and In the presence of no one besides the
contracting undertakes his assistants and
several grave diggerss the mortal romans
of Mrs. Karl Lamerrette Hansen. who put
an end to her existence by inhaling illumi-
mating gas, after the disappearance Of her
husband, were laid in their final resting
place In the unconsecrated section of the
Holy Rood cemetery shortly before noon
today.
+ Unusual difficulties were encountered In
the matter Of obtaining a grave for the
remains of the dead woman. 1t was or
iginally intended that the in.erment should
be made in the Episcopal cemetary at Ten
leytown. and Rev. j. c. Bratehnal, rector
of st. Adams Church, had agreed to con-
duct the religious ceremonies. When 1t
was learned that, owing to the street ex-
tension scheme, no more burfals could De
made In that cemetery, those In charge OF
the funeral arrangements WERE OF neces-
sity, compelled to change their plans A
site was then sought in the Methodist
that that cemetery also had its full quota
of graves In the meantime, Rev. MI
Bratehnal was apprised of the change IN
the plans and was informed that, II need
ed, he would be given notice.. -
Finally an appeal was made to the ON
cials of Holy Rood cemetery, who con,
scented to allow the body to be inferred
in the unconsecrated section of the
grounds, but Mr.. Bratehnal received no
notification that his presence was desired
at the grave of the unfortunate woman
The rules Of that cemetery, 1t is said. pro-
vide that no other than Catholic divine
shall officiate at the burials there The ex-
pense of the funeral of the dead woman
will be borne by a number of persons VINO
were friends of the Hansen family.
Police Searching for Hansen.
Capt. Boardman and Acting Coroner
Glazebrook are still endeavoring to. learn
something concerning Hansen. They learned
today something additional about the man,
but nothing to give them a definite idea as
to where he has gone. 1t was learned that
Hansen had frequently said he intended to
return to Denmark. Friends of Hansen told
the deputy coroner today that they felt
certain he has returned to his native coun-
try. So far as his friends i'll this city know
Hansen came here about 1896. He had
served in the Brooklyn navy yard as or
derby for Admiral Kirkland and was known
at the local marine barracks to Col. Hey
wood and others. During conversation
with an acquaintance about 1900 he Is re-
ported to have made the remark: We
been married once and have enough"
1t is believed he married his second wife
in Brooklyn, where, 1t is said, she was a
member Of a church choir One day he met
a friend on the street and told Of his second
marriage He said he supposed he would
have to join the Episcopal Church, as his
second wife was an Episcopalian. Hansen
was an active worker In the Central Union
Mission and a friend OF the Rev. w. L.
Bruen. who had taken m interest in him.
He had told friends that he was converted
through the influences of the Central Union
Mission and that he was formerly gam
bier. One statement he Dis reported to have
made is that he kept a sporting resort on
Sands street, Brooklyn Nearly week
ago friends of Hansen made inquiry rela-
tive to his whereabouts and a suggestion
was made that he had gone to Saratoga
to play the races, but those who were best
acquainted with him felt certain that he
had not gone there. In confirmation of this
Captain Boardman was notified by tele-
graph today that Hansen could not be To-
Gated in Saratoga.
