide.
