man who had sat in the same chair
two days before and bad resisted tba

break her down.
"Grandma" controlled Marion;
from ber law there was no appeal.
Tbla wm the most significant fact
brought out by the examination.

Into the crowded room with a
quick, modest step and bowed to the
lawyers for the "family" and shook
hands with one of them. Then, guid-
ed by a friend, she slipped through
the crowd and came to the chair,
where she had a whispered conversa-
tion with Justice Murphy, probably
with reference to her oath.
Then she faced the district attor-
ney. Never once did she take her
eyes from his while the inquest last-
She met his eyes when they
were fixed on her, and she gazed in-
tently at him when he looked aside,
«r down, to take counsel with himself.
Her answers were all short and
moat of them monosyllabic—"Yes,"
'No"—but they were emphatic and
decisive. When the same questions
were repeated she answered ' with
more emphasis; but, save for this,
her clear tones did not vary.
The examination took the course
of trying to establish what words had
pMsed between Marion and her
grandmother on the Friday morning
zips. rujx-j A-NUU.
But one point was new. As to alleg-
ed rows in the house. Katie, who
waited at table, had never heard Mr.
Burdlck speak to his children, to Mrs.
Hull or to his wife In anything but a
pleasant, agreeable manner. Never
In her hearing had he raised his voice
to anybody in that house. The morn-
ing that Mrs. Burdlck left the house
forever, at his command. Katie, wait-
ing at the breakfast table, had heard
the same gentle, cheerful chat that
she had always listened to there.
Mrs. Burdlck bad informed her and
Miss Murray that she was going
away for a rest. Katie had never
heard a syllable about divorces until
after the murder. Mr. and Mrs. Bur-
dick had neve/ said a word about it.
No points of Interest were develop-
ed in the testimony of Dr. Marcy.
Mrs. Maria Hull, mother of Mrs.
Burdlck, despite her sixty-four years
and the tremendous strain of a two
hours, keen examination, withstood
the ordeal of cross-examination well,
and did not lose control of her nerves

R. pMMell was ik* murderer and that
k* slaw kla victim wltk ihe knuwl-
edg* and connivance of some on* In-
side llurdlrk's house Ike night wf the
crime. The questions of the prosecu-
tor* for the state were so shaped as
to Intimate that Mrs. Hull, mother of
llurdlrk's wife, wm the accomplice
of fennel I or of the hired Msassln
sent to murder Burdlck
Mr*. Gertrude 8. Paine, wife of
Dr. Beth T. Paine, wm one of the wit
ncanea of Ihe day. She declcd that
her relations with Burdlck had been
anything but proper. She told of the
scandal arising over the relatione
twoen Mrs. Burdlck and Pennell and
the Burdlck divorce plans.
It was Charles S. Parke, Burdlck's
former partner, who furniahud the
sensation He Mid boldly be believ-
ed Penned or an assassin hired by
him murdered Burdlck, the object
being to prevent the scandal that
must ensue If Burdlck's divorce cue
went to trial. Parke's belief wm
founded on Information and talks be
had with Burdlck himself. From this
testimony It appeared that Pennell
had threatened to kill himself and
Mrs. Burdlck if the divorce suit wm
not withdrawn. Other evidence show-
ed Burdlck had been warned to look
out for Pennell, who had carried a
revolver. It was plain, the witness
thought, that Pennell was bent on
preventing at any cost the divorce
trial and the consequent airing of his
own misdeeds. The assassination,
therefore, waa the logical conse-
quence.
The Burdlck inquest was postponed
from March 18 until March 23. Dis-
trict Attorney Coatsworth is suffering
from a sore throat and cannot speak
without great difficulty.
When the Burdlck inquest is re-
sumed it is expected that another clew
going to show that A. R. Pennell was
the murderer of E. L. Burdlck will be
revealed.
It is stated that District Attorney

Maatodon Remains In New York.
The skeletons of sixty mastodons
have been found In the state of New
York distributed along certain well
marked belts, as follows; Thirty-four
In aMtern New York from Albany
south through Newburgh; thirteen
from Rochester south through Living
ston county; two near Chautauqua
lake and two near Ithaca. Outalde of
thMe belts the state Is barren. It
would appear, therefore, that the n
todons had distinct feeding grounds,
and the remains Indicate that the
beMta were living in a time not very
remote. Their skeletons are now
usually found resting on the boulders
of old streams In a comparatively thin
layer of peat No specimen of the
mammoth hu yet been found in the
state. When President Roosevelt, then
governor of New York, urged that the
mammoth should appear in its coat
of arms, it was evident that although
a mighty hunter of existing big game
he was a bit weak in his knowledge
of extinct types.

A New Machine Gun.
The Danish army has formally
adopted a new machine-gun, which ap-
pears to be most efficient. Its impor-
tant difference from all other machine-
guns is that it weighs very little more
than an ordinary rifle and can be
carried and operated by one man;
moreover, it has no bulky carriage, but
merely requires a tripod stand or a
simple rest. It is possible for a
mounted man to carry the gun and
one thousand rounds of ammunition,
which can be fired at the rate of three
hundred rounds per minute, or slower
If desired. The cartridges are not
carried on a belt, as with the Maxim
gun, but are fitted into curved maga-
zines, each holding thirty rounds, and
packed side by side into a special
kind of knapsack. The new machine-
gun is also far cheaper than any simi
lar weapon, and a few mounted men
armed with It would prove a most
formidable foe.

The accompanying illustration rep-
resents a fire-escape which stands in a
class alono aa far as novelty is con-
cerned, having a unique feature which
has probably never before been ap-
plied to the work of saving people
from burning buildings. There might
possibly be one objection to the erec-
tion of this apparatus on buildings,
and that Is the stror.? temptation it

Coatsworth will place in evidence a
letter alleged to have been written to
Mrs. Burdick by Arthur R. Pennell
some months ago. The letter was
found in the Burdick home when the
search of the house was made by the
police. In the letter the following
occurs:
"I feel that I must kill Ed Burdick."
When Mrs. Burdick comes to the
stand she will probably be called upon
to Identify the letter mentioned above.

cattle in their stalls the halter tie here
shown should recommend itself to the
considerate farmer. It has the facul-
ty of taking up all slack in the rope,
no matter what the position of the
head may be; yet there is little exer-
tion required to lift the weight and
lengthen the tie when the animal lies
down or reaches after food in the end
of the manger. The device consists
of a vertical tube, with a pulley at the
top, over which the rope passes be-
fore being attached to the weight. The
latter need only be sufficiently heavy
to counterbalance the cord, as there
is no strain to be overcome until tbe
weight reaches the top of the tube and
is held in place by the roller.
