Nebraska MURPRY BACK 10 STATE'S PRISON Governor Morehead Revokes Parole Given Young Man from Cherry County. HAD BEEN IN STOLEN AUTO (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. 19.—~(S8pecial.)—Kenneth Murphy, the young man who was con- victed of the murder of Charles Sellers in Cherry county and given a life sen- tence, will remain in the penitentiary the rest of his natural life. Governor Morehead, who about two years ago took pity on the lad and gave him a furlough, revoked the furlough and returned him | to that Institution this morning. Murphy and three other young men resolved to give Sellers a lesson be- cause the latter had been too persistent in his attentions to a sister of Murphy, and took him out one morning and strung him up to a tree in Cherry county. He never bothered the girl again for the “lesson” resulted in his death. Murphy was tried and given a life sentence. Urged to Take Step. Soon after his arrival at the state peni- tentlary Governor Morehead was be- sleged by & number of prison reformers who persisted that the young man should be given a chance. They told the ex- ecutive that Murphy would educate him- self and be good the rest of his life. The governor gave Murphy a furlough pend- ing good behavior. The young man, with the help of the friends who had besieged the governor, got & job and applied to the state uni- iversity for admission. Chancellor Avery did not belleve it for the best Interests of the institution that a convict be al- lowed to mingle with the other students and refused him admission. However, the authorities at the Wesleyan Meth- wodist university at University Place took pity on the lad and allowed him to mttend that institution. Was in m Auto. For more than a year Lincoln has been Infested with a gang of boys who have been stealing automobiles. Several ar- frests have been made and the lads let i®o on promise of good behavior, but the thieving has been going on with re- mewed vigor. Last Tuesday two young Daroled convicts were captured after they had stolen an automobile. Investigation disclosed they had been in the habit of taking the machines for some time and taking girls for joy rides. The theft of the last one disclosed that Murphy fwas with them iIn the machine which was flast stolen, although he says he left them mfter discovering that the machine had een stolen. However, this is disputed. Morehead Disgusted. Governor Morehead is very much dis- pusted with the whole deal. Tt is under- wtood that he is very much put out that the yong man whom he had given a wchance, and had been roundly criticized | for doing so, should be so unappreciative of the ‘effort. Some of the parties who had been insistent for Murphy's parole lied on the governor this morning and dnsisted that the boy should not be pent back to the pen. The governor was bbdurate and intimated that as he had ven the man a chance and Murphy ad not appreciated it, he could go back and take the rest of bis life to think it over.

Teachers' | Nebraska WAIT FOR HALL TO SPEAK Democrats Who Are Pushing Him for Governor Hope He Will Fill Great Gap. DOES NOT GIVE OUT HIS PLANS LINCOLN, Aug. 19.—(Spacial.)—Demo- crats around Lincoln have taken courage now that an effort is being made to draft Dr. P. L. Hall as the democratic candi- date for governor. THose who have been much disturbed over ‘the split-up condi- tion of the unterrified forces appear to | think that Dr. Hall can bring all the | kieking ones together and make them for- | &et the cussing they have been giving Willlam J., Charles W. Bryan, Gilbert Hitcheock, Governor Morehead, State | Treasurer Hall and the rest of the fel- the stralght and narrow democratic path which leads to democratic glory. But Dr. Hall Is mighty close-mouthed | on the subject. He is to give a talk at a | democratic “‘get-to-together” | the Lindell hotel next Saturday night, | and the faltering ones are holding thelr | breath in hopes that the national commit- teeman will say, “I accept.” | However, Dr. Hall Is no spring chicken | In politics. He does not need a telescope | which exists brethren. to noodle over leading candidates for th | senatorship, he knows that if he gets th | nomination he will be compelled to take one side or the other of the controversy | and that will simply mean goodbye to the among his democratic Bryan has his eye on that nominatfon. The doctor has been pretty lucky so far | in keeping the Bryan and the Hitchcock factions all friendly with him, simply be- of Brother Charlle or his brother means committing the unpardonable political sin, and without their support one cannot hope to pull through for the governor- ship job or any other place on the demo- cratic ticket. Dr. Hall has been wise enough in his political career not to accept democratic nominations for anything that anybody else wanted and so he has been able to keep a strangle hold on the affections of Nebraska democrats. The question now is whether he will allow the politicat seers to inveigle him into taking a nom- ination in an effort to stem a defeat that is apparent to even the most sanguine is Inevitable. BENSON BOND DEAL SLIGHTLY EXPENSIVE (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. 19.—(Special.)—Secre- tary of State Pool has refused to sign an affidavit that the 325,000 bonds voted by the village of Benson have been reg- istered in hin office. He has discovered that the Jackson 1913 as house roll 340, was never in cor- porated in the statutes. This in the mind of the pecretary of state makes it a question whether the law which required {him to make such certificate is valia or net The Benson bonds bear 6 per cent inter- est and were sold to outside parties with- out the state being given a chance to bid on them. The state would have been glad to have taken the bonds so that the | people of Benson would have had to pay but 6 per cent. As the deal went through the $25,000 bonds bear 6 per cent and a premium of $1,500 was pald for them. As the bonds run twenty years it will mean that the people of Benson are giving someone a neat little profit of $3,500 on the deal, which could have been saved if the state had been given a chance to bid.
