. Yestenday morning's Charlotte
I Observer carried the following trag-
Ic atory under . a Philadelphia date
line of the 12th:
In a lodging house at No. 44
North Eleventh 'street, where he had
rented a room last nluht. the dead
body of Victor E. Reinhardt wfs
found at noon by the proprietor;
Thomas Murphy. The body lay
across the bed fully clothed and the
I arms and legs were drawn up as
though In defense and the facial
features were rigid in lines f In
tense fear. At first It was thought
that the man died either from pois-
on or foul play. The police deny
this, after an Investigation, and the
physicians of Hahnemann hospita.l,
vhere the body was taken immedi
ately after discovery, say that death
was caused by uraemia.
Reinhardt was about 21 years old
and the son of R. S. Reinhardt, a
wealthy cotton mill owner in Lin-
colnton, N. C. He left home for a
I pleasure trip about a week ago.
Murphy says Reinhardt came to his
lodging house about 8 o'clock Tues
day night, rented a room for which
he paid in advance and was not seen
again until the door was broken in
at noon today, when the proprietor
became suspicious that something
was wrong. A condition contribut-
toward the poison .theory was
Mne fact that tne entlre 'body had
turned blue. 'The hospital physic-
laiJS that this was due to thena
ture of the disease from which he
suffered
A wallet found in a pocket con-
I talned only 6 cents. Papers com
pleted the Identification, and in the
evening a friend in this city carried
out instructions from the parentsto
have an undertaker take charge of
the body which had been at the
morgue. Despite the absolute de
n'a' ' any suspicious circumstances
connected with the death, the de-
I tectives and coroner's office are in
vestigating all the circumstances.
The news of young Relnhardt's
death cabled forth many expressions
of sorrow In Gastonia yesterday
morning. The family has many
friends here whose sympathy goes
out to them In their great sorrow.
The unfortunate young man was a
nephew of Mrs. John O. Rankin who
w 111 8 Q LIncolnton to attend the
funeral. Mr. W, A. Fair and Mr,
Rudislll, of LIncolnton, went to
