FUNERAL OF HANL0N.
The Buriui from the UndertaLer's This Morn
iDg-An EnKer Crowd-lho Alleged Confess
sion of the Murdercr.
When it was ascertained that the remains of
Hanlon had been conveyed from the prison to
the establishment of James McGinnis, under
taker, No 1873 North Seventeenth street, there
were not lacking people with curiosity enough
to make that locality an object of their especial
attention, and Notwithstanding the drizzing
rain of this morning considerable crowd had
assembled in front of the undertakers establish
ment.
number of policemen, however, were on
hand to preserve order and to keep the side
walks clear. The parties in charge of the
body were exceedingly reticent as to the dis
position of the remains, and it was gossipped
around the streets that the body had been con-
veyed to Millville, New Jersey, where the
parents of Hanlon reside; but as nothing posi-
tive was known on the subject, the crowd kept
up an eager watch on the house for further de-
velopments.
The body, however, was kept in the under
takers establishment all night, and this morning
at half past 10 o'clock the funeral took place.
Everything connected with the last ceremonies
was conducted as quietly as possible. There
were present but six carriages and a hearse,
and none were present but the family and
nearest relatives of the dead man. The remains
were enclosed in coffin covered with black
cloth and mounted with silver. After the con-
clusion of the funeral ceremonies the carriages
were quickly filled and drove off to the burial
ground. The place of interment was not stated,
the parties in charge preserving the same reti-
cence in this particular as in others, but it was
rumored that the burial took place in the Cathe-
dral Cemetery.
Since the execution of the murderer there has
been considerable talk to the effect that he had
left a statement. reporter of THE EVENING
TELEGRAPH after diligent inquiry has been un-
able to trace the assertion to any reliable foun-
dation. Certain it is that no statement what
ever has been left with Superintendent Perkins,
and that gentleman is ignorant of such paper
in the custody of any other party. What Han
Ion said on the scaffOld yesterday is probably
his last words. Any communications he made
to his religious adviser, of course are secret and
never will be diyulged unless by special direc-
ton OF the dead man.
