That postal ring at Washington
seems to be about the rottenest gang
of thieves that ever disgraced the
government. The rascals should be
ferreted out and punished to the ex.
tent of the law, regardless of the eff,
feet it may have on any political par
ty. The people have right to de-
mand an honest administration of
the affairs of the department, and
they will insist that this be done.
Ne want no screening of the guilty
because they have powerful political
backing. That but adds to the
shame Of it.

BLOOD SPOTS AND
A REVOLVER
More Shreds of Evidence
Come to the Surface in
Burdick Case

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 28.-When
the Burdick inquest is reopened on
Monday morning by Judge Murphy 1t
is probable that other witnesses be-
sides the New York hotel employees
who say they heard Arthur R. Pennell
threaten to kill some one, will be call
ed to testify. Evidence brought to
light today shows that between the
time Pencil left the Iroquois hotel
barber shop on the day after the MUIR
der of Burdick and the time he took
a trolley car for Niagara Falls he went
to the store of c. E Walbridge in Main
street and purchased a revolver. Three
men saw Pencil in the store that
morning, saw him buy the revolver and
they say they noticed some agitation
in his manner
A scrap Of evidence important as
tending to show that the murderer of
Burdick left the Ashland avenue house
after doing the CHASTITY deed has been
seized upon within the past twenty
four hours by the police, and City
Chemist Hill is at work upon it. This
evidence is in the shape of two spots
believed to be the marks of bloody
fingers on the casing of the outer front
door of the Burdick house. The spots
which were about breast high, may
have been made, if they are finger
prints, by the assassin who when leav-
ing the house leaned one hand against
the door casing to steady himself while
with the other he carefully shut the
front door.
