MURPHY AND MHuGu RELEASED.
Chief McDermOtts Opinion of the
Verdict Against Them.


There was nothing new yesterday in the
case against Policemen Murphy and Nc
Hugh, charged with manslaughter on ac,
count of the fatal shooting of Elijah
Keebler. The officers, who had been de-
tanned in the barracks after the shooting
to await the result of the coroner's in
quest. gave bond and were released The
amount of bond fixed by the solicitor-gen-
eral was $500. The verdict was a sur
prise to most people who read the evidence
as published in yesterdays Morning News
The evidence published was a verba tim
report Of that given at the inquest Half
dozen witnesses who saw Keebler inst
before he fell testified that he had a dirk
knife in his hand with which he made
threatening demonstrations. The evidence
also showed that several other parties
were firing at Keebler at the same time
with Policeman McHugh. The policeman
believed he was firing at a man who was
redhanded with murder.
Chief McDermott, in speaking of the
verdict, said: 1T will have a bad effect
on the police and also on the disorderIy
characters of the city. If Hodges had
killed that negro whom he fired at this
morning there would have been iust as
much reason to hold him for manslaugh-
ter yet the man turned out to be the
most notorious thief that has been arrest
ed here in years. There is any quantity
of evidence to show that Keebler was a
desperate of the worst class He has
been engaged in numberless scrapes and
dehed the constables to arrest him. An
drews, the colored magistrate testified
that he requested the police to arrest
Keebler because his constable WAS afraid
to do so. 1t is plain that if Keebler had
had a pistol he would certainly have kill
ed Murphy. 1t would have been the Neve-
Smalls case over again. KeebIer was GER
tain to kill some good man sooner or
later and the plain truth of the matter is
that it is a good thing he was put out of
the way before he did So
Andrews, the colored magistrate of the
seventh district stated to a Morning
News reporter that Keebler was a most
desperate character who reared neither
God nor man" He was the terror of all
the negroes in his section of the county.
Andrews said.
