ARBUCKLE's FUNERAL
WAS HELD IN NEW YORK CRY
There Are no New Facts ReEsrdAs h's
Death-Hs Was Insured for $50 200.

New York, Nov 22.-Mrs. Frank p.
Arbuckle arrived here this morning.
accompanied by her nephew, Robert II.
Porter, and at three O'Clock In the af-
ternoon brief funeral services over the
remains of the late Frank Arhuckle
were held In St. Chrysostom's chapel.
at West Thirtieth street and Seventh
avenue. by Rev. Thomas II. Silia, as
sisted by Rev DIR. Rich, who was pas
tor of Mr.. Arbuckle's church In Den
yer. The body will be taken to Denver
tomorrow night.
Col Seigel, at whose house. 2S6 West
Thirty ninth street. Mr.. Arbuckle had
been staying. and where the widow is
being cared for. said Mrs. Arbuckle
was bearing her affiiction bravely.
This Is considered especially fortunate,
as it will be necessary for her to al
tend tomorrow to matters connected
with her husbands life insurance,
which amounts to $4,000.
Notwithstanding searching investisa-
tions made by detectives to discover
how Mr.. Arbuckle lost his jewelry and
money. little has been learned. Lueien
r. HudeIart ticket chopper at the For
ty-second street station of the Sixth av-
enue a." said Saturday that when
Arbuckle took the northbound train on
Thursday morning he was alone. If
Hudelart is correct in this 1t seems I'M
probable that the four men now under
arrest had anything to do with the loss
Of his jewelry and money. 1t has nor
been shown that the men were in his
company after leaving LuchOw's ga
loon on East Fourteenth street at ten
o'clock on Wednesday night. Stevens,
Diyidson, Mcrgen and Stewart will be
arralgned in the Harlem Police court
Mrs. Arbuckle said she firmly be-
lieved ber husband had been murdered.
She said 1t was not true he had trans
ferred his property to her. but that his
business affairs were In excellent con-
dition and his property was all free
and clear She said when her husband
took charge of the Democratic CAM
paign in Colorado, he announced he
would not drink, and he kept his prom
ise.
