BrtrNo. March III know of all
tho .oafdals in the Rurdick circle
said District Attorney CoatswSrth to-day.
4 am satisfied hat all the ccmpi-
o,.ions and possible entanglements are
Known to Us. and l believed yesterday
that the murder was committed by some
one Who Was Interested in preventing the
exposures hat would have been made in
The trials Of tho suits Of Burdck against his
wife ard oi Mrs Buriick against her husband
or else il VA, committed by person related
10 or attached to the person who would
have been exposed
Athough the authorities have KEEP
diminishing the circle Of su-pe cts. they
.e,mri lardly nearer the criminal tonight
than they were on the day Of the murder.
Mr. Buydick has established her innocence.
:, ! Suspicion No longer attaches 10 Arth n
X. Pern-l or the Narrens. Another core
,ponden, besides Mrs. Warren was named
in tic oiyorce suit brought by Mrs. Bur-
dick. She Is known in the papers rs Jane
Doe. and sine was questioned as late rs last
right and seems to have established an
ajbi satisfactory TO the police. This COM
tletos the round Of correspondents and 1t Ia
evident that the police must look beyond
tncfn
Hr Ccatsworth's talk would indicate
mat hey do not expec, to look very far.
although there may be persons Interested

sppcarG in the lcga, paper, yet who have
been INJURED or enrayed by the two divorce
s,riops
From the clues the police have elimi-
mated M acquaintance Of the We
Tin With Mr. and Mn. j, Il. Warren OF
Cleveland, and they practically have laid
aside tho story Of the cabman Delahunt,
who drove a stranger TO All adjacent cor
nsr on Thursday night. They APPEAR
more sanguine Of two other clues, the de-
tails n which leaked out early this morl :
ing One Of these is the discovery Of stains
on a golf stick which hung OH the wall OF
the smoking room in which Burdick was
beaten to death. Burdick owned putter
ard two brasseys, and il Is the putter which
the police hope 70 show was the weapon
used. Tonight they will not admit or
deny that the stains are blood A. THB
Sun said to-day, the wounds could have
beea made with a putter. for their every
appearance indicates the Use OF blunt
weapon OF steel.
The second clue Ia the story told late last
night by the patrolman who had the heat
on Ashland avenue on the night OF the muir
ucr.,z He uEas etapdinI ae the norths east
prnsr Of bryant street and Ashland avenue
It tan minutes past I 0 clock on Friday
only half a block from the big
Colonial house In which Burdick al TINT
moment undoubtedly lay dead. He saw
a woman walking along the east side Of
Ashland avenue toward Bryant street.
Her way lod her from or part the Burdick
home. As she neared the corner where
she could 80 the policeman standing she
turned out from the sidewalk into the mid
die Of Ashland avenue and continued TO
walk up the avenue in the middle of the
street She vas still walking in the street
and had reached Hodge avenue when lie
