aged and wealthy woman whose nlyster-
ious death near Philadelphia last fall
has never been fully explained, was be-
gun yesterday. Mrs. Todd's body was
found on the railroad tracks and there
was evidence that the body had been
carried there after death in order to
conceal foul play.

ter, Mrs. Frank Tousey, and her grand

he said he had written. 1t was dated
July S, 1908, and was addressed to the
manager of the apartment house in
which Mrs. Todd lived. Lockwood ex-
planned that he referred to a man named
Heal, who frequently visited Mrs. Todd
when he wrote;
"That little son of a gun is a dirty
little beogar. She promised me faith-
fully not to leave him a cent. If he

letter Lockwood had testified that he
did not have a key made for Mrs, Todd's

manager Of the apartment house that
it was unsafe for the lady to live all
alone in her Apartment and suggested
that it might be well if he provided a
duplicate key.

titled that in an interview with Mr..
