MISSING PAPERS.
A Business Associate of the
Late Z. L. Burdick
Points Out Probable Motive for
the Murder.
HE HAD SEEN LETTERS
They Would BE discriminating
If Produced.
Other Papers of Damaging
Character Are Missing.

Buffalo, n. Y. March 16.-The inquest
into the cause of the death of Edwin
L. Burdick was continued today Dis
trict Attorney Coatsworth, before the
investigation was begun, declined to
state what witnesses would be heard,
with the exception of DR.. William H
Marcy, the physician who was called to
the Burdick house by telephone on the
morning of the murder and who was
the first person to see the murdered
man. He was the one also who Dep
uty Medical Examiner Holland said on
the stand had asked him to report the
tragedy as a suicide, if ne could do so.
The district attorney said that Mrs.
Maria A. Hull, the mother of Mrs.
Burdick, would not be recalled today.
The Express prints an interview with
a person who at one time was a stock
holder in the Buffalo envelope company
and for u years a close friend of E.
L. Burdick. The interview in part is
as follows: L had been acquainted with
Mr.. Burdick for u years prior to his
death. I came in almost daily con-
tact with him and for some time past
had been more or less in his confidence.
First of all 1 want to say something in
defense of his character which has been
unjustly maligned by statement and in
sinuation. Mr.. Burdick was a gentle
man in every sense OF the word. This
talk about his intimacy with women
I believe was wholly without founda-
ton.
Though I knew in the early part of
December that Mr.. Burdick had made a
Will cutting off his wife 1t was not until
shortly after Christmas that I learned
anything about the divorce proceedings.
He then told me of having begun d suit
for divorce IN the early part of Novem-
Der.
I cannot help believing from all I
heard from Mr.. Burdick that the mo-
tive for the crime might have been a
desire to suppress the scandal that
would have been incident to the trial
Of a divorce suit.
soon after Mr. Burdick told me of
his having begun divorce proceedings
he showed me a letter he had just re-
ceived from New York. Mr.. Burdick
handed me the letter and I read every
word of it.
In the letter the writer was trying
hard to bring about a reconciliation be
tween Mr.. Burdick and his wife. Shs
pleaded with Burdick to take Allie
back The writer also wrote in this let
ter something that Burdick construed as
a threat that unless there was a recon
ciliation there would be a double sui
eide. I can not remember the exacl
words, out they were something like
this: Do you want to put an end to al
our I5ves?'
Mr. Burdick pointed out that par
ticular part of the letter to me anC
said: That means suicide Well lei
them so ahead and do it
1T seems to me that this letter oughr
to be found. What has become of it.
Did he have it in his desk in his der
at his house, and was it taken by tn,
murderer when rifiing the drawer tha
was found oDen?
Another paper that should be founc
is a list of twenty meeting places tina
Mr. Burdick had secured for use in hi:

Hossey as an arch poizoner. This case
is assuming proportions far beyond the
comprehension of those connected with
it at the time Hossey was arrested. The
real investigation is just beginning. and
before it proceeds much further startling
developments will crop up. There may
be several arrests, but they are not like~

Hossey. the negro herb doctor" who
is accused of being an accessory to the
alleged murder OF VIM. G. Danz.
These letters. which are said to be OF
an discriminating nature, vary little in
their terms. and. It is asserted, show
that Hossey charged 800 for every
case. Some of the letters point to pay
ment of the fee in installments.

HAMILTON OUT OF 1T.
Topeka Young Man Will Resume
Practice Of Law.

Captain Clad Hamilton has set April
! as the date on which he will retire
from the states legal department. At
torney General Coleman asked Cap
tain Hamilton to remain for a time, at
least, when he took charge of the office,
although Captain Hamilton had stated
that he intended to give all his time to
his private law business. Now that
the legislature is over he will retire from
the office. 1t is not yet known who his
successor will be.
The place Captain Hamilton has been
occupying is known as special assist
ant attorney general The house this
year tried to do away with it by leav-
ing it out of the executive and judicial
appropriation bill but the senate in
sisted on its going in, and the senate
had its way. but the salary IS cut from
81 800 a year to $1,000
The state has never had a. more con-
scientious and faithful official than
