POLICE EXPECT AN OPEN VERDICT Burdick Inquest Is Not Likely to Solve the .Mystery. —_— Widow of Murdered Man May Be Called to Testify by the Coroner. B LAV LTy BUFFALO, N. Y., March 22—The in- quest into the death of Edwin L. Burdick will be resumed in Judge Murphy's court to-morrow afternoon. The first witness probably will be George C. Miller, who was attorney for Burdick, and in whose office Burdick and Mrs. Pennell met for | & conference several weeks before Bur- dick’s murder. Following Miller the Dis- trict Attorney may call Miss Romance, the Pennell servant, on whom Pennell re- lied in part for his alibi on the night Bur- dick was murdered. The third witness of the day is expected to be Mrs. Burdick, widow of the murdered man. Miller’s testimony should be interesting, for he knew Burdick well, was familiar with what occurred between him and Pennell and had long talks with Burdick over the divorce case in which Pennell was named as co-respondent. Miss Romance will be questioned re- garding Pennell’s movements on the night of the Burdick murder so far as she ob- served them and his conduct thereafter as it came to her notice. Then will come Mrs. Buratck. Although Mrs. Burdick was not in Buffalo on the night her husband was murdered, she may be called upon to testify to the de- tails of his domestic life up to the time she left her home last December. The authorities are in possession of minute details regarding the whereabouts of Pennell at the time of the murder. It is probable that he saw Mrs. Burdick in | Atlantic City three days before the mur- der. He was in Buffalo again on Wednes- day, February 25. It was on the night of | Thursday, February 26, that Burdick was ! killed.

LOS ANGELES, March 22.—Another Iife | may be lost as a result of the attempt last night to hold up an electric car on the Los Angeles Pacific Railway a mile | west of this city, when three masked rob- bers fired murderously right and left in a crowded coach, not caring whom they | wounded. | Ellls Pearson, who was shot through the thigh, has taken a turn for the worse, and the attending physicians fear that he will not recover. At first it was supposed that he had sustained only a flesh wour and that it was not at all serious, but when he was carefully examined at hospital early this morning it was found that the bullet had entered the lower portion of the abdominal cavity and the locate it. }e has developed a severe fever and is only semi-conscious.

