Witness, Close Friend of Murdered

Assassin Committed the Crime.

Mrs. Paine On the Stand.
Buffalo, N. Y, March 18.-The name
of Arthur R. Pennell, who was named
as correspondent in the Burdick di-
vorce proceedings, and who met ter
rible death in Goher's stone quarry
two weeks after Edwin L. Burdick was
murdered, constantly came TO the sur
tyface in the inquest before Judge Muir
ply yesterday. Charles S. Parle, Bur
dicks former business partner and
close friend, while on the witness stand
yesterday afternoon told of conversa-
tions he had with Burdick relative to
the trouble with Pennen. On one oc-
casion Burdick told Parke that Pen
nell had threatened suicide if the suit
was not stopped. Pennell threatened
to kill both himself and Mrs Burdick.
He occasionally visited Mr. Parke
said, at Burdicks home. About year
ago he saw Arthur Pennell at Bur
dicks office. At one time Pennell was
Burdick's lawyer. Burdick told Mr.
Parke about the trouble with his wife
about Christmas time. Mr. Burdick
told him he did not blame Mrs. Bur-
dick so much as he did Pennell. He
said he had shown him every consid-
GRAFTON, and that Pennell had prom
ised to get out CT town, but had not
done so. He said he had lost patience
anu the divorce suit was to go on.
"Then the man who made all the
trouble was Pennell?"
"Yes."
did Burdick say he was afraid Of
Pennell?"
''He said he had been warned to look
out for Pennell, but he believed Pen
nell was a physical coward, and he
had no fear of him."
He said no one had suggested
motive nor said anything that led him
to believe they knew who committed
the murder.
Did you form any opinion as to who
committed this murder?" asked Dis
trict Attorney Coatsworth.
''Yes, sir"
. "When?"
Fright after leaving the house that
day"
rs it an opinion based on informa-
tion or on supposition?"
upon both.
care you sufficiently satisfied that
syour opinion is correct to state whom
you think the murderer was?"
81 think So"
'Well, who was he?"
"Arthur R. Pennell or some hired
assassin"
what makes you think Pennell
! killed him?"
"All the circumstances lead me to
that conclusion. l am satisfied that
the murder grew out of the divorce
proceedings"
DO you know whether Pennell was
in Burdick's house that night?"
81 do not"
'Do you know whether he had key
to Burdick's house?"
"No."
Did you ever publicly accuse Pen
nell until after he died?"
81 do not know when l first ex-
pressed that opinion"
Mrs. Gertrude B. Paine, the wife of
DR.. Seth T. Paine, an intimate friend
of the Pencils and the Burdicks was
closely questioned regarding the rela-
tions between the two families, and es-
pecially of the feeling displayed by the
men toward each other Mrs. Paine's
house was searched on the Sunday fol-
lowing the murder. She said she was
friendly with both families, and that
her relations with them were of a So
cial nature.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble. because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney

troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
