clare that Mrs. Gertrude Barnard Paine,

no means of knowing who killed Mr..
Burdick. will take the stand in the COM
ing trial and under oath charge Pencil

The insurance men say they will prove
that Pennell was a defaulter and 60

he spent freely was obtained by fraudu-
lent and Legitimate means. and that
