BUFFALO, March Flor the first time
since the beginning OF the Burdick inquest

believes to be the murderer Of the envelope
manufacturer. Charles s. Parke, for almost
twenty years the business partner and
close friend Of Mr.. Burdick, swore on the
stand to-day that he was satisfied - 70

Arthur Pennell, in pertpn or by hired
assassin, said Parke.
Mr.. Coatsworth pursued'a line OF qucs-
tioning to get at the basis for Psrke's
opinion. The witness. who seemed morally
certain in his suspicion. could give a. his
only reason the fact that he considered
Pencils motive to be the strongest.
Parke's announcement came quietly. in
the natural course Of the proceedings. and
toward the close Of the session.
He had been questioned exhaustively
and had repeated the story Of Burdick's
domestic troubles as Burdick had told them
to him in their Office weeks ago. Burdick
had said that he did not blame Mrs. Burdick.
but did blame Pennell. Burdick said he
had been warned by friends to look out
for Pennell, but had paid little heed. a.
he thought Pencil was physical coward.
Burdick told Parke that Psnnen and Mr..
Pennell had asked him to take Mrs.. Burdick
back, and that he refused.
Parke told Of the happenings at the
Burdick house when he arrived there
after the murder. He swore that DR..
Marcy, who met him at the door. told him
he had tried to make 1t out Q case Of suicide,
but IL would not work.
His testimony In regard to Mrs.. Hulls
| behavior was very favorable to the aged
woman. whom he has known for several
yeas.
When he came to tell that he beloved

made IL the more impressive and created
the most dramatic feature Of the inquest.
