kansas Village Nearly
Wiped Out.

Newport, Ark, April 11.-During
the tornado last Tuesday night three
pearl fishers named Tapp, who lived
in a shanty boat on White river, were
drowned. Belated reports from Van
Buren, county and from the village of
Pearson, Claiborne county, show that
the damage Gone by the tornado has
been underestimate.
. Pearson was almost wiped out of ex-
istence. Among those who are known
to be seriously and probably fatally
injured are J. NJ. Clayton, his wife
and his daughter Ida. Five villages

STATEMENT MADE BIZ PENNELL
Says the District Attorney L. Convinced
That He Was Not Implicated.

W. C. Omphelius, Pencils ste
nographer, produced typewriter copy
of the first draft of a statement pre-
pared for publication by Pencil be-
fore his death. Pencil took the state
ment away with him to make some
corrections. and Omphelius never saw
the corrected statement. The original
statement follows as to its interest
ing or material parts:
ITO the Public-Now that the food
of sensationalism and yellow journal
ism has lessoned, and that public ex-
citement has died down to a calmer
consideration of the facts and events
leading up to terrible tragedy which
has recently taken place in this city,
/ wish, in behalf of myself, but es-
pecially more in behalf of others,
whose sufferings are even greater than
mine, to make this statement.
Owing to the fact that my name
was so unfortunately at this time con-
nected with the pending divorce pro-
ceedings it was forced into great pub
hcity in connection with the tragedy
itself. So far as any possible cOnnec-
ton with that crime was concerned
satisfied, l think. the district attorney
and his assistants thoroughly that l
had nothing to do with 1t, and since
that time neither has my house nor
myself been under suspicion or surveil-
lance"
1T now becomes incumbent upon
me to make some statement relative to
my connection with the divorce pro-
ceedings. In this statement wish to
say as little as possible upon the dead.
But it must bc remembered that those
who are living have their lives to live,
and the rights Of the living are greater
than the rights of the dead. There
was no truth in the charges brought
by the plaintiff In that proceeding
against the defendant and myself.

REMAINS A MYSTERY
BuffaIo's Murder and Supposed
Suicide Sensation Have
Not Been Solved.
PENNELL INQUEST Is AT AN END
Judge Murphy Says 1t Throws No
Light on the Events-Pennel;'s
Statement.

Buffalo. N. Y, April 1.-THE EVIL
dence given at the inquest into the
deaths of Arthur r. Pennell and Mrs.
Pennell before Justice Murphy will not
help the authorities in any way to a
solution of the Burdick murder mys-
terry. Whether the tragedy at Genres
stone quarry on March 10, in which
Pencil was killed and Mrs. Pennell
fatally injured. was due to accident
or design, was Lot proven. Thomas
Penney, who has acted as attorney for
the Pencil family since Arthur Pen
nelrs death, declared that so far as
he was aware nothing in the papers
left by Pennell would throw any lisht
upon the murder of Edwin Burdick.
When Penney was questioned regard
ing the alleged defalcations by Pen
nell he declined TO answer. j. Frederick
Pencil, brother of the dead lawyer,
who has possession of most of the pa
pers, is out of the city.
Judge Gives Up the Riddle.
Evidence that would show defalca-
lion would simply be accumulative,"
said Justice Murphy. after the evil
dence was all in. mo stronger mo-
tive could be proven than has already
been brought out during the inquest on
the murder of Burdick. But proving G.
motive does not establish suicide. The
court is prepared to announce its find
ings." Judge Murphy then delivered
his verdict as follows: Il find and
certify: That Arthur r. Pencil came
to his death Oh the 10th day of March,
1903, as a result of injuries received
while riding in an automobile, the said
automobile piunging from an embank-
ment into the Genres stone quarry.
That 1 cannot determine from the evil
dence submitted whether such plunge
was accidental or designed. That Car
RE Lamb Pencil came to her death as
a result of the said plunge of the au-
tomobile into the quarry"
Synopsis of the Testimony.
The testimony before the court was
a boy testified that when Pencil got
his wife a drink of whisky they both
laughed at something he said; there
was no testimony pointing to suicidal
purpose in the ride. Lawyer Penney
would tell nothing Of Pencils finan-
cial affairs or as to his being a de
faulter, and said nothing that had
come into his hands had any bearing
on the Burtlick murder. Lawyer
Thayer would only say that he held
$4,000 in life insurance paid for by
Pencil in trust for a person whose
name he was bound by the trust con-
ditions not to diyulge.
