Burden, whose death from accidental gas poisoning occurred last Friday, was held at the Burden home, 908 Fifth avenue, Manhattan, this morning. The Rev. Dr. W. R.

Huntington of Grace Episcopal Church read the usual church service and made no address or comment of any nature. Choirmaster J. N. Heltenstein of Grace Church, with a quartet and twelve choir boys, sang hymns during the ceremony. There re were no pallbearers other than those furnished by the undertaker.

While the choir sang, the body, in a plain cusket of black, was brought from the third floor and placed at one end of the reception landing on the second floor. The walls of the hall were concealed by masses of flowers which were banked up in profusion everywhere, the superabundance being of purple lilacs, white roses, tuberoses and the green of the smilax filling. The family occupied one of the reception rooms opening off to the left from the landing, while the reception room on the opposite side was filled with friends of the family. When the casket was placed on the pedestal, Dr. Huntington, who less than a year ago officiated at the marriage ceremony of the one who lay before him, began the service with the words: "I am 'the resurrection and the life." The musical programme included "Lead, Kindly Light," "Now the Day is Over," "I Heard a Voice from Heaven," "'There is a Land of Pure Delight," and as a recessional, following the casket to the door of the mansion, the choir sang "Hark! Hark! Soul." "The cortege was but a small one.

In the first carriage were the bereaved husband and his brother, Arthur, and the mother of the dead woman, Mrs. George L. Rives. The second carriage held George L. Rives, Irving Townsend and Mrs.

The Retail Merchants Protective and Sunday Closing Association of South Brooklyn has begun a crusade against shopkeepers who violate the Sunday closing law.

Captain Barnett of the Fifth avenue station has assured them of his hearty co-operation and yesterday he detailed two men in plain clothes to catch offenders. They made two arrests. The association has also sent letters to the pastors of all churches in the district asking the co-operation of the tions. These letters were read from the pulpit yesterday. A similar crusade in the Bay Ridge section a short time ago was successful and very few places are open on Sunday in that section now.

Officers McSharry and Fitzgerald made two arrests for alleged violations of the Sunday closing law. Morris Simons of 387 Seventh avenue and Joseph L. Weber, who has a store at 410 Fifth avenue, were charged with selling collars to the policemen. Both pleaded not guilty in the Fifth avenue court before Magistrate Geismar to-day and their cases were adjourned, Weber's to March 3, and Simons' to February 25. MOTHER-IN-LAW ACCUSER.

Says Her Daughter's Husband Threatened to Kill Her, Mrs. Charlotte Johnson of 141 Summit street appeared as the complainant against her son-in-law. William Coyne, 25 years of age, in the Butler street court, this morning, and charged him with threatening to kill her with a revolver which he flourished under her nose. It was brought out that Coyne resented what he termed the interference of his mother-in-law in his affairs, and claimed that she was keeping her daughter- away from him. The young couple had a difference of opinion last week, and Mrs.

Johnson kept Mrs. Coyne in her apartments and refused to let the husband see her. However, they made up last Friday and all three of them went to a ball in Saengerbund Hall. Along about 2 o'clock in the morning Coyne wanted to go home, and he says his mother-in-law objected. There was quite a row at the time in the hall, and the two women went home together.

On Saturday night Coyne came home and his wife hid in a closet upstairs while Mrs. Johnson went down to the door. At that time, she asserts, Coyne threatened to kill her. The revolver was produced in court this morning, but Coyne claims 1: was unloaded. He was paroled by Magistrate Hylan to appear for examination on March 6.

