SAYS pENNELL DID THE CRIME
Or Some Hired Assassin Opinion of Bur-
dicks Business Partner.

Charles S. Parke, Burdick's business
partner, who had been associated in
business with him for fourteen years
and had known him for eighteen years,
made some important statements on
the stand. He occasionally visited, he
said. at Burdfck's home. About Il
year ago he saw Arthur L. Pennell
at Burdick's Office. AT one time Pen
nell was Burdick's lawyer. Burdick
told Parke about the trouble with ms
wife about Christmas time. Burdick
told him he Gid not blame Mrs. Bur
dick so much as he did PennelI. He
said he had shown him every consid-
Grafton, and that Pennell had prom
ised to get out of town. but had not
done so. He said he had lost patience
and the divorce suit was to go on.
The man who had made all the trou-
BILE was Pennell.
did Burdick say he was afraid of
Pennell?"
HE said he had been warned to
look out for Pennell, but he believed
Pennell was physical coward and
he had no fear of him. He said he
carried a revolver when he went out
of town just as q matter of precau-
ton" Burdick had conference with
Pennell in a lawyers Office about the
proceedings. HE said Pennell had
threatened to commit suicide if the
suit was not stopped. He threatened
to kill both Himself and Mrs. Burdick
if the divorce proceedings were con-
tinued Burdick told me he thought
the threat was a bluff
Did Burdick tell you that Mrs. Pen
aell had tried to have him withdraw
the suit?'' HE said both Mr. and
Mrs. Pennell had pleaded with him
to drop it,
What was Mr.. Burdick's mental
condition about that time?" asked DIS
trict Attorney CoatswOrth. ''Well, it
appeared to ne that for some time he
had been breaking down. He had been
unable to concentrate his mind, and
1 had noticed a painful look on his
face
''Did you form any opinion as to
who committed this murder?" asked
District Attorney Coatsworth. Yes,
sir, Right after leaving the
house that day. Iday of the murder1.
He said it was based on both supposi-

''Over the telephone. On the day OF

What did you say to him?' Il
told him l had not seen Mrs. Pennell
and did not know whether she was
going TO attend the Elmwood dance or
not. He said that if the Pencils were
not going to be there he might go.
He wanted to know if L We're going.

me up and asked me If l could find out
