Foneral of the Coachman Stopped To-Day by Order of the Police ‘MDENGES OF FOUL PLY, His Widow Thought His Death Suspicious and Made an Investigation. QNJURED AS A PEACEMAKER, tt is Claimed that He Was Badly Beaten by Rival Hack Drivers. ‘The Coroner, on the advice of the po- Noe of the it Thirty-fifth street sta- tlon, this morning stopped the funeral of James St. John, the coachman, of 49 Vourth avenue, who waa found dead last Saturday morning on the stoop of 110 East Forty-first street. An autopsy was ma and Deputy Coroner P, H. O'Hanlon, Acting for Coroner O'Meagher, found Mothing to excite suspicion, and the death certificate was granied, the burial permit being issued by the Board of ‘Health In the regular course. St. John left a widow and three chil- dren, Mrs St. John was not quite sat- isfled with the circumstances aurround- ing his death. She vegan an investiga- tion on her own account, and found some suspicious circumstances, She then went to the ,olice, The police then made an Investigation fn ccnjunction with Coroner Hoeber. Tt was found that last Friday after- hoon St. John had been st: man named George Myers. ‘This blow was the result of a feud of long stand- ing between Banks, who has the licensed cab-stand, and the independent cabmen in the nelghborhood. At this time, Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock, # driver named Joseph McCabe was putting some passengers into his cab, when Myers suid that the people belonged to nim. In the altercation which followed Mc- Cabe was knocked down, St. John got between the men as a peacemaker, and was, it is claimed, struck several blows on the head by Myers. After that St, John seemed to be Gazed. He went at once to the saloon on Forty-first street and took a drink of @eltzer, but was unable to retain it. ‘The people in the saloon say that they put him out when they closed up at 1 ‘clock Saturday morning. He appeared | Wesed then. They thought that he was @runk. Now the police are trying to find @ut whether the man was not dead when he was put out on the street. The police got the main facts of the fight from Edward Willis, a carriage- builder. of Twenty-first street and Sec- ond avenue. Mr. Banks saw tne fight. | He says he told a patrolman who stood front of the Grand Central Biation. it the petrelinsn thought that it was Bot on his post. .
