Phelan announced today that he would not hold an in quest, and burial Of the body will be permitted tomorrow.
 The investigation of Medical Fix auiner Garlfck disclosed the fact that when found, Hope was not in his bed room, but had locked the door of his home and had again locked himself in bathroom where he had used a flexible tube for inhaling the deadly fumes
 It was also ascertained that while agreeing to see his wife later in the evening, he stood Stratford avenue and East Main street, and bid her an afecdonate goodbye as she got on the trolley car. In fact a witness has been found who said that Hope stood beside a telegraph pole and followed with his eyes the disappearing car as far as it could be seen, still waving his hand toward it He then went di- rectIy to his home and committed the
 act that ended in death.
 The father and mother of the youns l man, as well as his wife, are today nearly prostrated with grief over the I afrHar.
 The Farmer is in receipt of a. letter today from Mrs. Fannie Bailey Keat- l ing of 1,2O9 Willow street, Hoboken, N T.. in which she denies tho story that Hope left home to join her. She says the fact that MT. Hope left his home is nothing to her, that she Is married and living at the address g1v- en and anyone who doubts her state naent is at liberty to call and ascertain the facts for themselves NSThe letter
 was written apparently before news o1 Hopes suicide reached Hoboken.
