In the historic graveyard of Princeton,
N. ]. relates the Washington Star, William
Edwards Amin was laid to rest Friday,
close beside his mothers grave, and within
a short distance Of the tomb of his dis
tinguished grandfather, Jonathan Edwards,
the first president of Princeton college.
Memorial services were held In the leo
ture room OF the Presbyterian church,
where the CONN lay covered with an ex-
quisite pail Of flowers, the gift Of the
Princeton class Of 1877, of which he was a
member.
One Of his classmates and closest friends
conducted the services, the college quartet
at intervals singing with exquisite effect
the familiar hymns appropriate to such
occasions. Aside from the collegtans, TO
whom BILLY" Amin was only a remt-
niscence Of past college days, there we're
none present but his family and some OF
his most intimate friends from Nebraska.

been brought on from Phoenix, Arizona,
where he died of hereditary consumption
February 90. At the time Of his death he
was special agent in charge Of the western
division OF rural free delivery with head
quarters At Denver, Colo. One Of his spe-
eial agents, H. A. Clarke Of Wyoming, In

from Denver to their final resting place.

than the eulogium which his former class
mate delivered. He spoke Of Amin as

inquiry" ~rejoined the Judge.
Mr.. Penny then attempted 20 cross-ex-
anime the witness, whereupon Judge MUIR
ply again interposed, and after a heated
argument. during which the attorney de-
clared the proceedings had been irregular
all through. threatened to eject him.
A few p!nutes later the lawyer himself
took the stand. but shielding himself behind
his privileges as an attorney, refused to
disclose the dead mans private affairs.

whether he owed any considerable amount
OF money at the time of his death?"

Pennell was a defaulter? ?"
II decline to answer. / am willing to
state, however. that Pencils papers refer
in no way to the Burdick case. There is
no reference In any Of them to Mrs. Bur-
dick or to detectives"
Wallace Thayer, another OF Pennell's law
yers. also took the stand, saying:
1 will state tina in none Of Mr.. Pencils
communications to me and in none OF his
papers was there anything bearing on the
buruick murder.
He left with me a sealed envelope of in
structions and two insurance policies for

clerk, produced a copy Of a statement de-
ceased had prepared with reference to the
Burdick murder. Mr.. Coatsworth read 1t.
Il was prepared on the Saturday following
the murder and was addressed to the pub
lie. In IL Pennell said he had satisfied the
district attorney and the police that he
had nothing to do with the murder.
With reference to his connection with

PENCIL ACCUSES BURDICK

DIVORCE CASE SHIELD TO OWN CRIME
Lawyers Defense IL Reed at Inquest,
which Costs Odium on
of Woman He Loved
Too Well.

BUFFALO. April 1O.-Enlivened by num-
erous tits between lawyer and Judge, but
barren OF result. the long-expeeted Pencil
noon. The one item Of interest which was
allowed to come out was the dead mans
statement with respect to the Burdick muir
der, but even 1t was discounted by previous
forecasts and the fact that the copy read
was but a rough draft afterwards revised.
When Judge Murphy opened court Thomas
Penny represented the dead mans family
and District Attorney Coatsworth appeared
for the state. The latter attempted to
bring out stories relating TO the alleged
defaleations, but in this he was unsuceess-
full, because the only witnesses who we're
free to talk were not present and Mr..
Penny shielded himself behind his privi-
leges as a lawyer.
In his statement Pennell denied any i'm
proper relations with Mrs. Burdick and
tried to surround her husbands memory
with odium.
Finally, when all the witnesses had been
examined and the last sQuabble between
Judge Murphy and Mr.. Penny was con-
cluded, his honor gave his uoneommittal
decision declining to decide between suicide
and accident.

this statement I wish to say as little as
possible upon the matter. But II must be
remembered that these who are living have
their lives to 1--we and the rights of the liv-
ing are greater than the rights of the dead.
There was no truth in the char les
brought by the plaintiff in that proceeding
against the defendant and myself. The
charges were absolutely denied under oath
and counter charges had been D~ade and In
a short time the case would have been
quietly tried before a referee and settled.
The relations existing between the plain
tif and the defendant had been stra ned for
some time. Twice he had ~unjustly at
tempted TO make her leave her home. My
wife and myself had taken her side In the
controversy that arose between them and
she had consulted me for legal advice and
protection.
During this time the man himself was in
intimate relations with a woman whom he
desired to marry. For that purpose II was
covered the fact that his wife knew of
these relations by gaining access to the
safe deposit vault in which she kept her
papers, through forging a written. order
over her blank signature and purloining the
keys from her.
Being thus appraised of the evidence
against him he termine to anticipate
her action by bringing an action himself,
in order that he might have the appear
ance OF being the injured party, and out of
the vindictIveness and desire to inture me
as much as possible he made me a detend~
ant in the action.
His allegations were properly denied and
the issues would have been squarely met
when his death occurred at the hands OF
some unidentified woman whom he had in
Vited TO his house at midnight.
