FUNERAL Of R. R.
CHIEF IS HELD UP


ceived at the Coroner's office saying
that number of letters which might
throw light upon the manner and the
cause of ME- Landlords death had
disappeared from his Brooklyn apart
ments.
Trace Removal of Letters.
Ever since Landlords body was
found lifeless from gas asphyxiation
on Thursday the police have been
pursuing various theories, chief
among them suicide, and Coroner
Wagner said he wanted to learn who
had taken the letters and what they
contained before he allowed the re-
mains to get out OF his jurisdiction.
Private detectives for the General
Accident insurance Company, in
which Mr.. Landlord was insured for
$4,000. are working upon an indie
pendent investigation started when
early reports of suicide gave way TO
accidental death.
Funeral services had just been con-
Quoted by the Rev. DR. Carroll Albert
son when Captain McElroy appeared
on the scene. A number of promi-
nent railway officials. including the
president of the Southern Railway,
were among the mourners.
Coroner Promised Letters.
After a delay of couple of hours,
during which Coroner Wagner was
promised possession of a letter left
by Landlord for Miss Patterson, the
cortege was allowed to proceed and
the remains were placed upon the
special funeral train which started at
once for MARYLAND
The letter to Miss Patterson, which
was left in safe deposit box, was in
possession of James H. Dennis, exec
utor of Landlords will. 1t is expected
to throw light upon the RAILROAD Of
ficiars death.
The Rev DR.. Albertson was to have
married Mr.. Landlord and Miss Mel
lie Patterson, of Brooklyn, to-day at
the hour when the burial services
were begun.
Miss Patterson was unable to at
tend the funeral, being Frustrated
with grief.
Only Lease in Envelope.
The Coroner got shock when he
opened Miss Patterson's letter In
stead of containing anything to throw
light upon the tragedy, the envelope
held only lease for an apartment in
which Mr.. Landlord expected to live
with his bride after their marriage.
The wedding ring was found with the
envelope. Coroner Wagner announc-
ed, however. that he would continue
his investigations.