AILICE HOLD THREE MEN IN THE ITALIAN MURDER Fenaro Last Arrested Said to Have Remarked That Victim Wouldn't Return. SCUTORE TELLS THIS FACT. And Scutore, Who Was Victim's Roommate, at Once Appropriated the Latter's Property. There are now three men locked up in connection with the murder of Salvatore Marchinne, whose mutilated body was found at Rochester avenue and Rutland road last Thursday forenoon, but none is charged with the crime and the trio are simply held as vagrants. The Eagle yesterday morning told of the arrest of Antonio Gonci and Giuseppe Fenaro, who were captured late on Saturday night.

and last night the third of the men was captured, namely, Salvatore Scutore, who was a room mate of Marchinne in the attic of the rear house at 13 Coles street. Scutore, police reason, had information that Marchinne would come the, back to the Coles street house, and they want to know from him who gave him that information. Last Thursday afternoon Vachris went to the room at 13 Coles street and noted that Marchinne's room mate, Scutore, had a1 propriated Marchione's mattress and had tied up his bedstead in such a way that it seemed as if it had been prepared 1 for removal. Then he found that Scutore had thrown out of a new satchel that Marchinne owned all of Marchinne's clothing and had filled it with his own. Vachris mentally commented that Scutore was fibbing when he said that he had no reason to suppose that the other occuof the room would not return, but pant, not arrest the man at that time.

He was more anxious to find Gonci and Fenaro, both of whom had, been in the hands of the police before and both of whom had been last seen in the dead man's company. Gonci was arrested in December last by Detectives Crowley and Ross of the Italsquad on suspicion of having buncoed a man, and his picture was not only in the local gallery of rogues and suspects, but was in the Mulberry street collection as well. In the case of Fenaro, he was arrested with Vito Leduca in connection with the "barrel mystery" in Manhattan some years ago. At that time the body of a man from Buffalo, Benedetto Mariana, was found, mutilated, in a barrel at the foot of East Eleventh street. The dead man had been traced to the butcher shop of Vito Leduca at 13 Stanton street, Manhattan, and he had been seen in the company of Genaro and Leduca before his death.

It was said that the murderer of the man from Buffalo was a Sicilian known as Petto the Ox. but at any rate nothing was proven at the time against Leduca and Fenaro, and they were released from custody. The Killing of Leduca. Leduca was stabbed to death, according to dispatches from Italy, one day last week in Carmini, a suburb of Palermo, in Sicily. and the small town from which Marchinne came and where his father, Antonio Marchinne, is nOW living.

The killing of Leduca is of more than ordinary interest at this time, because it would seem that Fenaro and Leduca, and even Marchinne, were all mixed up together in questionable association. After Leduca moved from Stanton street he opened a butcher shop at the corner of Bridge and Johnson streets, in this borough, and while he was in business there, Toni Merandino, a little boy, was kidnapped from his father's home at 556A Seventeenth street, in this borough. Almost immediately after Vachris and his men started to investigate the kidnapping, which was of the characteristic Black Hand order. Leduct suddenly shut up his Brooklyn shop and disappeared. The child was returned, and Vacbris says that he believes a ransom was paid for him.

But Vachris did not give up his quest for Leduca, who was supposed to be the kidnapper, and he finally located him keeping another butcher shop in Baltimore. He was then living under his wife's name-Paselaqua. The detective caused his arrest, and he was brought back to Brooklyn and charged with the abduction, but the child's father declined to go on the witness stand to testify against him and Leduca was discharged for lack of evidence. He had been in America but a short time, but when he left the country soon after that the police found out that he had acquired wealth that was not made, apparently, as A butcrer. Counterfeiting, kidnapping and even murder were given as the sources of Leduca's amazing prosperity.

Since he got back to Italy he had been living on his money, and living well, but the news of his murder would indicate that some of his enemies did forget him hole even in Sicily. Coincidence in Assassinations. The death of Marchinne in Brooklyn at about the same time that Leduca was butchered in Carmini may be a simple coincidence. The police cannot But the local authorities are Inclined to the belief that Marchinne was killed in connection with the feud that followed the the Chamber of Deputies in Palermo and arrest of Raefello Palizzolo, member of said to be a chief of the Mafia. Vachris and his men are merely groping now for some motive that may lead to the murderers, and the place where he was killed, and they claim to have reason to hold Gonci, Fenaro and Scutore for the present at least.

