 These questions were addressed to Mrs Alice Hull Burdick this afternoon by District Attorney Ccatsworth, at the inquest into the death of her hus- band. The answers were returned by Mrs. Burdick in Q calm. clear voice. The questions came abruptly while the district attorney was drawing from Mrs. Burdick information about her re- iations with Arthur k. Pennell. She had denied that Pennell took her key 10 the frcnt door of the Burdick home while they were in New York together and had duplicates made of it. The district attorney put the question re sarding the key to Mrs. Burdick in q number of different forms, but the answers Were always emphatic denials that she OrNPennell ever ordered dupli- cate keys or that the key had left her possession during her last exile from home. Mrs. Burdick was caimer and more collected today than yesterday while testifying. She left the stand at 4:15.

Although it was among Mrs. Burdicks private papers in the vault, she claims to have been ignorant Of it's existence. Mrs. Burdick declared that the last time she saw Pennell was on Tuesday be:ore the murder. He left her that night in Atlantic City. arriving in Brf- falo on Wednesday.
