TESTIMONY TENDS TO
SHOW PENCILS GUILT

Mrs. Hull's testimony: He said:
Her actions on the morning of the
murder and her testimony as to my
mind inconsistent with the perfect
want of knowledge as to what actual
ly occurred. So little apparent feel
ing for the dead man and such an
evident desire to cover up the crime,
with no disposition whatever to aid
the authorities in experimenting the
murderer may be eXplainable, but
they certainly have not been ex-
planned"
In closing, Judge Murphy said: ut
is our duty to censure Mrs. Burdick,
but great as her wrong has been so
is her punishment great.

BUFFALO, n. Y, March 31.--Judge
Murphy this morning rendered a YER
dict in the Edward l.. Burdick in
quest which eXhaustively reviews the
evidence. He closed by saying that
were Arthur Pennell alive the evil
dence brought out at the inquest
would Justify the issuance of war
rant for his arrest on a charge of
murder.
He said the law presumcs a man
innocent until he is proven guilty,
therefore he could not render a YER

CHANCE HELPED A DETECTIVE.
Breaking of a Theater Seat Brought
sIeuth a Long Sought Criminal.

THE breaking down of seat in
theater," remarked a secret service
man, who used to be attached to the
Chicago detective force, "once enabled
me to get hold of chap for whom I
had been searching for several months.
He was thief on a somewhat heavy
scale, and he's still doing his bit in
Joliet. He was the confidential man
of big Chicago Board of Trade OPP
orator, and he made his jump with
about 100000 of his employers cur
rency. The employer, for some reason
or other didn't report the defalcation
for nearly ten days, and this delay gave
the embezzler a pretty good start.
There wasn't much of a tangible Sort
to go by in setting out after him, so
that l didn't enthuse over the assign
ment particularly. Like the rest of
the f1ys, l like to have at least a decent
chance of getting them when I set out.
After few days of nosing around, l
got hold of enough to lead me to be-
lieve that the defaulter had taken to
the West for his. After l had been on
the hunt for nearly three months 1 be-
came certain that the absconder had
covered up his tracks. l was about to
double back from San Francisco to
Chicago, when 1 got wire from the
chief directing me to run up to Port
land, Or, to look up another Chicago
thief who was supposed to be in that
town. I got this No. 2 fellow within
twenty-four hours after my arrival in
Portland, and as he consented to re-
turn without requisition papers,
bought the tickets and arranged to
start for Chicago with him on the fol-
lowing day.
THAT night 1 went to one of the
Portland theaters. The house was
damned, and SO I stood up and leaned
on the rail at the back. I had seen the
show In the East, and so it didn't
anuse me particularly, and near the
close of the second act 1 decided to go
back to my hotel and put in big
nights sleep in preparation for the
overland journey to begin on the fol-
lowing day. 1 was just turning to go
out when there was crash down in
front, followed by a giggle from the
women sitting in the orchestra seats.
II turned back to rubber over the
rail, and saw that the seat under a
young fellow with the Van Dyke beard
had let down with him. He didn't take
it goodnaturedly, but came up the