They have evidence that Gonci, Scutaro and Fenaro played cards with Marchinne in his room on Sunday A week ago, and there is a witness they may produce, who will say that he saw Marchinne, Gonci and Fenaro at the corner of Coles street and Hamilton avenue between 3:30 and 4 o'clock last Wednesday afternoon. It was in the pouring ran and the three men seemed to be debating some question with much earnestness. The witness, who knew all three of the men, said that they were talking in whispers, with much gesticulation and apparently most earnestly. Marchinne was killed either on Wednesday night or early on Thursday morning and his body was found morning shortly before 10 o'clock on Thursday miles away from this place. But the theory of the police is that, he was induced to go to some house for the slaughter.

The scene of the murder has not been located, but Vachris does not believe that the killing was in the Red Hook district but rather somewhere nearer to Prospective Civil Service employes will find no better book for reference than THE EAGLE ALMANAC 1908 PRICE 50c. Bound in cloth To answer questions. the place where the body was found. The police do not believe, either, that the remains were taken in a wagon. That might be traced.

They are rather inclined to the theory that he was killed not far from the where the body was abandoned and that the two men carried the two gbastly parcels to the spot where they were found. The men must have been powerful, but the dismemberment of the remains was plainly for convenience in transportation. There is an Irish settlement not far from where the body was found and the belief of the police now is that the killing was in some nearby shack. But that is all conjecture. is still anxious to learn who sold the oilcloth in which the rewrapped, but 50 far no storekeeper has come forward to testity.

The police find much difficulty in getting information from any of the Italians, even from respectable Italian storekeepers. one, of the men questioned by Vachris on Saturday begged him get out of his store. "Go Away or I'll Be Killed." "Please, dear said he, "go away. I'll be killed it I seen speaking to you. Please, dear Mr.

Vachris, leave the store." Vachris tried to squeeze some information out of Scutore this morning, but he did not get much. The man at first said that his only reason for believing that Marchinne would not return to the Coles street house, and his reason tor appropriating his property was that he thought that maybe -Marchinnne had gone to visit his brother, Giuseppe Marchinne, whose home is in Detroit. Vachris has been trying to get into communication with this brother and has failed. He asked Scutore if the mere fact that Marchinne might have gone to Detrolt should warrant him in appropriating his roommate's bedding and satchel and the man simply shrugged his shoulders and threw up his hands. But mission that Fenaro had told him that further questioning led him to the admaybe Marchinne would not return, and that was most significant as far as Fenaro was concerned.

Fenare and Gonci are related by marriage. The latter was clad in clean and new underwear when he was arrested, and Vachris regarded that as a most suspicious circumstance. Then the man declared that he had not changed his clothing since Sunday a week ago, three days before the murder of Marchinne. Vachris pointed out that there was no evidence of this, and that his clothing was too new for any such explanation. Then Gonci admitted that he had only recently, and just before his arrest, ciad himself anew from his skin out.

There was, however, no evidence on which Vachris and his men could hold the prisoner for any connection with the murder of Marchinne, and so a charge of vagrancy was instituted against him. The cases of the three alleged vagrants were postponed for hearing to-morrow morning, in the Adams street court, and by that time the local detectives expect to have something new in the case. Other arrests will be made to-day. Vachris 18 working on the matter with his men in cooperation with Inspector O'Brien, of the district in which the body was found, Captain Dulfer and Acting Captain Kuhne, the chief of the local detective bureau. SMITH MURDER TRIAL DRAGS.

Jury Box Filled Several Times, but Soon Partly Emptied--Trial May Begin To-day. (Special to the Eagle.) Mineola, L. February 24-The work of obtaining a jury in the case of Martin Smith Mineola, indicted for murder in the first degree, was continued in the Nassau County Supreme Court this morning and shortly after 11 o'clock the box was filled, and it was expected that the trial would proceed, Four of the men temporarily accepted were excluded by peremptory challenges, however. both District Attorney Coles and Lawyer Stoddart, the counsel for Smith, taking advantage of their remaining number of challenges. Few of these are now left to either side, and it is believed that a jury will be obtained and the taking of testimony begin after the noon recess.

