waited at table, had never heard Mr..
Burdick speak to his children, to Mrs.
Hull or to his wife in anything but a
pleasant, agreeable manner. Never

forever, at his command, Katie, wait

the same gentle, cheerful chat that
she had always listened to there.
Mrs Burdick had informed her and
Miss Murray that she was going
away for a rest. Katie had never
heard syllable about divorces until
after the murder. Mr.. and Mrs. Bur

Maggie Murray. the cook at the
Burdick house, detained her move
ments, as previously published, a.
to seeing Burdick in his underclothe s,
and afterward hearing some one
working at the furnace. She heard
no further noise In the house that
night.
She contradicted Mrs. Hull's story
of what occurred on the morning OF
the murder. She said she went to
Mrs. Hull's bedroom and told her
about the door and the windows be-
ing open. She said that she did not
call to Mrs. Hull from the first floor.
She also contradicted Mrs. Hull, who
had testified that she did not look
over the ballustrade. She said she,
and not Mrs. Hull, suggested that DR..
Marcy be called. She knew of no one
who held any animosity toward Bur.
dick.
Later developments threw add
tional light on the theory that Arthur
r. Pennell was the murderer and that
he slew his victim with the knowl-
edge and connivance of some one in
side Burdlcks house the night Of the
crime. The questions OF the prosecu-
tors for the state were so shaped as
to intimate that Mrs. Hull, mother of
Burdick's wife, was the accomplice
of Pencil or of the hired assassin
sent to murder Burdick.
Mrs. Gertrude 8. Paine, wife of
DR.. Seth T. Paine, was one of the wit.
nesses of the day. She denied that
her relations with Burdick had been
anything but proper. She told Of the
scandal arising over the relations be-
tween Mrs. Burdick and Pencil and
the Burdick divorce plans.
It was Charles s. Parke. Burdick's
former partner. who furnished the
sensation. He said boldly he believ-
ed Pencil or an assassin hired by
him murdered Burdick, the object
being to prevent the scandal that
must ensue II Burdick's divorce case
went to trial. Parke's belief was

had with Burdick himself. From this
testimony 1t appeared that Pennell
had threatened to kill himself and
Mrs. Burdick II the divorce suit was
not withdrawn. Other evidence show
ed Burdick had been warned to look
out for Pennell who had carried q
revolver. II was plain. the witness
thought. that Pennell was bent on
preventing at any cost the divorce
trial and the consequent airing of his
own misdeeds. The assassination,
therefore. was the logical conse-
quence.

from March Is until March 20. Dis

Pope Leo XIII Americas Friend

St. Paul, Mimi, July 2O.-Upon
the receipt of the news of the death
of Pope Leo, Archbishop Ireland
paid glowing tribute to the dead
prelate. He said:
"In Leo truly great and good
man passes from the world. The rx-
traordinary, the unparalleled inter
est with which the world the last
fortnight kept vigil around the
Vatican where the old hero batlled
dramatically with grim death, is il
magnificent tribute to Leo, which
could have been evoked only by
unusual features, the offsprin. Of
more grandeur. In the death of Leo
humanity realizes that an orbit of
light, such as is seldom seen to
dominate tie high skies Gifts moral
and Intellectual ornament, has
fallen, making a mighty void which
soon asssa may not be filled.
Great and good Leo, truly was,
fashioned so 10y nature and by
grace divine What a mind it was,
lofty in vision; reaching out to the
vast horizons, soaring upward to
highest regions of thoughtand truth.
When he assembled the poltiical
throne he resolved that so lar as
opportunity came his would be his

scientiously during his lite, Great

Mutual Insurance
Companies Hit Hard.
New State Law Forces Many Of
Them Out of Business in Texas.

Austin, Tex, July 20.-A. S
Thweatt, chief clerk of the State
Department of Insurance has re-
turned from Waco, Dallas, Fort
Worth and Farmersville, where he
went several days ago to investigate
the affairs of mutual insurance CON-
panies. He says that the law enact
ed at the last session of the Legis-
lature governing and regulating the
operation of mutual insurance COM
panies is having a disastrous effect
on some of these concerns. He
found the offices of six of the COM
panies at places which he visited
closed and he could obtain no in
formation as to their business, the
records and officials being absent.
As these companies have voluntari-
ly gone out of business they forfeit
their respective charters by such
action, and it is not known that
there will be any steps of legal
nature taken against them.
The new law requires companies
of this character to file a complete
report of their financial affaits with
the Department of Insurance within
thirty days from July l, when the
act vert into effect. If the report is
unsatisfactory the company is given
until September l in which to
with the requirements of
the Commissioner of Insurance. In
the erent that these requirements
are not complied with at the expira-
ton OF that period, the charter of
the company is forfeited.
A number of companies are en-
1eavoring to arrange their affairs so
as to be able to continue business
lnder the new law.-San Antonio
Express.
