|PENNELL A DEFAuLTER
Buffalo Suspect, 1t is Said, Was
Short Over 5000, 900.
SUICIDE PLANNED 2 YEARS AGO

II is Alleged He Carried Over $780,
600 Life Insurance in Order That
Victims Might Reeoup Their Losses.
$25,co0 For Mrs. Burdick.
Buffalo, n. Y, April lit is alleged
that Arthur Z. Pennell, who was killed
in an automobile accident on March 10,
was a defaulter to the extent of from
$3.50, 900 TO 100000. The story leaked
out as the result of legal dispute over
two life insurance policies, and is to
the effect that Pennell induced friends
in the east who had known his family
and the family of his wife to place
money in his hands for investment. He
would inform them of some good in
vestment which he had come across
which would pay an excellent rate Of
interest, and they would send him
money. The money which was sent to
him for Investment, 1t is alleged, he
spent, and when interest payments fell
due he made the payments out of his
own pocket.
Incidentally ii has been learned that
Pennell made provision for the pay
ment to Mrs. Edwin l.. Burdick Of
S25. 900 out of his life insurance.
Pennell carried over 100000 life in
surance in order that after his death the
eastern estates to which he is alleged
To have been defaulter might be able
to recoup the losses which they had
sustained through him. In his will
Pennell named as administrator Of his
He left to his administrator sealed in
structions that upon his death he
should make good in full out Of his cs-
! tate all the losses which had been
sustained through his defalCations.
| II is said that Pennell had contem-
! plated suicide for two years, and the
/ fact is known that he planned two
/ years ago to throw himself in front OF
a train at Peekskill, and to make il
appear that his death was an accident.
1t appears there were two life poll
cics which had not been handed over
to the administrator. One was for Sl5,-
Gee and the other for $4,000 Those
two policies had Deon assigned by Pen
nell to Attorney Wallace ThayCr. in
trust. The insurance companies TOOK
