Dead Man's Father Found.
Police yesterday identified the man found dead at 210 West Fifty-third Street on Saturday night as H.G. Bentley, an actor and the son of W.H. Bentley of Minneapolis, Minn. Detective Cooney made the identification by means of an Elk's membership card and pin found on the body, and communicated with the elder Bentley. A reply was received yesterday claiming the body and asking that it be forwarded to H.G. Bentley's former home at Waukon, Iowa.
