LETTER IN
TODD CASE
MISSING

New York. Nov. 6.-Coroner Scholcr an
nounced last night that he proposed TO go
before District Attorney Jerome with SIN
clair Tousey today and lay before him
the Developments OF the Margaretta Todd
case.
Such a network of conspiracy and in
trigue has been revealed by all the reccn,
developments" said the coroner. "and
there is such strong evidence OF foul MAY
and such a powerful motive for crime that
the ends Of Justice absolutely demand a
rigid and exhaustive eXamination.r
James j. Lyons. the night carriage
agent OF the Reading Terminal Phia-
delphia who identified Mrs Margaretta
Todd as the woman whom he saw I'm COM
pany with the two men in The Reading
Terminal on the night OF her death. re-
turned TO Philadelphia early yesterday
morning
lie was urged TO remain. in order that
he might have an opportunlLH- -te-tetf-
front men acquainted with Mrs. Todd and
discover whether or not they were those
he saw with her. but he said he could
not longer remain away from his business
Beyond the fact that the taller OF the
two men was leaning over and talking
most earnestly to Mrs Todd, Mr.. Lyons
added nothing TO his previous accounts OF
tho occurrence.
Neither Coroner SchoIer nor the police
knew that Lyons was i'm the city until
after he had taken his departure. The
police apparently did not care Their
interest In the case up 10 the present time
has been no greater than that OF the
casual reader
THE police of Philadelphia haven't
asked us To investigate" said the SER
geant in charge of the detective bureau
I'VE have done nothing. and probably
will not do anything until they do, for
the reason that the crime, If any was
committed in Philadelphia. 1t is case
for the Philadelphia police and for them
alone"
Coroner Scholcr. on the other hand. was
very much veNed because Lyons presence
i'm the city was not reported TO him. so
that he could take a verified statement.
He expressed his veXation TO Manager
Radcliffe Of the stephen Merritt company
this afternoon Mr.. Radcliffe told him
that he was unable TO find him on the
telephone at the time OF Lyons arrival
The hiatus in the police investigation
caused by the question of dual jurisdic-
tion Is also source OF great concern TO
Sinclair Tossey aud his attorneys. AL
most all the salient features OF the case
up 10 the present time have been brought
out by Mr. Tousey.
A thorough search of Mrs. Todds apart
ments was made yesterday in the hope OF
finding a letter received by her from
Bridesburg on the day OF her death. This
place was her destination; Yet no one has
been able TO explain why she went there.
one Of the private detectives In the Van
Hoffman is certain that he saw a letter
with a Bridesburg postmark only day
or so ago, but the search failed 10 reveal
IL. II the letter can be found 1t will un-
doubtedly supply an important -llnk=ln
the chain of testimony and may solve tho
mystery altogether.

II see no justification for the idea held
by so many Christians that as soon as a

independent Ticket.

Boston. Nov. 22.-The Boston mayoralty
contest was somewhat complicated last
night by the announcement of Judge
Henry s. Dewey that he would become
an Independent candidate for the office.
Judge Dewey was a candidate at the
primaries for the Republican nomination
against Louis \. rockingham. who de-
feated the Judge by only 1886 votes. An Ell
fort was made TO a v Judge Dewey ac-
cept the decision OF the primaries, but
this he has refused 20 DO.
The Republicans had hoped 10 secure
the united vote OF the party for candidate
rockingham and also TO attract a con-
siderable number Of Democrats, but the
determination OF Judge Dewey TO be a
candidate Is liable 10 split the Republican
vote and make the campaign the easier
for the Democratic candidate, John +.
Fitzgerald.
