At noon to-day he stated that the information concern- ing Pennell's extensive stealings from the estates of his Bastern friends and relatives had been recelved by him a@ week ago, but that he had not been made familiar with the details of the swindies until he read them in yester- day’s Evening World. “I believe it is all trne,” said Mr, Coaisworth. "As q matter of fact, the story of Pennell’s crooked financial dealings would have come out officially if the Pennell inqui had been held im- mediately following the Burdick inquest.
