the crime that had been suggested
many days ago but il would be hardly

has added anything more than an ap-

of these theories. Aside from the fail
ure OF the authorities TO secure evil

mission of the crime or to establish
the identity OF the murderer there IS
feeling OF satisfaction that the name
oi Mr.. Burdick has been lifted from
the mire in which il was first dragged
and his character shown in its. true
light The evidence brought out IN
der the examination OF Witnesses by
District Attorney Coatsworth has
shown Burdick To have been loving
