Body Identified
As Mt. Juliet Man

The body which was found on the Nashville Terminals track near Second Avenue, North, Sunday afternoon, was identified at 11:30 o'clock last night as James Edward Graves, 65, a painter of Mt. Juliet, Police Sgt. George Buchanan reported last night.
A clue leading to the identification was found earlier yesterday when a person, whose name could not be learned lat night, read the description in The Tennessean. The description fitted that of a man who had been painting a house for the person; however, he could not positively identify the body.
Officers learned from the man that the painter lived at Mt. Juliet. Jesse Graves, brother of the dead man, identified the body at the Finley M. Dorris Funeral Home.
Funeral arrangements were not complete early this morning.
