STILL AT LARGE
Man Who Murdered His Father-in-Law
 Posse Searching. M

Waterloo, III, Sept 12.-William A. Hoffman, the slayer of his father-in- law, William Brandt, is still at large.
 Sheriff Ruch of Waterloo has called off his little posse of five, men and the search has been abandoned.
 Relatives of the dead man assert that Sheriff Rueh has made no effort to ap- prehend the fugitive. Sheriff Ruch, on the other hand, declares that Hoffman has fled the country.
 Sheriff Ruch had trouble procuring an adequate posse, Try as he would to get men to accompany him, his efforts were almost in vain.

that he was guilty. He would
have the right TO trial. The re-
port continues: He cali never
be placed on trial here nor can
his case ever be judicially de-
termlned. Let us be as fair then
to the dead as the law presumes
us to be to the living. He must
be presumed innocent until prov
en- guilty"
The finding says that the evi
dence does not sustain the theory
that Burdick had a woman in his
den that night, nor has it dis
closed single immoral act on
his part, and conclule7:
''It portrays him as a loving
father and more than magnani
nous and forgiving husband Mrs.
Paine and Miss Hutc hison, who's @
names have been unfortunately
brought into this case, are so far
as this inquest is able to determ-
inc, completely exnoerated.
"The action of Mrs. Hull on that
morning and her testimony on the
stand have caused me much
thought and study. To my mind
they are inconsistent, with a
perfect wanton lack of knowledge
as to what had actually occurred.
So little apparent feeling for the
dead man; such an evident desire
to cover up the crime ard no
disposition whatever to aid the
authorities in apprehending the
murderer may be explainable,
out has not been explained. The
opening of the windows from the
inside and no one having gone
through as indicated by the snow
and ice on the ledge would indi-
cate desire on the part of some
one to give this crime the appear
ence of a burgular's work. The
person who waited their to wrap
the head of his victim in that
blanket and pile pillows on his
corpse was not a burgular. Moth
ing has been missed from the
house excepting Burdick's watch.

DR.. John r. Rowland for his re
fusal to entertain the suggestion
of suicide. But for his rugged
honesty we may never have
known that one Of the most clev-
er and shocking murders of this
or any other age had been COM
mitted at our very doors. This
is essentially a city of homes
where the marriage contract is
looked upon as the corner stone
of society and is something that
is sacredly regarded by all. TO
make little of it is to forfeit the
good will and respect of our peo-
pie and to invite their most
severe censure. 1t is our duty
to censure Mrs. Burdick. But

Mrs. Burdict and Pennel and
says that it seems that five years
ago, on the occasion of visit to
New Haven by the Burdicks and
Pennells, Mrs. Burdick "gave the
love which belonged to her hus-
band to another. She loved Pen
mel and he apparently became
infatuated with her" Burdick
learned the truth and separa-
ton followed, but because of love
for his children he took his wife
back and forgave the author of
his wrong upon his promise to
leave Buffalo. "This promise and
the promise which Mrs. Burdick
made to her husband" say S
Judge Murphy, "were shameless
ly broken. Finally Mr.. Burdick
told her she must leave his house,
and he applied for a divorce from
his wife. Pennel, however, in.
duced her to defeat the suit.
Burdick had been shadowingPen-
nell and Mrs. Burdick and Pennell
had detectives shadowing Bur.
dick. So far as appears from
the evidence" says the Judge,
"Pennell had not succeeded in
compromising Burdick in any
way. Burdick, however, had a
lot of evidence, consisting of let
ters written by Pennell to Mrs.
Burdick of such a gushing, love
sick, importuning nature that
their publication meant complete
humiliation and social ruin to
their author. This, of all
Others" says the judge, "was the
motive strong enough to incite
desperate mind, already stepped
in wrongdoing, to commit so foul
and cruel murder. Did he do
its Was he responsible for it?
He had returned from the deal
mans wife the day before the
murder. He was here that night.
He was very much excited the
next morning and went and pur
chased a revolver. The clerks
present at the sale state that at
that time he did not appear at
all like himself"
The judge tells of Pennell's visit
to the falls on the discovery of the
murder, of his message to his
wife to bring the papers and of
their failure to return for dinner
that evening. Continuing, the
judge says in one of Penneli's
letters to Mrs Burdict, thesr was
a threat that he would kill her
husband. The cashier and bar
tender. of New York hotel also
testified that he said he would
kill a certain man, and Mrs Pen
nell had written Burdict warn
ing letter Pennell had com
plete knowledge of the Burdick
home and considering his rela
tions with the family it would
have been an easy matter for
him to obtain key thereto. AL
together these facts would in my
opinion constitute Just grounds
of suspicion on which a warrant
could be issued were he alive.
That would not mean. however.

CHARGES DEAD WITH CRIME.
Judge Murphy's Summary of the
Burdict Testimony.

verdict in the Burdict inquest,
handed down by Judge Murphy
today, while stating that the
identity of the murderer of Ed.
win l.. Burdict has not been prov
en-, practically charges Arthur r.
Pennel, the dead lawyer, with
the crime.
Pennel had stronger motive
than any one else for putting
Burdick out of the way, Judge
Murphy says, and all the facts
brought out by the inquest consti-
tutes just grounds for the issu
ance of warrant against Pennell
if he were alive.
The verdict is softened some what
so far as 1t relates to Pennel by
the statement that if Pennel were
alive he would be given the pre-
sumption of innocence until prov
en- guilty.

murder and the crime was not
the work of burglar. He ex-
onorates Mrs. Gertrude B. Paine
and Miss Hutchinson from any
connection with the crime and
in conclusion, criticises Mrs
Maria A. Hull and censures Mrs
Burdick, the former for her atti,
tude toward the authorities and
the inconsistency of her actions
with the theory that she had no
knowledge of the murder.
Judge Murphy stated this after.
noon that he will hold the in,
quest into the death of Arthur
l.. Pennel the latter part of this
week or the first of next.
Judge Murphy's findings con.
tain an exhaustive review of the
evidence brought out during the
inquest.
In the beginning Of his report
Judge Murphy certifles that the
cause of Burdick's death "was
compound, comm;nuted, multiple
fracture of the skull. That said
fracture was the result of severa
blows by some person with a dul
edged weapon, delivered will
homicidal intent, and the identity
of said person has not been pro
vided."
