Miro was a laundryman, who lved at 1423 Mason street and who committed suicide last Sunday by placing the muz- zle of a loaded shotgun in‘his mouth and pulling the trigger with his toe. An em- ploye of Mr. Iaccheri presented himself at the Coroner’s office with an order for the body purporting to have been signed by a brother of Miro. Chief Deputy Cor- orner McCormick accordingly turned over the body to the undertaker. Yesterday morning Undertaker Godeau, Lawyer P. A. Bergerot and Jean Marie Miro and Jacques Miro called upon Deputy MeCor- mick and informed him that the order had been unauthorized and that they de- sired to hand the body over to Undertaker Godeau, who, Mr. Bergerot said, had a con- tract with the Ligue Henri IV to bury all its deceased members. John Miro had Leen a member of that organization. J Coroner Leland was sent for-and he and Iaccheri and the gest had a meeting. Mr. Taccheri and his employe made state- ments to the effect that one of Miro's brothers had authorized the employe to sign his name to the order and t¢ take | charge of the body. It was further ex- plained that neither of Miro’s brothers could read or write. In response to questions by Coroner Le- 1dnd the brothers admitted that Mr. Tac- cheri’s statement was correct, but that after one brother had given the order to Iaccheri they changed their minds and wished the ligue to take charge of the funeral arrangements.” Mr. Bergerot said that the ligue would pay the funeral ex- penses if Mr. Godeau bad charge of the | funeral, but that it would not be respon- sible for any: sharges if Mr. Iaccheri had the funeral. The body was accordingly given to Un- | dertaker Godeau. MRS. GMTWLEY OPPOSES MARRIAGE OF HER SON Caleb J.
