BURDICK IS EXONERATED Inquest Into His Death Lifted Him From Hire CHARACTFR ESTABLISHED As a Loving Father and a Forgiving and Indul gent Husband WAS A VICTIM OF FALSE FRIEND SHIP AND i BROKEN PLEDGES INQUEST TO BE HELD INTO THE TRAGIC DEATH OF ARTHUR PENNELL. i BUFFALO, N. Y., March 26. The in quest into the death of Edwin L Bur dick, who was murdered Just a month ago. ended" this afternoon. . At the close of the inquest Judge Murphy announc ed that official inquiry into the tragic, death of Arthur Pennell, who haa. fig ured so prominently In the Burdick in quest, will begin next Monday. The. Burdick inquest has served to develop several theoroes relative to the crime that had been suggested many days ago, but it would be hardly corre to. say that the investigation has added anything tangible to any of these theor ies. 'Aside' from the failure of the au thorities to secure evidence bearing di rectly upon the commission of the crime or establish the identity of the murder er, there is a feeling of satisfaction hat the name of Burdick has been lift ed from the more in which it was first dragged and his. character shown in' its true lights ; j The evidence brought out during the examination of witnesses by District Attorney Coats worth has shown Bur dick to have been a loving father, al ways willing to sacrifice his own hap piness and pride for the sake of his chldren; that he was the Victim -of false friendship and broken ptedges ana in the face of it all. a., forgiving, indulg ent husband.. The efforts of the authorities to fix the crime upon some one will not end witfi the Inquest. At the same time there is now little hope of success In this undertaking, and the murder will probably go down in criminal history as one of the great unsolved mysteries. Judge Murphy stated, after the court adjourned this afternoon, that his judgment- in the case w-ltl not be handed down until Monday or perhaps late in the week. It is possible that he may issue a warrant for the arrest of "John Doe" 'and "Jane Doe. If Judge Mur phy sees fit ; to take such action the district attorney will be obliged to sub mit the whole case to the grand Jury. LAD FOR THE SAILORS FOUR ROBBERS PLY TRADE ON SAN FRANCISCO WATER .
