INVESTIGATE WOMAN'S DEATH
CorOners of New York and PhiIadel-
phia at work on Todd
Case.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.--Acting upon a sus-
picion that Mrs. Margareta Todd, a wealthy
widow aged rs years, was the victim Of
foul play, Coroner Scholer of this city
and Coroner Dugan of Philadelphia today
began an investigation of the mysterious
facts attending her death and the puzzling
moves that formed it.
The value of Mrs. Todd's estate is
estimated at more than $l5O,OOO and
possibly 100000. She wore when found
dead on the Reading railway tracks
in Philadelphia last Friday, several thou
sand dollars worth of Jewels. II was
learned, however that Mrs. Todd usually
wore a belt in which she carried large
sum of money. So far no trace has been
found of this belt.
An anonymous letter was received by
Coroner Scholer today describing Mrs.
Todd's murderer with cor siderable detail
1t was written in feminine hand The
letter stated that Mrs Todd was murdered
and the crime plotted in New York and
carried out in Philadelphia, to which they
say she was lured. Two men, the letter
stated-one the plotter and the other the
eXecutioner-and one woman who acted as
the decoy engaged in the crime. Upon ar
rival in Philadelphia Mrs Todd was met
and put in a carriage little distance from
the station. She was given knockout
drops and then driven to Paramount park,
where she was taken from the carriage
and left on the railroad tracks. The letter
concludes by asking the coroner to ex-
anime Mrs. Todds stomach for trace of the
drug used upon her in Philadelphia.
Coroner Scholer received a letter today
from Coroner Dugan of Philadelphia in
which he wrote that since the discovery
Of Mrs. Todds body, circumstances have
been found that require stringent investi-
cation as to her movements after leaving
the train i'm Philadelphia Coroner Dugan
said that he had been unable to find wit
nesses to give him information on that
point
Coroner Scholer was asked today by St.
Clair Tousey, brother-r-law of Mrs. Frank
Tousey, Mrs. Todd's daughter. to have an
autopsy made on the body of Mrs. Todd.
The coroner ordered it to be made to"
morrow.
