New Tork. March 24. There is un
doubtcdljr u growing demand by the
people of this country that the self-
governing colonies should bear a larg
er share of the cost of the imperial
defense, says a dispatch to the Trl

as follows:
"Supposing foi a moment that Can

would be forced, especially as her

considerable fleet to defend hor mer

maintains that Canada is doing her
full duty in the imperial defense by
building railways, most of which
wero made possible by English cap!
tal."
The real meaning of this and simi
lar arguments Is that John Bull, In
spite of his broad hack, Is groaning

She was shown a letter which she
recognized as one written by Mrs.
Pennell to Burdick. pleading for him
to drop the divorce proceedings for
the sake of her children. She be
sought him to save the reputation of
all and not cast the stigma of divorce

One letter said: "Allie. 1 am going

Was Stunned by News.
The first news she received of Bur-
diek's murder was a telegram from
Mrs. Hull saying: "Ed died this morn
ing. He had just arisen after a usual
nt'hf's rest." She wired both Mrs.
Hull and Pennell that she would be
in Buffalo that night. She was stun
ned and shocked nnd hardly knew
what she was doing. She wired Pen
nell not as a lawyer, but as a friend.
She was met at the station by a re
porter who was tho first to tell her
that Burdlck's death was caused by
murder. She learned the full circum
stances onlv when she arrived at the
house. She didn't hear from Ponnell

She had another talk with Bur

divorce or not. There was no decided
feeling either way. She loft It all to
Pennell. She finally agreed to let the
divorce go by default, Burdick prom
ising thnt she could have the child

she decided to make a defense to
save her reputation. The witness and
Ponnell expected Mrs. Pennell to se
cure a divorce but when the latter
declined, Pennell decided to defend
Burdlck's suit. He told her when she
was divorced he would go West, pro
cure a divorce and marry her. She
didn't know whether Pennell had any

signed an amended answer In the
Burdick suit and bade him good-bye
at the station. He seemed cheerful
nnd confident that she would get a
divorce, rather than Burdick.
, On further examination Mrs. Bur
dick said she received no letter from
Pennell dated from Niagara Falls,
saying: "that he had received the
telegram and was greatly shocked by
the newB of Burdlck's death." No-
raSdy brought. -her. ,ai ..verbs' uieswtgc

Regarding New Developments.
The resumption of the inquest was
delayed CO minutes, while the offic
ials held a conference regarding the
new developments.
Mrs. Burdick was ngaln called to
the stand. Coatsworth produced more
Setters which were identified by the
witness. One wns from her husban'
in which he said: "Sometimes I think
it would bo hotter for us all If I were
out of the way." At tho time when
he wrote this letter she admitted thnt
she was in New York, seeing Pennell
daily. On from Pennell to her said:
I "I love you nnd want you with me,
hut It will never he; our fate is inex
orable unless we choose to break it."
The witness said she believed Pen
noil's meaning was to get two di
vorces;
She was asked point blank If she
would swear sho had received no In
formation as to who committed the
murder, nnd that she did not and
could not lav hands on the murderer,
Mrs. Burdick replied, emphatlcnll
l.v; "I knew' nothing whatever of It."
Coatsworth then relinquished the
witness. Attorney Hartsell, her coun
sol. questioned her and brought out
statements that Burdick was jealous
and had a reputation that would be
likely to combat nny detrimental dis
closures. That he knew his wife re
ceived a letter from Pennell.
Sho said there was nothing crimi
nal or immoral In their relations and
that she was never in a compromising
situation with Pennell and that he
never made any Improper proposi
Hons. Thetr relations were Innocent.
Ench honored the other and they ex
pected to be married. Pennell always
took the Initiative, when she return
ed, he pursued her everywhere until
sho was forced to meet him.
The Pennells are both familiar with
the Burdick house and a person could
gain entrance to the den easily with
out attracting anyone's attention.
Sho didn't know whether either of the
Fennels visited the house the night
of hto murder. She never remember-
od making any threats. The witness
was then excused.
Yesterday R. Burns, general agent for
tho Oregon Railroad & Navigation
