AT that time, by the way, this Murray,

This shows how ready the public 10 10

again of his temporal affairs. Bless

known how his accounts stood. Wasn't
he running three houses out here for
his friends? One wasn't large enough
or two--for those who came, and they
numbered sometimes thirty or forty.
But I can tell you one thing, there will

friend, and, in fact. I think all of his
creditors feel kindly toward him. Be-
fore he went to California gave him
my check for $500 to help pay q Boston
note, about which much has been said.
He had also q balance Of 81, 900 in the
bank. If there is any moral certainty,
Mr.. Murray was sure that every claim
had been provided against. He even
returned me the check for $500 because
he thought he would not need it. I
was anxious that he should get rest
right away. He stopped at Springfield
on the way to San Francisco. When
the newspapers made publication Of
some facts and more fancies, Mr.. Muir
ray came out in his card bidding fare
xell to public life. Have you read that
carefully? Yes? Well, nothing ever
touched me more. In that card Mr..
Murray said, substantially, to his cred
itors, You think you can manage my
property better than I can. Take all /
have, and I will work and help You
ont That is what the letter meant.
Much that the papers have printed was
simply monstrous. think that Mr..
Murray's friends will pay up, and that
these proceedings will stop. Mr.. MUIR

Notwithstanding the statement ~
Senator Plat and the rsmafkSs0f IL
gentleman just quoted, there was soma
question as to who should be appointed
| trustee when the creditors came to dis
cuss that matter. Shortly before Mr..
Murray went away he was supposed to
own sixty horses. Several Of the finer
horses were sold previous to his trip,
and after that his superintendent, Mr..
Good, kept on selling until the attach
ment. After the Sheriff's seizure, it ID
alleged, much of the property was
taken away, while considerable por-
ton of it was claimed as the personal
property of Mr.. Good and Miss Ida
Hull. There we're less than dozen
persons at the meeting. Judge Harri-
son appeared as the representative of
three Boston creditors. He opposed
the appointment of Deacon Alfred G.
Hull, who brought the present proceed
ings, as trustee. Mr.. Whiting, repre-
senting other Boston creditors, also
opposed Hull's appointment. He had
heard of property previously rumored
to exist in Madison, and thought Hull's
attachment had not covered all the
property available. Mr.. Whitney, in
answer to a question from Judge Har-
rison, said that he had no evidence Of
wrong doing on the part of Hull, but
he would oppose him on the ground of
lack of experience and his relations to
the suit.
Senator Plat expressed the opinion
that if the Sheriff who made the attach
ment searched diligently, the proceed
ings were not defective. He said he
represented two indorsers of Mr.. Muir
rays notes. one being Mr.. Wilcox, Of
Meriden, who Endorsed for 81 900, and
the other w. 81. Merrill, Of Boston,
who indorsed for "a, 200. He said be
approved of Deacon Hull's appoint
ment. He hoped rything would
be adjusted, 50 that Mr.. Murrsys
usefulness = % %. clergyman would
not be impaired. He made the state

Murray's ability to get out Of this
