TolTHE GENERAL PUBLIC ~
Concerning the death Of james Dahl
ey and the manner IN which he was
killed, We feel 1t onr duty to cooper
ate in any way that might be the
means Of properly promoting the adj
ministration Of justice.
We have carefully read and consid-
cred the sworn statement Of Edward
Murphey, which appeared in The
WoRLD, last Thursday, Oct. Goth, and
willingly corroborate same as being
correct and truthful as far as the fol-
lowing extracts 60, which are taken
from said Murphey's statement, Of said
date, viz:
EXTRACTS.

! would get him Daily his ticket, and

or any place he wanted to go. DR..
Bland repeatedly kept this up, and FREE
lquently in my presence. Dailey often
said that when he got able and ready
to 60 away he did not care whether he
got ticket or not, as he could then
go his own way. At one time when
Bland asked this question Daley re-
; piled Well, il you want me to 90

lgo.n
'sDr. Bland also approached me and
offered to secure me ticket over the
B. u @. p. II. as far as il went, il /
would leave.

sent away DIR. Bland remarked to me
that the best thing could do was to
go on with the show again, as my SER
vices were no longer needed, and that
he lBland) could get along very well
with fatty"
"Dr. Bland also passed theremark to
| Mr.. and Mrs. Racey, .'that it was
good thing that had left Martinsburg,
asst probably had saved me from going
to the State Prison. ~
