Murphy handed his findings In the

that the identity Of tAe murderer had
not been proved The statement IL
an exhaustive review Of the evidence
brought out during the inquest. Spe-
cial attention IL given to the letters
exchanged between Arthur R. Pennell
and Mrs. Burdick, particularly the one
containing threat against Burdick's
life.
Concerning these the judge says:
. Altogether. these facts would, In
my opinion, constitute just ground
of suspicion ON which q warrant
could be issued. were he alive"
Referring TO Mrs. Hull Judge
Murphy says: "The action Of Mrs.
Hull on that morning (the morning
after the murdcr) and her testimony
ON the stand has caused me much
thought and worry. To my mind,
they are inconsistent with q perfect
want Of knowledge a. TO what had
actually occurred So little apparent
feeling for the dead man, such an
evident desire to cover up the crime
and no disposition whatever to aid
the authorities in experimenting the
murderer may be explainable but
has not been explained"
Speaking of Pennell's relations
With Mrs. Burdick, Judge Murphy
says: "His Of all others was the
motive strong enough to incite .
desperate mind already stepped in
wrong doing to so foul and cruel q
murder. He can never be placed on
trial, nor can his case ever be
judicially determined. Let us be as
fair then to the dead - the law pre-
sumes us TO be to the living. He
must be presumed innocent until
proven guilty."
Continuing, Judge Murphy says:
'The theory that Burdick had .
woman guest in his den that night
has not been sustained by the evil
dence. It has not disclosed single
Immoral act on his part"