He told her to take a Niagara Falls car and he would join her there. He said this was about 2 o'clock on Friday afternoon or a few minutes earlier. He said he went on down to the | falls and that his wife came and brought the papers with her and that he read in the papers of the murder of Burdick. They stayed at the falls until evening. He and his wife returned from the falls and late that evening the detectives | called at his home and questioned them and he gave them the foregoing account { of his movements. No arrest, it is generally conceded, will take place at the close of the inquest The authorities may see fit to present the case to the Grand Jury, but this is con- sidered improbable in view of the lack of material evidence in hand. Thousands of people to-day visited the stone quarry where Pennell was killed and Mrs. Pennell fatally injured by their | automobile. TWO BROTHERS ATTEMPT TO CLEAN OUT A TOWN Make Murderous Attacks on Several Persons Before They Are Cap- tured by a Posse. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., March 22— Bert and Jesse Hills, section hands on the Vandalia road, in attempting to clean out Browns Valley last night first at- tacked the station agent, who shot one of them with a revolver. They resented | his action and went to town to get re- volvers. James Patton refused to sell them revolvers, whereupon one of them picked up a scale welght and threw it at Patton, while the other assaulted some of his customers with other missiles. A posse was refuge in Dr. Williams’ office, which they barricaded and successfully resisted the attacks of the posse. In the night they escaped from the of- fice, although the posse was camped out- side. The entire town started in pursuit, and after a thirty-mile chase they were captured. X — POISON IN THE MILK CAUSES A MAN’'S DEATH Los ANGELES.’Mar(‘h 22.—The family of George Bitsnau was poisoned to-day by drinking milk which had been left over night in an unclean vessel, and while attempting to vomit what he had eaten for breakfast Bitsnau ruptured the aorta formed and the Hills toolk | | ger who opened fire upon the outlaws. | struck him in the hip and fractured the | bone. He may be crippled for life. Although two-score officers have worked on the case for more than twenty-four hours there is not the Slightest clew to the identity of the robbers, and to add to the difficulties which the case presents the members of the crew of the c: the passengers who witnessed the m of G. A. Griswold and the wounding ot the other passengers now admit that even if they were brought face to face with the men who attempted to rob the car they would not be able to positively identify any of them. | it was expected that when morning came | there would be some trail from the scene | of the robbery to show which way the robbers had gone. Henderson had fired four shots at one of them at a range of | less than six feet and when he fired his | last shot the highwayman was seen to | stagger and half fall off the car. At the same time he cried out as if in pain, Hen- derson was therefore positive that he had | wounded one of the men, but when a search of the scene was made this morn- | ing there was no trail of blood or other thing to show that the robber had been | wounded. | The tracks of three men were found leading to a place where a horse and wa- gon had been tied and the tracks of the wheels were followed until they were lost | in a well-beaten road leading to West | Washington street. There all trace of the robbers was lost and from that point the officers have been unable to follow them. | They have no description of the murder- ers for the reason that out of the thirty | or more passengers who were on the car no two agree as to their descriptions of the men. \ The rallway company announces that it | will offer a reward of $1000 for the capture | of any one of the men. The Board of Su- y Council will be asked to make a similar offer. Application has also been made to Governor Pardee to offer a re- ward on behalf of the State. A telegram has been received from the bank at Man- son, Iowa, of which Griswold, the mur- dered man, was president, stating that the bank will duplicate any reward which may be offered for the capture of the mur- derers.

It was quickly switched where the fire could be extinguished, and Inspection of the car revealed two dead bodles badly burned. Coroner Felch was notified and this morning impanneled a jury, who viewed the bodies and investigated the surround- ings. The conditions showed that the two men had gone Into the car for a night's sleep, had procured coal and bullt a fire in a tin can, lying down on either side of the can to sleep. The car being airtight the fumes from the coal had smothered them. The floor of the car took fire, which ignited the clothing of the men. The arm of one man was burned off near the elbow and the thigh of the other was badly burned. Papers were found in the pockets identi- fying one as Michael Hunt, a member of the Cooks’ and Waliters’ Union of Ta- coma; the other, Frank McClusky, a member of a llke union at Lake City, Oregon. One of the men had been seen about town for a couple of days past, and it Is supposed they were cooks looking for employment. Coroner Felch com- municated with the unions mentioned and found that both men were in good stand- ing. —_——— WASHINGTON, March 22.—Former Queen Liliuokalan! of Hawali, who has been in Washington for the past winter in an effort to obtain from Congress compensation for the crown lands of which she was deprived when the island was annexed to the United States, has left here for San Frencisco, en route to | Honolulu, at least willing to ablde by the findings and carry out its provisions. An official of the largest corporation sald the award was a practical vindication of the coal companies; the 10 per cent increase and reduction of hours tp the firemen were pmctlcn.l& conceded. He said that the report and the review of the coal mining conditions will be of great ultimate good; that violence and boycotts have been de- nounced In no unmistakable language, and that peace and normal conditions will pre- vail In this region for the next three years at least. All the local company officials will put their clerks at work to-morrow to figure up the bonus coming to each employe un- der the award granting 10 per cent in- crease/of wages earned since November 1. The Lehigh Valley Company has in its employ 35,000 men and a majority of them will receive from $25 to $50 each. The min- ers have also made good wages since the strike ended and will profit by the award to fhe extent of from $40 to $60 each on percentage. The Susquehanna Coal Company was the only corporation that was not repre- sented before the commission, but they have agreed to abide by the result of the award. They will pay their employes the same rate and in the same manner as all the other companies.
