SOME BURDICK CLUES

quest see page So
Buffalo, March 17.-The authorities
have learned that Mrs. Edwin L. Burdick
had assigned portion of the insurance
held by her children. In the first place,
it is said, half Of the estimated $4,000
was made payable to the Children. Less
than .one-half originally written in Mrs.
Burdick's favor, probably $10,000 was in
small policies, and it is said a portion Of
this was assigned by Mrs. Burdick to her
husband. The assigned policies thereupon
became a part Of his estate. All she will
receive from his estate is her dover in
one-third of his realty and the small
amount made payable to her that she did
not assign. The authorities will not say
whether the assignment was made before
or after the divorce proceedings were be-
gun. --&
The inquest in the Burdick murder case
was continued this afternoon. ss-
In his, examination of Margaret Murray
and Mrs Hull last Saturday, the district
attorney laid stress upon his questions
relative to persons in the Burdick cellar
on the morning Of the murder. Miss
Murray testified that she knew Of no one
in the cellar except Miss Koenig. another
Of the servants, and Alfred Brockman, an
elderly man who at times had cared for
the furnace in the Burdick home. Mrs
Hull made no mention of having been in
the cellar. Brooknan had been called in
by Miss Koenig to attend to the furnace.
Brookman is said to have made state
ment to the police that he heard voices
Of a man and woman in the cellar and thai
he recognized the voice of the woman
but not that of the man. The couple
talked In low tones, Brookman is quoted
as saying, and when he took up a shovel
the man said. Whats that?" in q, quick
tone as though he were startled. The
| woman replied: .s
"Oh, that is only the man who take.
care of the furnace. They talked for
moment more and then went upstairs
Brookman said he had been told that Mr.
Burdtck was sick and he supposed the
man was a doctor.
After a conference with Assistant su
perintendent OF Police Cusack, Distric
Attorney Coatsworth announced tha
Mrs. Seth T. Paine would be the first wit

STATE INSTITUTIONS ENOUGH.

favors the maintenance at state ex-
pense Of feeble-minded institute

state insane asylum at Salem. No
humane person win take issue with the
medical society on the desirahility Of
having such a school but the advisa-
bility Of appropriating money at this
time for the establishment and main-
tenance of such an Institution Is this
may be questioned. It is true
there il but little opportunity for the
development Of the fesble-minded at
the state insane asylum where they are
cared FOR in the same building with
imbeciles, idiots, maniacs. seniles and

ate in way Then the state has large
farms at Salem and teams ana tools
for its wards TO work with.

with proper management be reason
ably well cared for and their work
made to contribute toward their sup
sort Aside from the fact that the
feeble. minded may receive fairly good
care without further appropriation.
objections win arise on the grounds of
the precedent for the building Of more
state innstitutions. the separate build
Ing for feeble minded, would afford.
There is rank injustice In the state
maintaining a costly reform school for
boys. while no provision Is made for
girls. If q reformatory is necessary for
boys provision should also be made
for girls. and when the state takes the
matter up. IL money Is no object there
should be two schools or departments

could be kept separate from the rest

Snnse good could be accomplished BY
similar classification Of the conyicts

it from the standpoint Of the benefici-
aries, there is multiplicity of insti-
t,itiops that should be established, but
there are as many roads leading to
state paternalism. For its age, popu-
