POINTS &c. PENNELL.
Witness at the Inquest In Buffalo
Satisfied as to the Person ~
z2, Who Killed Burdick. Il

Buffalo, N. Y, March 19.-The name
OF Arthur r. Pencil, who was named
as correspondent in the Burdick di-
vorce proceedings and who met q
terrible death in Genres stone quar-
ry two weeks after Edwin L. Bur-
dick was murdered, constantly came
to the surface in the inquest before
Judge Murphy Tuesday. Charles S:
5Parke, Burdick's former business
partner and close friend, while on the
witness stand gave it as his opinion,
based upon information and SUPPOSE
ton, that Pencil or hired assassin
killed Burdick. Fear of disclosures
growing out of the divorce proceed
ings instituted by Mr.. Burdick against
his wife, Mr.. Parke firmly believed,
was the motive for the crime. Mr..
Parke told of conversations he had
with Burdick relative to trouble with
Pennell. On one occasion Burdick
told Parke that Pencil had threat
ened suicide if the suit was not
stopped. Pencil threatened to kill
both himself and Mrs. Burdick.
Mrs. Gertrude B. Paine, the wife
of DR.. Seth T. Paine, an intimate
friend of the Pencils and the Bur-
dicks, was closely questioned regard
ing the relations between the two
families. Mrs. Paine denied having

WASHINGTON. Dec SIT is said
that Charles r. Murphy is aiming high
for his friend. George Il. Mcclellan.
Statements made by members Of the
house from New York and by other
friends of the mayor elect indicate that
the leader of Tammany desires to pre-
sent the name of Mr. Mcclellan to the
Democrats of the country as a candi-
date for president, and he would like
to do it Mt the next national conven-
ton instead of waiting for the con
Yention to be held in 1908. This is
said TO be the reason why Mr. Murphy
is fighting shy of making any agree
ment with David b. Hill to have the
New York delegation to the next Dem
ocratic national convention vote solid
