Washington, March 4.-The Senate
was called to order at 10 o'clock today

fore the work OF the day should be

Who Murdered Edwin [. Bur-
dick at Buffalo, N. Y.
Police Says She Has Social P'omi'
nence and Has Many Friends.
Think They Now Have Evidence
Enough to Justify Arrest.

Ruffalo. n. Y, March 4.-District At
torpev Coatesworths Office in City hall
was again the place around which in
terest in the Burdick murder mystery
centered, today. Detectives came in,
held Whispered conversations with the
district attorney or one of his deputies,
and hurried away again. Unknown
men and women were admitted at the
private entrance to the office and later
departed in closed carriages.
While Supt. Bull is quoted as saying
the arrest of a woman may occur at
any moment the authorities are work.
ing as hard on the case as they did
the first day after the tragedy was dis
covered.
The superintendent of police, the
chief of detectives and the assistant
district attorney all concur in the be-
lief that only one person, woman,
Edwin L. Burdick.
I'VE think we could make an arrest
now in safety" said Supt. of Police
Bull. but we prefer to wait, as we be-
lieve that certain evidences which we
wish to gather will lead to successful
results"
One reason the police are observing
such extreme caution before making
an arrest is that they realize the i'm
portance of having enough evidence to
convict before a move is made. The
woman who committed the crime is OF
social prominence they believe and
therefore will have friends to back her
when the crucial time comes.
The district attorney, today, an
nounced through the press that any
one desiring to confer with him might
do so by telephone, or if they wished
to see him at his office their desire to
conceal their identity would be re-
spected The result of this announce
ment, it is stated. has been to bring a
flood of new material into the hands
of the authorities.
One of the new facts developed from
this source brings into the case an
other mysterious carriage, anprdinary
coupe. drawn by a team of dark colored
horses. which was halted in Ashland
avenue. north of the block in which is
situated the Burdick house.
I The unusual movements of Che car
rage attracted the attention Of a wo-
man who lived nearby, and she COM
municated with the district attorney
today.
It is an interesting fact that the lone
woman seen by Patrolman Meyers on
the night of the murder was walking
toward the corner where the carriage
is said to have been standing.
Diligen inquiry by the detective force
has failed to reveal any one in the
neighbornood, who had a carriage or
the night of the murder.
Supt. Bull in an inter view admitted
that he suspected a certain woman anC
that her arrest was imminent.
District Attorney Coatsworth, to-
night said: II am satisfied in my mine
that | know the person who murdered
Burdick. l also believe thatfw have
not at present enough evidence to con-
Wet the guilty party. We have one
card yet to play; one move yet to make
and with that move will come the
knowledge of whether we have failed
or Won"
He would not say whether the sus-
pect was man or woman.

believes the doctor is suffering from
a malignant disease in the region of

Doctors condition is such that re-

to recommend long journey.