The case of Smith was called on Thursday morning last, and since that time the work of getting a jury satisfactory to the people and to the defense has dragged along. The regular and four special panels of talesmen were exhausted, and this morning a special panel of seventy-five, drawn on Friday, was taken up and drawn from. A number of these were excused by the court for various legal exemption3 and disqualifications, thereby reducing the number of talesmen available to less than fifty. Smith was indicted for the murder of his wife at their home here last September. The defense is insanity.

Justice Garretson directed that all jurors who had been personally served and failed to answer be fined $25. Payne Whitney was one of the jurors drawn who, failed to answer to his name. He was not personally served, and therefore escaped a fine. CORTELYOU CLUB FIRE. Energy of Employe and Quick Response of Firemen Saved Clubhouse.

To the promptness of William Hesshen, an employe of the Cortelyou Club, Ditmas and Bedford avenues, is due the fact that the beautiful building was not totally destroyed by fire yesterday. Hesshen, who was in the building early Sunday morning, discovered a blaze on the first floor, and immediately sounded an alarm of fire. Quick work on the part of the local firemen resulted in a small damage, estimated at $100. It was 2 o'clock, after the last member of the Cortelyou Club had gone home, that Hesshen was preparing to leave the clubhouse. He had been upstairs during the greater part of the evening and started take a last look around before locking tin up.

Smoke issuing from the first floor and through the stairway opening attracted his attention. When he traced the origin of the smoke the flames were shooting upward from the carpet and were making rapid headway. from buckets at Arst, but while he sucHasshen fought the flames with water ceeded in saturating the carpet around a the blaze sufficiently to stave off the rapid progress, he was unable to combat the flames alone. When Fire Battalion Chief Kellock and the firemen from Church avenue arrived at the scene their work was cut out for them. The small fire extinguishers were used with good effect and extinguished the fire.

The blaze is thought to have started from a lighted cigarette, thrown carelessly toward a cuspidor, failing its mark and falling on the carpet. It is not certain who threw the cigarette. The Cortelyou clubhouse has only beer recently remodeled and considerably enlarged. The accommodations have been so increased. indeed, that it was decided recently to withdraw the membership limit fron: 300 and make it 400.

Since that time, about a month ago, that number has been almost completed, from a list of applications awaiting consideratien. It is one of the most popular clubs in. Flatbush and has among its members many of the representative residents of that section. On Wednesday evening the annual dinner will be held at the clubnouse. Hesshen, although he was alone when the fire started, is not blamed for carelessness, but on the contrary, is credited with an unusual amount of energy, which aided in the saving of the Cortelyou Club house.

HOLD-UP VICTIM FARLEY NOW ACCUSES DAWKINS Citizen Whose Complaint Was Scoffed at Testifies Against Blue Coat. BURGLARY CHARGE ON TRIAL. Policeman-Prisoner's Defense Still to Be Divulged -Elder Strengthening Case. The strange story of charges against.

a policeman's honesty and of his consorting with burglars--in fact, taking part in burglaries--being told in the criminal term of the county court, where Policeman George Dawkins is on trial, lost none of its interest day when resumed before Judge Dike and jury. The court to room was as criwded as on Friday and Assistant District Attorney Elder spent the morning session in building up roborating 'evidence against the accused patrolman. defense of Lawyer Edward J. Reilly, as attorney for the accused, has yet to be divulged. It was on Thursday, last that "Scott" Ryan, burglar "all-round crook," gave his testimony, implicating Dawkins in one burglary and a "bold-up" as well, and following the burglar's testimony came that of Mrs.

