THE AFFAIR IX BUFFALO '
E. L. Burdick Slain, Suspect
Died With Wife When Mo- |i
tor Went Off Cliff.
NEW JERSEY'S baffling picture;,
puzzle, the Hall-Mills murder j,
case, has held the front pages
of newspapers for moro than two
months. This fact, a reflection of continued
public Interest lr. a crime both
k levoltlng and fascinating, constitutes
' a record. Yet there are old timers
who contend that, taking account of
b 11 the ingredients and circumstances,
tho Borden case was an even more
singular mystery. Others. Angering
the flies of memory, hold that the
Burdfck case still ranks first among
murder stories to which the word
"finis" has never been appended.
Andrew J. Borden and his wife were
killed In their Pall River home thirty
years Rgo. Their daughter Lizzie was
tried and acquitted. Edwin L. Burdicli
was killed in his Buffalo home nineteen
years ago. A woman was suspected,
then a man, but by curious
chanc?or wus it chance??even before
there could be an inquest, the
man and his wife fell over a precipice |
in their automobile and were killed, j
leaving an interrogation point that
has never been erased. Borden and
Bnrdlck?two Mg B's among the unsolved
riddles of criminal annals. Let
us see if they have any points of resemblance
with the Hall-Mills case.
Andrew .1. Borden was president of
the Union Savings Bank of Fall River,
rn investor in city and country real
estate, an inflexible New Englander, a
big figure in his native city, hard in j
a bargain but Just. By the time he j
was 70 years old he had a fortune of
about $250,000, which for that day and
place was great. He and his second
wife. Abby, lived with his two daugh- !
ters by the first marriage, Emma and
Lizzie, in an oUl fashioned, straight
lined house at 92 Second street. The
street was half residential, half business.
Some of the others who could
afford it had buiit mansions on the
Hill, hut the Bordens stayed in the old j
neighborhood. Lizzie Borden in that j
year, 1892, was 32 years old, her sister
a few years older. Thero was a house- :
hold servant, Bridget Sullivan, and;
an undo of the two young women,
John V. Morse, was visiting the family.
On August 4. 1892, Emma Borden
was in New Bedford. The uncle, John
Morse, left the Borden house early and
did not return until it was all over.
Mr. and Mrs. Borden, Lizzie and the
servant were left. At about 9:30 in j
the morning Mr. Borden went to the
bank. A few minutes later his wife
Went upstairs, saying she would put
fresh pillow cases in the guest chamber.
Mr. Borden, after stopping at
the post office, reached the bank between
9:30 and 10 o'clock. He had not
been feeling well, and he stayed only a
little while. He got home at about
10:30. Bridget wan washing windows.
She recalled later that not long before
hie arrivaJ she looked at the clock with
her mind on the dinner hour, and saw
that It was twenty minutes after 10.
The front door was kept locked because
a burglar had entered the house
within the preceding year. From the
second floor Bridget went down and
let her employer In. He went Into the.
dining room, sat down a moment, took
the key to his room and climbed the
back stairs. Very soon he returned,
laid the key on its shelf and sat down:
in the sitting room.
Lixzit Borden Tells Bridget
Her Mother Has Gone Out
A few minutes later Bridget saw
Lizzie Borden pass through the sitting
room Into the dining room with an
ironing board. The servant had not
seen Mrs. Borden since 9 o'clock. Lizzie
had told her that her mother had
got a note asking her to call on a sick |
friend and had gone out.
At Ave minutes to 11 Bridget went
up to her attic room to lie down. Hhe j
had been there ten or fifteen minutes
when she heard Lizzie calling her In a
voice of alarm. Hurrying down to the
ground floor, Bridget found Lizzie.
leaning against the hack door. "Somebody
has killed father." Lizzie said.
"Go for Dr. Bowen." Dr. Bowen, family
physician and neighbor, was delayed
a bit. Other neighbors, Mrs.
