of the vindictiveness and desire to injure
me as much as possible, he made me a
defendant in the action. His allegations
were promptly denied and the issues
would have been squarely met when his
death occurred at the: hands of some un-
known woman whom he had invited to
his house at midnight. Nothing more un-
fortunate could have occurred for every
body involved, as the entire matter neces-
sarily became public, and if the truth
could have appeared, the harm would not
have been SO great; but truth and yellow
journalism are at opposite poles, and con-
sequently a mass of lies, fiction and i'm
agination was published, which had no
possible basis in fact; but for the sake
of those most concerned, some Of these
misrepresentation must be taken up and
met. s

and unjustly Indicated. s5sss
''Secondly-In reference to the alleged
statements Of a New York, detective
agency, whose main business seems to
have been to give their clients secrets to
the public, desire to say that, without
knowing what ARRANGEMENTS were made
with them by any person, any statements
on the part Of such agency tending to
reflect in any way upon either myself or
any other person involved are unquali-
fedly false, and have no basis in fact.
They are made up Of those unfounded
statements of this class of spies which
have become of such doubtful value that
even in the courts it is now almost held
that the presumption is against their
|credibility.
'Thirdly-During the pending Of the di-
vorce action it became necessary for me
to consult with the defendant in refer
ence to the course to- pursue. For that
purpose it was necessary that a meeting
should take place here, in New York or at
Atlantic City, but in such cases.. as can
be absolutely proven, these meetings were
in such places and under such circum-
stances as to absolutely negative any
other idea than the purpose of transact
ing the affairs relative to the divorce ac-
tiOn.

Alexis Fournier has upon his easel a
painting in heroic size destined for the
Hubbard art gallery at East Aurora, N. 7.
1t is a brilliant piece Of coloring, warranted
to render cheerful everything and person
coming in contact with it. 1t is one of the
most characteristic Venetian pictures that
one could well conceive. In it the huge
i mass of the saluta, with it's graceful
grouping Of towers and turrets rises from
the ripping blue waters Of the canal in
i which the lazy movement has been finely
treated. In the foreground are the steps
Of the doge's gardens and palace from
which the view is taken. A balustraded
corner Of the garden beside the steps
shows an effective mass Of foliage that
combines delightfully."- with the color eff
/ fects of the joyous atmosphere, the blue
sky with it's floating clouds, with the
| broken reflections in the water and the
lights and shows Of the mass of buildings.
| The work is as fine in composition as In
color and atmosphere and Mr.. Hubbard Is
/ to be warmly congratulated on having this
stunning corner Of the finest Of Venice al
ways within reach.
The remains of the collection of paint
ings sent away for exhibition last fall at
Chicago and Detroit, are now on exhi-
bition in Mr. Fournier's Hennepin avenue
studio, as there are a number Of Minne-
apolis people considering the purchase of
some Of them, and they wanted an oppor-
tunfty Of seeing them again. Mr.. Four
nfer now has in the city most Of the pic
| lures that remain his property. No more
favorable opportunity Of seeing them is
probable in the future, for in June Mr..
Fournier is going to New York for the
summer, and take his pictures with him.
He is going with the expectation Of select
ing permanent residence either In New
York or within easy reach Of the city.
| He has put in a busy winter and has
nearly completed several important new
canvases, among them a bold and virile
storm scene and country landscape by
1 night. This is cold and dark, the only
/ light being diffused moonlight from the
orb Of night struggling with thick, watery
masses Of broken clouds.

The Statement Prepared by Pennel]
-. Shows That He Was
49, Liar. /.

Buffalo April 1.-THE inquest into the
deaths Of Arthur Reed Pennell and his
wife, Carrie Lamb Pennell, was finished In
a, little more than two hours, and Justice
Murphy announced his findings without
leaving the bench. He reported that he
could not determine from the evidence
whether the plunge into the quarry a
month ago was accidental or designed.
Possibly the companies in which Penneil
was so heavily insured will try to settle
that question before a jury.
The inquest was not without result. for
1T produced the first draft OF the state
ment on which Pennell labored with so
much care after suspicion of the murder
of Edwin L. Burdick was cast upon him.
This defensive screed was read from a
copy made by Pencils stenographer.
Much Of it shows Pennell to be liar,
dick inquest. for he makes claims which
$even Mrs Burdick, whom he loved, did
not support. 80
The statement reflects on Burdick's
character and declares that he was killed
by q woman whom he had invited to his
house. Pennell, in writing 1t, evidently
believed that the second day theory OF
the police would stand forever, whereas
there hasaneve been any proof that Bur
dick had a woman visitor at night.
Pennell insists that his relations will
Mrs. Burdick were platonic and that hi
acted as her legal advisor. His statement
that they never met In the Ellicott square
office has been denied by Mrs. Burdick
The completed draft Of this last state
ment was taken from SPennell's office By
his brother, =. Fred Pennell, the admin
sistrator OF the estate, and could not b.
fput in evidence because the brother wa:
mot at the inquest. There was no materia
sdffference in the draft, the stenographe
IL said, and Attorney Thomas Penney, VIII,

yer for the estate, did not deny this. VI
