London, March 26.

LITTLE HAS BEEN DISCOVERED Shown That Murdered Man Was Affectionate Father and s His Life Was With out Taint Buffalo, March 26. The inquest into the death of E. L. Burdick who was murdered just om month ago. ended this afternoon. At the close of the In quest Judge Murphey announced that the official Inquiry Into the tragic death of Arthur Pennell, who has figured so prominently in the Burdick lnquest.wlll begin next Monday. The Burdick 'nquest has served to develope several theories relative to the! crime that had been suggested many days agi, but it would be hardly correct to say that the Investigation has added anything tangible to any of these theories. Aside from the failure of the author itles to secure evidence bearing direct ly upon the commission of the crime or to establish the Identity of the murder er, there is a feeling of satisfaction that the name of Burdick has been lift ed from the mire, In which It was at first dragged, and his character shows in Its true light. Evidence brought out at Ihe examination by District At torney Coutsworth has shown Burdick to have been a loving father, always willing to sacrifice his own happiness and pridi for the sake of his chldren; that he was the victim of fale friends and broken pledges and In the face of it all, a forgiving and indulgent hus band. '-.-' Efforts of the authorities to fix the crime upon someone will not end with the Inquest. At the same time there s now little hope of success In it.'