Russell and Mrs. Churchill, came in
response to Bridget's call. Mr. Borden's
body was found on the lounge
?n the sitting room, the body of his
wife on the floor of the guest room on
ftl ihe second floor, between the bed and
the bureau. Their skulls had been
battered as If by an ox or a hatchet on
th^l forehead and the sides of the head.
Nothing had Seen stolen. Mr. Borden's
watch ticket In his pocket and
his wallet, full of bills, was untouched.
They had been assaulted as If by a
manias- a maniac strong enough to
drive the edge of his hatchet or cleaver,
or whatever It was, clear through the
bono Into the brain?and they had
been struck again and again, although
obviously they hud offered no resistance?Indeed,
each of them might
have been killed while asleep.
At the preliminary inquest Ltade
Borden said that when her father
< ame In from his Journey to the bank
ho complained of feeling ill and lay
down on the sofn, she adjusting the
pi lows for him. Then, while waiting
for the Irons to heat?she had handkerchief*
to iron- she went Into the
j'arkyard. There she picked a few
pears. Then she went into tho little! h
i>arn that stood at a corner of the d
backyard to get some metal to use as p
sinkers for her fishline, ns she in- "
tended to go fishing at Marion the v
next day. Apparently unable to find d
the sinkers she returned to the house, y
She Wits not gone more than twenty o
minutes, but when she entered the a
sitting room she saw her father lying <j
dead. Then she called Bridget. c
Investigators who swamped Fall v
Iliver for days?yes, months?atter- n
ward agreed that whoever killed Mr.
and Mrs. Borden must himself have iS
been spattered with blood. But they
found no telltalo garment anywnere.
Much was made at the timo of a pin
point of blood found on a white un- h
dersklrt of Lizzie Borden's, but even t a
the prosecution had to concede that It ti
might have come there in any one of P
a score of ways. From an examination f,
r>f the digestive tracts medical experts n
determined that Mrs. Borden was fl
killed from an hour to an hour and ?
i half before her husband. The mur- s
clercr must h&vo been on the premises ;
ill that time, for th? rc were plenty s
of neighbors sitting at their open i
windows, with front and back yards in
their range of vision, and they saw no :
one come or go from the time of Mr. |
Borden's return from the bank until i
Bridget ran for the doctor. Several ,
rusty hatchets and axes were found 1
in the cellar or barn, but none of them '
had blood stains. The prosecution at j
the trial disclosed what was to have I
>een a smashing piece of evidence? i
x claw hammer with a freshly broken
handle found in the basement, cov- j
ercd with ashes, which, wiped away, 1
disclosed a stain and a long hair on 1
the blade. But the stain proved not
to be blood, and the hair, one of the
experts solemnly averred, might have i
come from a cow. ;
The Circumstances That
Caused Daughter's Arrest (
There never was any sort of conclusive j
evidence against L.!zrie Borden There i
was circumstantial evidence amounting
to this: She had not been on very
good terms with her stepmother; she
was in the house when the murders
were committed; no stranger, so far as
anybody knew, was in the house; she |
was unable to tell who sent the note
which she believpd had taken her
mother from the house on a sick call
and the sender thereof never made
himself known; Morse, the uncle, had
a perfect alibi; Bridget, fnithfu! family
servant of the old fashioned sort,
was beyond suspicion. District Attorney
Knowlton and the police in their
process of elimination eventually figured
it to be "an inside job." There
was some conflict between Lizzie Borden's
original story and that told at
the preliminary hearing?naturally |
enough for a woman in her state of i
mind, but weighing against her as the
authorities sought this way anci that ;
for a course on which to proceed. She j
was, besides, an unusual young woman :
?rather masculine In build and cast!
of countemance, but either voluntarily |
or by reason of parental discipline, j
which was strong in the Borden house- j
hold, on" who shunned masculine soci- ,
ety. She was reserved, silent, stolid,
at times morose. But the people in
the Congregational church of which
she was a member respected her. and
she had. despite her eccentricities, real
friends.
