MOB CROWDED FUNERAL
OF Four Murder Victims and Many Of
Them Brought Picnic Lunches.

Troy, ~ ", Dec ls.--The last scene
in the Bloomingrove tragedy was enacted
yesterday afternoon, when the bodies Of
Mrs. Mary Morner, her son, Arthur, and
two daughters, Blanche and Edith, who
were murdered Tuesday noon presum-
ably by an Italian farm hand employed
by them, were laid at rest side by side
in the little cemetery at Defreestvile.
Although the hour for the funeral was
twelve o'clock, il was scarcely daylight
when the people began to arrive at the
farmhouse and by ten o'clock every road
leading TO the scene of the murder was
congested with automobiles and vehicles
of all kinds and pedestrians. AT ll:3O
there were over Ave thousand persons
congregated about the house or morbid
ly exploring the barn where the bodies
were found Wednesday night. Many of
the crowd brought lunches with them
and the scene took on the appearance
of a farmers picnic.
Shortly before 1880 Undertaken
Rockefeller appeared at the front door
of the cottage which had been kept Sc
curely locked and announced that all
who wished might view the remains.
There was a wild rush but Sheriff Cot
trell was there with several deputies and
compelled the eager spectators to line
up in an orderly manner, pass by the
caskets and out through the rear door.
The bodies were laid out in the parlor,
that Of the son, Arthur, in an oak coffin
and those of his mother and two sisters
in white caskets. There was a profu-
sion of flowers sent by neighbors and
friends for miles around.
For two hours the crowd filed through
the rooms and then the doors were or
dered closed but ii required the com
bined efforts of the sheriff and his twelve
men, assisted by number of sturdy
farmers to keep back those who had not
viewed the remains and were determined
to do so despite the stern command OF
the sheriff to keep back. In the crush
women tainted and.had to be carried out
and great confusion followed.
The services began at $50 and were
conducted by the Rev John Bulnes, pas
tor of the Bloomingrove Reformed
church of which the four members Of
the Morner family had been members.
! qpartette sang appropriate selections
and the minister in his remarks drew
a lesson from the tragedy, urging his
hearers to be ready for sudden death.
At the conclusion of the services the
pastor and many of the friends recited
the Christian Endeavor benediction, the
two girls having joined that organiza
tion just week ago yesterday.
-Four hearses bore the remains TO the
cemetery followed by a crowd. The serv-
ices at the grave were simple but inn
pressive. The quartette sang Lead
Kindly Light" and the minister read the
ritual. As the bodies were lowered into
the graves, men and women sobbed aloud,
and low-spoken threats against the muir
derer were heard.
