Co. has purchased the two buildings
west of their store on East Main street
from the Seth Richards estate and will

trance in the center. The plans are

morning when asked about the pro
posed improvements that the firm
would continue as in the past to con

Think Death an Accident.

Following so closely upon the MUIR
der of Burdick, the death of Pencil
has given rise to all of ru-
mors, but the Investigations by the po-
lice have brought little that is new to
light and the general opinion is that
the tragedy was an accident pure and
simple. The stories that he had
planned his own death are given little
credence.
Has Given No Information.
Since being taken to the hospital
the condition of Mrs. Pencil has
been such that she has been unable to
give any information concerning the
accident.
Got His Automobile.
Rain had drizzled throughout the
afternoon yesterday and about $3.50
o'clock Pennell went to the automo-
bile barns and secured his machine.
The auto was the n in which he
used to take Mrs. Burdick riding and
which had been followed often by de.
tectives employed by Burdick. Leav-
ing his home Pencil went to Ken
sington avenue in the northeast sub
urbs of the city. Owing to a dismal
day the streets were quite deserted.
The Accident.
Two little boys, however, who hap
pened to be in the street at the time
saw the accident. In their story they
say that Mr.. Pencils hat was dis,
lodged by a gust of wind. He reached
for it. and a second later the machine
running at a speed OF ten or twelve
miles an hour swung sharply to the
left, listed to one side. with Mrs. Pen
nell rising from the seat, and her hus.
band striving seemingly to catch hold
of the steering rod, plunged over the
side of the precipice and Into the quar-
ry, which runs along Kensington av
enue, about eight feet from the curb
A woman's scream marked the disap
pearance of the conveyance from the
sight of the boys and a moment latel
the youngsters heard a crash.
In falling the automobile keeled owe
and fell box down, with one of the
edges of the box on Mr.. Pencils
head, which was fiattened out. Mrs
Pencil lay partly under the convey
ance unconscious. At the hospital il
was found that she had a cut four inch
es long above her right eye and a
fractured skull. Her right arm was
fractured above the wrist, the index
finger of her left hand was broken, hel
face vas badly cut and body much
| bruised.