There was a medical examiner's inquiry,
then a secret inquest before
Police Judge Blalsdell. Eight days
after the murder Lizzie Borden was
arrested, charged with having killed '
her father She stayed In the Taunton j
Jail until the trial, which did not begin j
until Juno 5, 1833. Her friends?most j
of them?were loyal. They dwelt on !
the weakness of a prosecutor's case
which rested on the hypothesis that no
one else could have perpetrated the j
murders, with no direct evidence
against the person accused. They in- j
sisted that the factors which had been ' ;
mentioned as pointing to her guilt i
were not inconsistent with Innocence, j
The "Borden case" went around the 1
world. The trial, which took place in i
New Bedford, was termed "the trial 1
of the century." It attracted tourists, ^
including cranks, from all parts of the <
country* The court consisted of three I t
judges?Mason, Blodgett and Dowry, i
Miss Borden was defended by cx-Gov. ]
Kobinson, Andrew J. Jennings and ]
Melvln A. Adams. The State had Dis- ' :
trlct Attorney Knowlton, afterward t
Attorney-General of Massachusetts. I <
and h 15 a^sisiant, wmiam n. jiuuu/,
with medical experts galore.
A sensation was sprung by Moody
In his opening address. He said ho
would prove by witnesses that Lizzie
Florden three days after tho murders
burned the dress she had worn on tho
morning of tho tragedy. Tho State introduced
as one of its first witnesses
Bridget Sullivan, tho servant. She
said that when sho was trying to open
tho refractory front door to let Mr.
Borden in upon his return from the
bank she uttered an exclamation and
heard Lizzie Borden laugh at the head :
of the stairs near her mother's door.
Sho could not recall what dross Lizzie
wore at that time, but remembered
that sho put on a pink wrapper soon j
after the discovery of the bodies. She j
had never heard any quarreling In the
family. The question of the dress tigured
largely In tho trlaL One neigh- i
bor said it was n light blue; others
and Lizzie herself said It was a dark
blue. Lizzie Borden was quoted by a
woman neighbor ss having told hor
the day before the murders that the
family had been sick tho preceding
night; that sho thought tho milk was
poisoned; that her father had had
trouble with tenants, and that a
strange man had boon hanging about.
Tills witness was Mrs. Kussell. She
was the 8tato's "star witness."' Sho l
swore that on tho Monday following
the day of tho murders she saw Lizzie
at tho kitchen stove with a skirt and i
WAlSt of a pate blue dress and heard
her speak of burning them because ,
"they were all covered with paint." i
Statements made by Miss Borden In !
the Fall River inquest were excluded '
from the trial on the ground that, as i
she was virtually In custody at that
time, whatever she said could not be
tised against her. The State's case
took another tumble when Prof. Edward
8. Wood of Harvard University
test! fled that the hair on the hatchet
exhlbtted to the Jurors was not a human
hair, and that stain# on the dark
blue drees which Elstle Borden and
other witnesses swore that she wore
on the morning of her parents' death
were not hlood stains. Against this
the State could only offer testimony
that the defendant had spoken bitterly
of her stepmother, and while In Jail
had been heard accusing her sister
Emma of "giving her away.'* There
was no evidence that she had ever
seen or known of the existence of the
broken handled hatchet. The State,
when It rested. had failed to Indicate
a ipotlve except for the vague talk of
h'utility Toward the stepmother end

witnesses in review in less than two ti
ays. They said that the dress which 1 t
rtus burned was ari old, paint covered ' 'l
ne that had been hanging in a closet, j h
nd that the burning toolt place in j1

created in shipping:, caused the im-|
irisonment of some sailors, who had (

ime and they swung for it. It was j
rue that Borden had owned an in- j
erest In a schooner, but apparently
iad no interest in the Jefferson Borien.
on which a. famous mutiny took
ilaeo iq 1873. Two of the mutineers
cere sent to prison for life for murderng
the mate. They were still In prison
it Thoma.ston. Me., when the Bordens
vere murdered. A third was lmprismed
for ten years and was free at
he time in question. But he had no
notive for killing Borden, so far us
:ould be learned, nor did It appear
:hat Borden had anything to do with
.he schooner Jefferson Borden or the
punishment of the mutineers. It was
l fact that early in 1892 a strange i
nan was reported to be skulking in
Pall River and talking of avenging
initio injury done by Borden. Capt.
