THE SUE MURPHY CASE
is engrossing q deal OF public attention Just
now, for the reason that it has come to be re-
garded as test case upon the decision of
which will depend, in great measure, the pros
ecution Of very large number OF analogous
claims. The question upon which the case
hinges is simply whether resident of Confed-
crate territory, which had been conquered and
occupied by the United States forces, is to be
regarded in all cases as having been public
enemy, liable to have his property seized and
used without compensation. The lawyers upon
the floor OF the Senate have generally support
ed this view; but the injustice Of the position
has been clearly and forcibly demonstrated by
several senators, among whom was Mr.. Sawyer,
OF South Carolina. 1t is noteworthy that his
remarks on this bill happened to be the first
set speech delivered by senator or represen-
