  Man's Body Found In River With Its Arms Clasped About Stone Badly Decomposed Body Believed To Be That Of Herbert Kramp, Missing For Nine Days With arms clasped around a stone In mid-stream. the body of a man believed to be Herbert Kramp, who has been missing from his home at 25 North Eby street for nine days, was discovered in the Grand. River at Breslau on Saturday. To all appearances according to Coroner Dr. Kalbfleisch, Kramp committed suicide by drowning. As a result, there will he no inquest. It fell to the lot of George Poest, Elgin street. to make the gruesome find while fishing about one mile from the railway bridge. Observing the body in mid-stream. he immediately returned to the city and informed the woman of the house at which he boarded of his discovery. She in turn called Detective Blevins who returned with Poest to the river. The body was recovered about two o'clock in the afternoon. Dr. Kalbfleisch stated today that the body was in a very advanced state of decomposition. Identification was possible only by means of papers in the dead man's pocket. There is not doubt the cornoror added that the body had been in the river since Kramp disappeared a week before. He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Dorothy, all of this, his mother Mrs. Elizabeth Kramp and one brother, Arthur, both of Shanz Station.
