MYSTERY STILL DARK.
Penncll Inquest Throws No Light on
the Murder of Burdick.

The mystery surrounding the Eurdick
murder and the uncertainty as to wheth-
er the deaths of Arthur X. Pennell and
his wife were the result of accident or
design were not lifted by the evidence at
the Pennell inquest in Buffalo. Thomas
Penney. attorney for the Pennell FAMILY,
declared that so far as he was aware
nothing in Pennelrs papers would throw
any light on the murder of Burdick. He
declined to answer questions regarding
the alleged defalcation of Pennell. J.
Frederick Pennell. brother of the dead
lawyer and administrator of his estate,
who has possession of most of the papers.
he said, was out of the city, and he did
not know where he was or when he
would return TO Buffalo.
Evidence that would show defalca-
ton would simply be accumulative, said
Justice Murphy, after the evidence WAS
all in. No stronger motive could be
proved than has already been brought
out here. But proving motive does not
establish suicide. The court is prepared
to announce its findings"
Judge Murphy then delivered his YER
dict as follows:
came to his death on the 10th day of
March, 1908, rs result of injuries received
while riding In an automobile. the said
automobile plunging from an embankment
into the Genres stone quarry.
That / cannot determine from the evil
dence submitted whether such plunge was
accidental or designed.
That Carrie Lamb Pennell came to her
death as a result of the said plunge of the
automobile into the quarry.
Wallace Thayer. who had been Pen
neil's attorney before his death, made a
statement Oh the stand, saying:
I'm none of A:r. Pennelrs communica
lions to me and in none of his papers
was there anything bearing on the Bur
lick murder or the death of Mr.. Pennell.
Pennell left with me sealed envelope
2f instructions and two insurance policies
for SO, 900, which was to hold i'll trust.
[ was instructed not to open the sealed
package until the insurance money WAS
paid over to me, and then / was not TO
make public the name of the person or
persons for whom 1 held the insurance
in trust or make known their names to
anybody aside from the beneficiary or
beneiiciaries."

great damage was done. a large num-
ber of men, women and children were in

the mountain side. His wife was badly
injured and is not expected to live.
Houses were picked up and carried sew
eral hundred feet.
At Pangburn six residences were
blown down and a flock of sheep and a
number Of cattle, hogs and horses were
