CHARGES DEAD WITH CRIME. ^ Judge Murphy's Nummary of the Kurdict Testimony. ^ v Buffalo, N. Y., March 31.?The verdict in the Burdict inquest. ' II handed down by Judge Murphy ^ today, while stating that the ^ identity of the murderer of Ed ^ win L. Burdict has not been prov- tt en, practically charges Arthur R. ^ l'ennel, the dead lawyer, with ^ the crime. , 1( l'ennel had a stronger motive ^ than any one else for putting ^ Burdick out of the wav, Judge ' R] Murphy says, and all the facts j brought out by the inquest consti- ^ tutes just, grounds for the issu ,j ance of a warrant against Pemiell u if he were alive. n The verdict is softened somewhat so far as it relates to l'ennel by 11 the statement that it l'ennel were j. alive he would be given the pre p sumption of innocence until prov- n en guilty. n In the opinion of Judge Murphy Burdick had no woman guest " * in his 4iden" on the night of the ^ murder and the crime was not tl A 1 I - 1* 1 > * * me wors 01 a ourgiar. lie ex a onorates Mrs. Gertrude B.

Hull and censures Mrs. tl Burdiok, the former lor her atti- .i" tude toward the authorities and the inconsistency of her actions ^ with the theory that she had no (, knowledge of the murder. t< Judge Murphy stated this after- k noon that he will hold the inquest into the death of Arthur 11 L. Fennel the latter part of this J| week or the first of next. Li Judge Murphy's findings con- h tain an exhaustive review of the evidence brought out during the ' o inquest. In the beginning of his report c Judge Murphy certifies that the 'I cause of Burdick's death <4was A compound, comminuted, mutiple V fracture of the skull. That said ; fracture was the result of several | / blows by some person with a dull ^ edged weapon, delivered with homicidal intent, and the identity of said person has not been provided." He reviews briefly the events of the evening preceding the mur der as brought out in the testi mony, which ho says does not * ehow that anything unusual oc- S curred at tlie Burdick house in the morning and of the events preceding its discovery as related by the different members of the household is told and the dis- ^ creponcies in the testimony of the servants and Mrs. Hull is pointed out. I Where is the motive for the ^4 crime?" asks Judge Murphy, and V then he takes up the relations of Irs. Burdict and Fennel and tl avs that it seems that five years ii go, on the occasion of a visit to p Jew Haven by the Burdicks and b 'ouuells, 2s. Burdick "gave the h [>ve which belonged to her hus- t< and to another. She loved Pen- ti iel and he apparently became u nfatuatod with her." Burdick h earned the truth and a separa-|e ion followed, but because of love | or his children he took his wife (| >ack and forgave the author of t lis wrong upon his promise to d eave Buffalo. "This promise and c lie promise which Mrs. Burdick li nade to her husband," saj s hidge Murphy, "were shameless- f y broken. Finally Mr. Burdick n old her she must leave his house, I nd he applied for a divorce from r lis wife. Pennel, however, in L uced her to defeat the suit, a lurdick had been shadowingPen- i ell and Mrs. Burdick and Pennell 1 ad detectives shadowing Bur- r ick. So far as appears from s lie evidence," says the Judge, t Pennell had not succeeded in t ompromising Burdick in any p ray. Burdick, however, had a a >t of evidence, consisting of let- 8 ?rs written by Pennell to Mrs. d lurdick of such a gushing, love- |< irk, importuning nature that d leir publication meant complete a umiliation and Rocial ruin to n leir author. This, of all b thers," says the judge, "was the 01 lotive strong enough to incite a h esperate mind, already steeped tl 1 wrongdoing, to commit so foul ai nd cruel a murder. Did he do CJ ? Was he responsible for it? oi le had returned from the deal ei lan's wife the day before the p lurder. He was here that night, tl [e was very much excited thejb ext. morning and went and pur j c< naseu a revolver. 1 lie clerks it resent at the sale state I hut at hi lint time he did not appear at II like himself." I The judge tells of Pennell's visit fi 3 the tails on the discovery of the o lurder, of his message to his h rife to bring the papers and of k lieir failure to return for dinner e hat evening. Continuing, the o ldgo says in one of Pennell'a n otters to Mrs Burdict, thesr was i threat that he would kill her usbaiul. The cashier and bar- 1< seder. of a New York hotel also o as ti lied that he said he wou'd u ill a certain man, and Mrs Pen- n ell had written Burdict a warn- g lg letter Pennell had com p lete knowledge of the Burdick s< ome and considering his rela t< ions with the family it would g avo been an easy matter lor g im to obtain a key thereto.
