CHICAGo'S LATEST SENSATION.
MrA Ketcham Demands That the Corone
Burn No Daylight.

MIA Ketcham Demands That the Coroner
Burn No Daylight.
Chicago, Nov. 17.-There was q dra-
matte scene yesterday while the inquiry
into the death Of John B. Ketcham was
In progress at the Indiana avenue home
Of his widow. But two witnesses hal
been examined by the deputy coroner
and statements Of the two attending ply
sicians submitted, when it was an
nounced that, owing to the inability of
the chemist to complete the analysis Of
the stomach Of the deceased, the inquest
would be adjourned fer 6 week. This
brought Mrs. Keteham to her feet in an
instant
Il want an investigation" she said,
and l want thorough one, but 1 am
not satisfied with this. l have some
rights and demand that they be con-
sidered before the inquiry is postponed
a week. That will not do. The chemist
can conclude this work in less time than
that. Think what must endure in that
time" continued Mrs. Ketcham, her
voice breaking and her whole body
trembling with emotion. This investi-
CATION must be thorough. That is my
right. Why can't it be continued in a
day or two?"
Her pleading was not without effect,
for it was finally decided to continue the
inquiry Friday afternoon, by which
time the chemists analysis will have
been completed
ketcham will be buried in the family
plot at Toledo. What promised to be a
difficulty between Mrs. Ketcham and the
relativescf the dead clubman was avert
ed yesterday by Mrs. Ketcham, who be-
fore the inquest was called, turned her
alleged husbands body over to his
brother. George Ketcham, who left with
1t for Toledo last evening. A funeral
service was held at Mrs. Ketcham's res
idence.
