New YORK, May 2S.-The body of the
late Maud Stewart, the actress, whose
identity has been obscured by SO much
mystery, lay in neat coffin at an under
takers shop in Spring street this morning.
About ten o'clock the body was placed in
hearse and conveyed to the Cemetery of
the Evergreens, where it was buried in the
plot belonging to the Actors Fund.
Robert Frazer was the only member of
the theatrical profession who attended the
funeral At the office of the Actors Fund
IN Union Square to-day, Mr.. Benjamin
Baker said that the dead actresses real
name was Grubbs and that this was also
the name of the actress Maude Stewart,
who is at present staying at the st. Cloud
Hotel. .It is my belief" said Mr.. Baker,
s'that the two were twin sister," 1t was
the opinion of some others interested in
the case that Miss Maude Stewart could, if
she chose. clear up the mystery in regard
to the dead girl
