NEW YORK, Fch 20-Mr and Mrs Robert :. Drysdale, the parents of Miss Yorko went to Philadelphia Monday. with their eldest son, to make arrangements for the removal of the body to this city. It was expected that they would return with the body last evening, but the dead girl is still lying in the Philadelphia undertak- ing shop, where she was carried after the murder.
 Mrs. DrySdalc WAS su completely pros trated when she reached the scene of the tragedy that her husband decided not to trouble her with the arrangements for the removal of Madge's body. He and his son came back to New York last night with Mrs, Drysdale, who had hardly strength enough to make the journey, and was obliged to retire immediately upon her ar rival.
 Her sou told all callers at their home, 169 West Sixty-eighth street, that his sls- tcr's body would be brought home ou Thursday He said that the funeral would take place on Friday, and that the body would be temporarily buried at Woodlawn cemetery, where it would bo left until springtimc, when it would be determined where the final burial would take place.
 Gentry Goaded by Jcsts.
 It seems probable in the face of some facts which came to light yesterday that the thoughtlcss jcsts of some of his asso- ciates in the company of which he was member NvCrC responsible for the state of mind in which Gentry met his sweetheart in Philadelphia, as they were for an ats tempt at suicide he made in Boston on Friday night. The man was naturally of a jealous nature. though none was readiCr 0O forgive and forget than he, and the sort of women with whom he had always as sociated circus performer and n vari- ety actor had led him to believe that a woman was never 10 be trusted out of ones sight.
 After he had left The Baggage Cheek" company and been separated from Miss YOrkC his friends in the new company thought 1t good fun to tease him about his absent sweetheart They even went so far as to tell him that Mark Sullivan, the leading man of The Baggage Cheek" company, had won his girl" One of Gentry's best friends said today;
 II don't know that there was the least foundation for the joke, but they certain ly made poor Jim dreadfully jealous of Sullivan. The poor fellow had just got over a bad case of grip and had been drinking whisky and taking quinine till he was in a very nervous state.
 "On Friday night the other men in the company, which was then in Boston, had some moro of this fun with him and got him fairly wild. He went up stairs to his room in this condition. and when Man ager McKenna of tho company went up to see him few minutes later Gentry had a big pistol in his hand and was talking wildly to himself.
 When Mckcnna and another man en- tered, Jim put the pistol to his head. The two men jumped at him and finally got the pistol away from him. They put him to bed in one of their own rooms at Clark s hotel. and the next day he started for Jer- sey City, having tclegraphed Madge Yorke to meet him there.
 Well, she didn't meet him, as you know. and I suppose Jim went on to Phil Rdelphia in q terrible state of mind. He went into her room and asked her to kiss him. I think if she had done so it would have been all right, and Jim wouldn't have hurt her for the world, but she didn't and the next minute she was lying dead on the floor"
