How long he had lain in the ditch has not been definitely decided. He was seen about town early Monday night at that ws the last reports of him alive. The ditch were Inman was found is only about ten fee wide, ribbed with rock and carries practically no water in it except during pumping hours when the water from a mine is pumped into it, and during a wet period.
