FRENZIED WOMAN SLEW BURDICK
House the Suspect Closely Watched by Buffalo Police Who Are
Slowly But Surely UnraveIng the Mystery
Surrounding the Case

n UFFALO, n. Y, March 5.-There
II was no development throughout
the night I'm the Burdick murder
case. The officials claim to be abso-
lutely certain that the murder was
committed by a woman, that they
know the woman and that they can
make an arrest the moment their
chain of evidence is sufficient TO secure
a conviction.
A house i'm the ElmwOOd district is
being watched day and night. The po-
lice decline to say why they are watcn-
ing the house. Last night for the first
time the detectives were withdrawn
from the New York and other stations.
This move is regarded as strong evil
dence that the police believe they know
where the murderer il and that there
is no danger of escape.
An Important Clue.
An important fact made public to-
day is that on the morning when the
body of Burdick was discovered the
top drawer i'm a table az the head Of
the couch where the body lay was
open. Associated with facts and cir
cumstances uncovered since then the
open drawer looms up, the police say,
as a most important clue.
The theory Of the police is that the
suspected woman. finding that Bur
dicks affection for her had begun to
cool and that there was talk of his
marrying another woman after secur-
ing his divorce, made an appointment
with Burdick at his home. On her ar
rival he conducted her into his coy
corner. where intrusion was least 10
be feared. The lunch on the table was
for her. They visited. no one knows
how long His indifference towards
her was not concealed and awaiting
her opportunity she struck him down
and in her frenzy and passion beat
out his brains. Then she left.
Before leaving she searched the table
for the letters which she had written
to him. Finding them. she turned out
the gas and stole away.
Motive For the Crime.
The district attorney has frequently
spoken Of evidence in his possession that
would suggest "A motive for the crime
other than the fear Of disclosures that
were likely to be made in divorce pro-
ceedlngs. What the evidence is the au-
thorities viii not say. lt is said on good
authority, however, that the evidence re-
lates 10 woman who was in severe
straits for money. This woman is not "A
member of the Burdick household but

police believe the straitened condition is
established and they are giving it the
greatest importance in their inquiry into
the motive for the murder
The WOmans circumstances and the
fact that 1t had been rumored that Bur

ton 20 another woman, the police say,
would tend 70 make the woman both des-

Colorado Judge Orders Prisoners
Turned over to Civil Authorities.
Cripple Creek, Colo, Sept. 25.-ln
the District Court here Judge Seeds
oyerruled the motion TO quash Ia the
case Of the four military prisoners Tor
whom writs OF habeas corpus were
issued recently and ordered the pris-
oners turned over to the civil authori-
ties. Judge Seeds said that he could
not subscribe 10 the doctrine advanced
by the respondent, that the military
was supreme and not amenaDIe to the
court. because to do so would mean %
overthrow free government and sub
stitute a monarchy.
The court said that the question IN
yolyed was. Does the executive order
calling troops constitute justification
OF the arrest? He held that civil law
had not been oyerthrown in Teller
county and no evidence had been pre-
sonted that law breakers would not
be prosecuted and punished by the civil
authorities.
Judge Seeds also strongly rebuked
the presence OF the troops in the court
room. General Chase declined 10 obey
the order OF the court but II Is under
stood here that Governor Peabody VIII

DISSATISFACTION WITH PRI-
MARY AT MOND.
Much Opposition To Slate,

There has been much talk in Richmond
OF an independent ticket being put in the
field for the general assembly, in opposi-
ton TO the nominations made in the
Democratic primary. This is based on
the small vote cast-less than hall the
strength of the new registration-and
the feeling aroused by the springing of a
slate, in behalf of which still hunt
had been effectively executed The friends
Of the Mann bill were surprised at the
defeat OF Capt. h. Il. Christian, but men
Of experience in politics realized that he
would likely be beaten, as the potential
influence OF the liquor dealers was being
actively exercised against him, while the
prople generally were not aroused.
There were no public meetings during
the campaign, and less interest was
taken than was ever kown in a legis-
lative fight. The vote was only about
half OF that castin the Congressional pri-
mary last year. The Republicans arr
very much elated at the small vote cast
and feel encouraged that their course in
waiting and their appeal to the voters
not to participate are endorsed.
The working men did not vote in large
numbers, but there is little significance
to be attached to this. 1t is pretty well
settled that the Labor League now form.
