Tousey, Mr.. Hastings and detectives in
their employ on the ground Of trespass.
II the Magistrate would not issue the war
rant, he would take the case to the Grand
Jury. He also expected to bring civil

That" said Theron Davis, who repre-
sented MIR. Hastings while the latter was
in Flushing yesterday, lis exactly what
we want him to do. We want Lockwood
to show his hand We want him to get on
the stand and explain all about his con-
nection with the case
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5.-1mportant de-
velopments followed one another rapidly
to-day in the Todd mystery, With the
return here Of James A. Lyons, the
night carriage agent for the Union Transfer
Company at the Reading terminal. from
New York, the theory that Mrs. Todd met
with foul play at the hands of unknown
persons interested in the disposal OF her
vast estate was strengthened.
LYONS declared that he was positive,
after viewing Mrs, Todd's body, that she
had passed him with two men shortly after
o'clock at the foot of the stairway leading
from the train floor of tn e Reading ter
minal to Market street on the night vi her
arrival in this city and four hours before her
body was found. He said:
THE moment | saw Mrs. Todd's body at
the undertaking establishment in New York
| recognized her as the woman who had
passed me on that evening while was on
duty at the Rea ding terminal. Detectives
came to see me at my home at 1903 South
Watts street and asked me to accompany
them to New York l learned after we
started for Newly ork together that they were
from that city and had been quietly work.
ing on the death OF Mrs. Todd.
They took me to the undertaking estab-
lishment in New York where her body
was, and no sooner did l SEQ her face than
recognized her. l did not have to hesitate
a moment.
"She had a striking face and recalled
as | looked upon it in death how it wore
troubled look as she passed me between
the two men, Az said in the first place,
the number of costly jewels she displayed
upon her fingers attracted my attention to
her as well as the gaudy clothing she had
on. She was dressed more like a young
girl than an old woman, and presented
altogether figure that would excite curios-
ity anywhere.
Il gave so much attention to her at the
time that my recollection OF the two men
who we're with her is not of the best. but,
as told you on Friday evening, l think
one OF them was short and the other tall,
while both of them were many years the
old woman's junior.
After / had identified Mrs. Todd's body
as that of the woman l had seen leave the
terminal with two men, the New York
detectives took me on a tour Of New York.
They ere not very communicative, but
they said they wanted me to see several
persons who were under suspicion there.
One of these persons seemed to be in hidin g
and | did not see him, but l was own
one OF two other men, one Of whom seemed
rather familiar.
Now, those detectives asked me not to
talk when came back here. There is big
end to the case which was explained to me
by the detectives who had me in tow, but it
might defeat the ends Of Justice If l we're
to even intimate the nature of it, l was
given to understand in New York that there
is more behind this case than has yet ap-
peared in the newspapers and l know that
detectives are bending every energy in that
city and in this to unravel the mystery"
