MRS. BRANDON'S FUNERAL

Father of Murdered Woman's
Husband.

Rev. DR.. Robert Talbot. rector of St
Paufs Protestant Episcopal Church
where Mrs. Lottie May Haislup Bran
don attended Sunday school as a little
the Episcopal church at the funeral
services for the young woman who was
murdered at Annapolis.
More than 300 people were gathered
about the front of the house while the
service was in progress, and police OF
the ninth precinct, as well as detec-
tiveS assigned from the central office
kept the crowd back as the coffin was
placed in a hearse to be conveyed to
GlenWood cemetery.
The funeral was held from the home
of Leroy Brandon, 914 9th street north
east father of Valentine Brandon, hus-
band of the murdered woman.
The parlor. where the service was
held. was filled with relatives of the
young woman and of her husband. She
had four sisters and four brothers, all
of whom were present During the
service her father, Randall Haislup,
half supported her mother, who has
been suffering a nervous breakdown
since the tragedy. and several times
she was about to collapse during the
service. Some of the relatives stood
on the porch while the service was be-
ing read.
DR.. Talbot made no comment. The
crowd about the house was made up of
men. women and children. some of
them merely curious and others who
had been playmates of the Brandon or
Haislup children. Before her marriage
Mrs. Brandon lived at the Haislup
home. at 1929 Virginia avenue north
west.
Camera men were on the scene and
their instruments clicked as the pro-
cession moved slowly away from the
home to Glenwood cemetery.
