The crowd gave way before the lev

doctors Office A locked door barred
his further progress for an instant. but
u blow from his fist shattered the panel
and thrusting the gun through the
opening, Terrell aimed it at the pros

Wolf who had tainted under the doc

load struck him in the heart the other
shattered his head.
Terrell calmly loaded his gun and,
turning to the crowd, said:
He will ruin no more homes and
break no more hearts"
His way was not barred and, leaping
into his buggy, Terrell, as the bystand-
ers made motion as though to follow
him, ordered them to remain where
they were and drove away.
He notified the sheriff at once and
prepared to give himself up The
sheriff arrested him half an hour later

"oh may /? Do you really want me;
she cried.
"Sure!" said the laconic Morris.
The girl did not wait for his assist

"Oh isn't she beauty?" she cried
as they got under way, passing her
hand caressingly along the side of the
boat.

PENNELL A DEFAULIER
He swindled Estates Of Friends Out
of Large Sums-0ne Cause
ii for His Suicide. IT,.

Buffalo, April 7.-Arthur r. Pennell
who was suspected Of the murder Of Ed
win L. Burdick and who was killed in an
automobile accident March 10, was a de-
faulter to the extent of $150,000 or $780,
900. =. - .,- -:
He swindled estates of friends in the
east out Of large sums of money. He
carried over 100000 life insurance in or
der that after his death these estates
might be able to recoup the losses which
they had sustained through him. Incl
dentally it has been learned that Pennell
made provision for the payment to Mrs.
Edwin l. Burdick Of $25, 900 out of his
life Insurance. g.. =, sd, -. s.&
The means by which Pencil derived an
income that was sufficient to enable him
to spend in the neighborhood of $4,000 a
year had been mystery in this city for
a long time. e. s.<..
Pencil. of course. knew that the crash
would come some day. He could not go
en- forever stealing the money intrusted
to him by his friends and escape expos
ure. So he planned to commit suicide,
and provide for the reimbursement Of his
Victlmized friends. He took out over
100000 life insurance in various life and
accident insurance companies and made
the policies payable to his estate.
In his will Pencil named as admins
traitor of his estate, his brother, r. Fred
erick Pencil. He left to his admins
traitor sealed instructions that upon his
death he should make good In full out of
his estate all the losses which had been
sustained through his defalcations.
It Is now stated that interesting devel-
opments may be looked for at the Pencil
inquest. It is known that Pencil left a
last statement in defense Of himself In
1t he dealt at length with the Burdick
case, with Burdick and with his relations
with Mrs. Burdick IL a
Pencil said in this statement that Bur-
dick was killed at midnight; that an UNI
known woman killed him; he protested
his own innocence and said he had moth
ing to do with the crime. He told Of his
1 strained relations with MIR. Burdick, but
insisted that his relations with Mrs. Bur-
dick were purely platonfc.

SCHOOL HOUSES NEEDED.
Cannot he Built. However, with Press
ent High Price of Labor.

Since 1892 this city has been almost
constantly engaged in school house con-
Struction. While at first it was unneces-
sary to erect so large a building as the
Converse school building. yet it has been
impossible to keep up with the demands
for additional school room. The city at
the present time is sorely in need of at
least two new buildings for school pur-
poses; one to replace the crowded quar-
tors of the Archibald street school and
one for Park avenue and Lakeside where
rented buildings are depended upon en-
tirely.
During the past ten years seven build
ings have been erected for school pur-
poses. They are as follows with their
value as appraised by the city assessors
Converse school, value $4,000, built in
1888: Ira Allen school,, value s2l,500, built
in 1894; S. w Thayer school, value $500
built in 1891; Lawrence Barnes school,
value S2i 900. built in 1896; Pomeroy school,
value $4,000, rebuilt in 1895; Edmunds
high school, value $4,000, built in 1900;
Adams school, value $4,000, built in 1902,
giving total expenditure of $4,000 in the
past ten years. While this seems large
sum, not one of the buildings could now
he duplicated for anything like the orig
inal cost.
The two buildings needed now at Archi-
bald street and Lakeside would cost from
5000 to $4,000 and it was hoped that at
least one could be built this summer but
with the present prevailing high prices
tor labor and material nothing will he
done.
