DIVORCE CASE SHIELD TO OWN CRIME Lawyer's Defease ta Be&di at Iaqnest, Which Casta Odium on Huaband of Womaa lie Lure Too Well. BUFFALO, April 10. Enlivened by num erous tilts between lawyer and Judge, but barren of result, the long-expected Pennell Inquest was opened and closed this after noon. The one Item of interest which was allowed to come out was the dead man's statement with respect to the Burdlck mur der, hut even It was discounted by previous forecasts and the fact that the copy read was but a rough draft afterwards revised. When Judge Murphy opened court Thomaa Penny represented the dead man's family end District Attorney Coatswc rth appeared for the state. The latter attempted to bring out stories relating to the alleged defalcations, but in this he was unsuccess ful, because the only witnesses who were free to talk were not present and Mr. Penny shielded himself behind hia privi leges as a lawyer. 1 In bis statement Pennell dented any Im proper relations with Mrs. Burdlck and tried to surround her husband's memory with odium. Finally, when all the witnesses had been examined and the last squabble between Judge Murphy and Mr. Penny was con cluded, his honor gave his noncommittal decision declining to decide between suicide and accident. Lawyer Ttlta with Jadgt, Frank Jerger, who aaw the automobile on the afternoon of the tragedy, described the movements of the machine. Mr. Penny oMtcted, but Judge Murphy overruled him.

Mr. Penny then attempted to cross-examine tho witness, whereupon Judge Mur phy again interposed, and after a heated argument, during which tho attorney de clared the proceedings had been irregular all through, threatened to eject him. A few c-inutea later the lawyer himself took the atand, but shielding himself behind his privileges as an attorney, refused to disclose the dead man's private affairs. "Do you know," asked Mr. Coatsworth, "whether he owed any considerable amount of money at the time of his death?" "I decline to answer." "What do you know about the story that Pennell was a defaulter T" "I decline to answer. I am willing to state, however, that Pennell's papers refer In no way to the Burdlck case. There Is no reference in any of them to Mrs. Bur dlck or to detectives." Wallace Thayer, another of Pennell's law yers, also took the stand, aaylng: I will state that In none of Mr. Pennell's communications to me and in none of Ms &nper was there anything bearing on the urjkk munier. He left with me a sealed envelope of In structions and two Inmirance policies for fL'S.dO. which 1 was to hold In trjst. I waa limtructed not to open the sealed package until the Insurance money was paid over in me and then I waa not to make public the name of the person or persons for whom I held the insurance In trust or n:ake known their names to anybody aside from the beneficiary or beneficiaries. Now, that Is all I care to say. Declares Burdlck Aloao Guilty. Wallace G, Omphellus, who was Pennell's clerk, produced a copy of a statement de ceased had prepared with reference to the Burdlck murder. Mr. Coatsworth read It. It was prepared on the Saturday following the murder and was addressed to the pub lic. In It Pennell said be had satisfied the district attorney and the police that be had nothing to do with the murder. With reference to his connection with tho divorce proceedings, h said: It now becomes Incumbent upon me to make some statement relative to my con nection with the divorce proceedings.

TSut it must be remembered that three who are living have their lives to live and the rights of ih liv ing are greater than the rights of the dead. There was no truth in the thires brought by the plaintiff In that proceeding at;alri8t the defendant and myself. The charges were absolutely dented under oath and counter charges had been Bade and in a short time the caae would have been quietly tried before a referee and settled. The relations existing between the plain tiff and the defendant had been s-tra ned. for some time. Twtae he had unjustly at tempted to make her leave her home.

Verdict la Noncommittal. Mr. Coatsworth' then Inquired whether J. Frederick Pennell would be In town. He said he wanted to ask him about the al leged defalcations. "I don't believe any greater motive can be established than has been brought out here," said the Judge, and proceeded to give his verdict, as follows: I find and certify that Arthur R. Pennell came to his death on the 10th day of March, lXi. as a result of injuries received while rliilng in an automobile, the said automobile plunging from an embankment Into the Gehr stone quarry. That I cannot determine from the evi dence submitted whether such plunge was accidental or designed.

One of his elsssmates and closest friends conducted the services, the college quartet at Intervals singing with exquisite effect the familiar hymns appropriate to such occasions.