Pickens, when a reporter for Thk
Sew York Herald interviewed him in
1899, was so old and feeble that he
tould recall nothing of value. Every
:lme he approached the Borden mater
his memory, as ho said, "got unlooked."
After the jury set Lizzie Borden free
the and her sister carne into the Borlen
fortune, moved from the oldj
icighborhood and bought a fine house
in "The Hill." There she lived quietly,!

newspapers. In view of tho present j
lay strategy of murder eases, it is i
nteresting now to recall the fact i
:hat throughout the investigation and j
.rial Miss Borden's counsel steadfastly \
leclined to let their client take the j
public into her confidence. They made ;
10 effort to explain unfavorable circumstances
or reconcile anything she j
night have said under excitement with
he facts. They uniformly had "noth- i

taciturnity at the time, but were vin- j

Corespondent Figured as
Burdick Case Suspect!
Now the Buffalo case.
Edward L. Burdick, head of E. I,. i
Burdick & Co. and tlio Buffalo En- j
celopo Company, lived at 101 Ashland '
Avenue, In n good residential part of'
tho city. His w lfe, whom ho was j
suing for divorce, was In Atlantic City i
in the month of February, 1903. There j
were left In his household his three j
rliildren, ranging from 15 to 10 years .
lid; his wife's mother, Mrs. Hull, and1
two servants. On the afternoon of
February 26 Burdick went home from
justness at the usual hour, carrying
i bottle of cocktails which was never
:een thereafter. The grandmother and
.hildren retired early. One of the
nalds, returning from an evening out,
:aught a glimpse of Burdick through
he door of his "den" about 10 oolock.
\ few minutes later she heard him iti
:he cellar shaking the furnace. Comng
downstairs at 8 oelock In the morning,
the two maids found a roar winlow
and the front door open. They
luspected burglars, but nothing was
nlsslng. Burdlck's bed had not been
ilent in. The door of Ills den was i
:losed. The grandmother, Mrs. Hall,'
>pened It, hut seeing In the dim light
i pile of soinothing on a couch, was
ifraid to go In. Dr. Marcy was called,
doing to the couch, he lifted otT two
aillows and a cabin blanket and uncovered
the body of Burdick. The 1
jack of his skull was crushed. Two j
fingers of his left hand were broken, j
is If In a struggle. Ho had nothing !
>n but a shirt. His coat, waistcoat
ind trousers were scattered around the j
room. There was a fully loaded, un-1
discharged revolver in a pocket of the |
coat. On a tabic were a small bottle j
if whisky and the remains of a light I
lunch?a tart, crackers and imported j
cheese?the sort of food Burdick never j
ate. It looked as if Burdick had en- |
tertained a murderous guest. Early
suspicion pointed to a woman. One
theory was that a woman killed him,
another that a woman had been followed
Into the house by a man and
that the man had done It. But Judge
Murphy sold at the end of the inquest.1
a month later, that the theory as to a ;
woman was not sustained by the evi-1
dance and that not a single Immoral
act on Burdlck's part had been discloeed.
It was learned following the mur
rler that the man named as corespondent
in Burdlck'a suit for divorce wa? j
Arthur It. Pennell, a young lawyer j
living In Cleveland avenue, n graduate
of Tale.
The devotion of Pennall's wife to
htm was one of the touching features
developed by tho Investigation. Pennell
was under suspicion at once. Hie
alibi waa that he had dinner at home,
left the house only to go to an automobile
station, returned Immediately
and went to bod. The weapon with
which Burdlck was killed could not
be found. A golf putter was reported j
missing, and the police thought that
might be it, but It turned up and was |
eventually dismissed from consideration.
The missing cocktail bottlo offered
another Item for epeculatlon. A
policeman said he saw a strange
woman walking In tho street not far
from the Burdlck home at J:10 A. M