Bridget Ryan, a policeman's widow, W. which testimony, Mr. Elder asserted, showed the motive for Dawkins' alleged criminal acts--the imperative need of money. Mrs. Ryan's testimony was sensational.

She admitted that at least three criminal operations had been performed upon her since her intimacy with the accused, and Dr. John J. A. O'Reilly, a well known South Brooklyn physician, testified on Friday that he had been directed by District Attorney's office to attend the woman after the last operation and when she was in a dangerous condition and that he had difficulty in saving her life. Dr.

O'Reilly was one of Mr. Elder's most im- portant winesses. The testimony to-day started with John Farley, whose remarkable story of being held up by Dawkins one early morning on Dawkins' post, was touched up by "Scott" Ryan in his story on the witness stand. At the time it happened Farley made a charge against the policeman, but it was hardly believed. To-day he repeated it and believed.

To-day he repeated it and It it varied but little from story told by Ryan. Ryan said he took the money from Farley's pocket while Dawkins was shoving him about and Farley said that it was the policeman who took the money. Farley, who had every appearance of being a good sort of a citizen and in comfortable circumstances, after giving his name, address and occupation, he is a compositor on one of the morning newspapers, told how he happened to be on Myrtle avenue the night he was robbed. He was through work and it was after closing hours for saloons. He said he Dawkins and asked him where he met could get a drink.

He said that Dawkins told him of a place which, said the policeman, kept open all night. Later Dawkins came into the saloon, Farley said, and Ryan was with him. They had a couple of drinks. When they came out, Dawkins, the witness declared, pushed him about and slapped him about the pockets, as if to discover whether he had a roll of money. He told of the money being abstracted and of his identification the next morning of Dawkins in the police station a8 the one who had robbed him.

Following Farley as a witness was Mrs. Ryan, the wife of the burglar, and her testimony was strongly corroborative of her husband, who had said that Dawkins was a frequent visitor at their home. Mrs. Ryan, said that Dawkins frequently came to see her husband at his home. ABBEY GETS AN ORDER.

Kingston Editor's Case to Be Heard in Brooklyn Wednesday. The fight of Kingstonites against the publication of the Square Dealer is to be fought out in Brooklyn This morning Supreme Court Justice Carr, in Special Term, granted an order directing the police of Ulster County to show cause why they should not be restrained from terfering with the office and the publication. of the newspaper. which is published every week in Kingston, N. the editor being Stephen H.

Abbey. There have been published recently in the Square Dealer articles to which some of the citizens of that town have taken offense and an effort was made on Washington's Birthday to stop the circulation of the paper. Editor Abbey now seeks by an injunction to stop the constabulary of the town and county from bothering him, and on Wednesday Justice Carr will hear argument as to why the temporary injunction should not be made permanent. THREW HIMSELF ON FENDER. Strange' Actions of Feldman, With No Money and No Home.

While on post at Broadway and Lorimer yesterday afternoon, Policeman Waldecker of the Stagg street street, station was approached by a young man who gave his name as Abraham Feldman and said that he had no home. Feldman said that he had been lured into a house and robbed. The officer asked the man to point out the house. But the alleged victim pointed out 80 many houses that the policeman finally decided that the man did not know what he was talking about. He advised him to go about his business.

Feldman walked to the street and waited apparently for a car. Soon a car of the Broadway line came along. Feldman waited until the car was almost opposite him and then suddenly darted into the street, and directly in front of the car. He was struck by the fender and dragged some distance. Policeman Waldecker had seen the accident and sent in a call for an ambulance to St.

Catherine's Hospital. The surgeon said that beyond a few scratches the man was uninjured. He was then locked up on a charge of disorderly conduct. At the station house, $11 was found in his possession. Magistrate O'Reilly discharged him in court this morning.

The man did not appear to be in his right mind. THREE SUDDEN DEATHS. Two From Heart Failure and One From Bright's Disease. While visiting the home of Mrs. Barbara Ozey, at 181 North Seventh street, yesterday William Culley.
