Richard J. McCormack
Bainbridge News & Republican, May 9, 1946
Weakened by alcohol, Richard J. McCormack, 59 year old Margaretville [Delaware Co., NY] woodworking plant employee, died from exposure as he lay on the muddy bank of an eddy in the East Branch, Delaware River, near Arena, last Saturday morning, Apr. 27, according to police and other officials who investigated following discovery of the victim's body the following Sunday. There was no indication of foul play, according to District Attorney Gleason B. Speenburgh. Dr. Elwin C. Champlin, Fleischmanns, acted as coroner's physician. State police from Delhi and Sidney also worked on the case. Investigators said that McCormack, in an intoxicated condition, hired a taxi in Margaretville late Friday night and went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Slicer, Arena. While in their home he became annoying and when he went outdoors for a moment Mrs. Slicer locked the door. Looking out later, she saw McCormack lying on the ground. Mrs. Slicer told police that she went to Stan's Tavern, a nearby resort, to find someone to take McCormack home. Elmer Close agreed to do this after the tavern where he is employed, closed for the night. At about 1 a.m. he went to the Slicer home but found the house dark and no signs of McCormack. When Mrs. Slicer returned home, some time before Close, she heard McCormack in the woodshed, she told police. Nothing further was heard or seen of McCormack until Sunday when Edward Slicer, Jr., 8, while playing in the backyard, chanced to look over the steep 75-foot embankment which leads to the river from the Slicer property, and saw McCormack's body lying partially in the water. Elmer Close was informed of the discovery and he called the troopers. Investigators believed that in the darkness McCormack fell down the embankment into the eddy, which is about three feet deep and then crawled out onto the muddy bank where he lapsed into unconsciousness, dying shortly afterwards. It is considered likely that the body was covered by the snow which fell Friday night and Saturday, thus accounting for the fact that it went unnoticed until Sunday.
