One thing that occurs to me about the pat down is that there may not be much reason to look for a wallet specifically. Before World War I, most people were not expected to carry identification papers. Of course a check for a passport might be in order, but I think that might be carried in a separate small folder. Drivers' licenses existed, but few people drove automobiles and the victim wasn't found in an automobile. If it were considered necessary to learn his identity that would likely call for a general search for all papers and other identifying marks.
