POLICE HAVE A CLUE
Important Letters Taken
From Burdick's Room.
DRAWER FOUND OPEN
HOUSE IN ELMWooD DISTRICT
BEING WATCHED.
Positive Belief That They Know the
Woman Who Committed
the Murder.
DRAWER FOUND OPEN

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 5.-There were
no developments throughout the night in
the Burdick murder case. The officials
claim to be absolutely certain that the mur-
der was committed by a woman; that they
know the woman and that they can make
an arrest the moment their chain of evil
dence Is sufficient to secure a conviction.
A house in the Elmwood district is being
watched day and night. The police decline
to say why they are watching the house.
Last night for the first time the detectives
were withdrawn from the New York Cen
trail and other stations. This move is re-
garded as strong evidence that the police
believe they know where the murderer is
and that there Is no danger of escape.
An Important Discovery.
An important fact which the police have
that on the morning when the body Of
Burdick was discovered the top drawer in
table at the head of the couch where
the body lay was open Little significance
was attached to the fact at the time for
the reason that it was known almost at
the outset that robbery was not the mo-
tive for the crime. But, associated with
facts and circumstances uncovered since
then, it looms up, the police believe, as a
most important clue.
When the police reached the Burdick
house on the morning of the murder the
top drawer in the table was open. The po-
lice noticed it. Later in the day, when
their Investigations reached that point,
they questioned the occupants of the Bur-
dick house closely concerning that open

Cause of Death of Two Den

BOTH WERE PENNILESS
MRS. GEORGIA STANLEY AND
MAI. M. F. HURD.
Former Was Connected With British
Nobility-Suicide Theory is
Discredited.
BOTH WERE PENNILESS

DENVER Col, March 5.-Mrs. Georgia
Stanley, who was yesterday found In an un-
conscious condition in the house In which
lay the dead body of Major Marshall F.
Hurd, proves to be woman of aristOcratic
lineage. She Is granddaughter of Lord
Kercastle Of Inverness, Scotland. Her
mother was Lady Allen and her father gov
ernor of an English province in India. Lady
Allen, by second marriage, became the
mother of Sir James Grant Of Toronto, one
of the most eminent physicians of the do
minion Of Canada, who was knighted by
Queen Victoria. Mrs. Stanley, 1t is said,
was thrice married. Her first husband and
their four children died of the black diph-
liberia in Quebec. Several years later she
married a resident of Washington, D. c.,
who was in the government service. A
year or so later he shot and killed himself
In a hotel at Syracuse, N. Y. She then
married Herbert Stanley, who was a gov
ernment clerk.
Relatives Disapproved Marriage.
Her relatives dsapproved %, the union,
and the Stanleys came to Denver to live.
About a year ago Mr.. Stanley died of pa
ralysis and left his widow practically penni-
less and helpless on account of ill-health.
Major Hurd who at that time was an in
mate Of the Old Soldiers Home at Monte
Vista, Col, came to Denver and undertook
to care for Mrs. Stanley, whose late hus-
band was his friend The small pension he
received from the government was not suf-
hcent to provide the needs Of the couple,
and assistance was rendered by charitable
persons. 1t was on the occasion of one of
these visits yesterday that the tragedy was
discovered. The physicians attending Mrs.
Stanley believe that her condition and
Major Hurds death was due to breathing
the fumes of coal gas, which escaped into
the room through accident, and the suicide
theory Is discredited. Mrs. Stanley, they
believe, has chance for recovering con-
sciouSneSs, at least

Open When Body Was Found.

They were informed positively that moth
ing had been disturbed that the drawer
was open when the body was found. In
the drawer were some letters, a few papers
and odds and ends. The letters and papers
were disarranged, and on the floor Of the
den were several papers, indicating that
they had been dragged out Of the open
drawer ard left where they fell. Now the
police say that certain letters were taken
from this drawer. They are confident that
they are on the right track. What is
more, they claim to have in their posses
sion at the present time a last and strong
card which they have not yet played.
