Mrs. Gray Buried With Only Two
Mourners-Eo Flowers From Her
Lover for Her Bier.

NEW YORK, May S.-Without flower
or other token of regard from the man
because OF whom she killed herself the
body of Mrs. James W. Gray. the beau
tiful octoroon who fired a bullet into her
brain in the Hotel Imperial on Saturday,
has been placed in Keusico Cemetery.
Only two mourners followed the body
to its last resting place. and they were
casual friends of the woman.

Storage Warehouse. where she had fur
niture stored arranged for her burial in
accordance with the request made in
letter she left addressed to him. Mr..
Maxwell and Mrs. Minnie Grace San
ford, with whom Mrs Gray lived at diff
ferent times. attended the interment.
No Sign of Lever.
If Mrs. Gray sought to stir the feel
ings of her former admfrer by killing
herself, there was nothing at the fun
eral to show that she had succeeded.
The love of which she wrote in her last
letters remained unanswered, and no
sign of recognition came from the man
to whom the letters were addressed.
1t was pathetic spectacle, as the
body of the woman was taken from an
undertaking establishment in Amster-
dam avenue yesterday morning anc
placed on a train to be taken to the
cemetery. Not IA word Waa heard from

He had denied on Saturday night that
he knew the woman or had ever met
her. Stoneham also said that he could
not account for the fact that the love
letters which she wrote before firing the
bullet into her head were addressed to
him.

fronted by the letters Of the dead

she referred, several belIboys, the maid,
