he WROTE VERSE
Suicide OF a Young member Of the nurphy
Family


The foregoing were the last words writ
ten by John Murphy, who is supposed to
have taken his life at 214 Ellis street to-
day. He was relative of the San Jose
Murphys, and his mother was one of the
Bonner party whose terrible experience
in crossing the plains made one Of the
most tragic chapters in the history of
California.
Murphy was evidently infatuated with
a woman who bears number of aliases.
At one time she signed herself Sadie
Nichols, at another Sadie Merle and yet
again Sadie Murphy. Frequently she ad-
dressed the deceased as Papa, and signed
herself Mamma. Crushed in the dead
mans hand was a picture of the woman,
while in has pocket We're some verses ad-
dressed Sadie and signed Jack. in
which he said he died for a woman he
loved.
Deceased was married number of
years ago to the daughter of DR.. Kelly
OF San Jose, formerly postmaster OF that
city. For two or three years past they
have lived apart, and the lady is now re-
siding with her own people. He was a
cousin OF Barney Murphy and Mrs. II. S.
Carroll. His father. John NJ. Murphy, who
died five years ago. was formerly sheriff
of Santa Clara county. About six months
ago the young man disappeared. and it
was generally understood that he was
leading reckless life.
Mrs. Sadie Nichols, in whose house the
suicide occurred. seemed very much al
fected by the sad affair.
HE has been living with me for a long
time, both at PA Ellis and 122 A Geary.

have killed himself, except that he lost
his position at the Motropole Club two
weeks ago and had been drinking heav.

A relative of the deceased arrived from
San Jose late in the afternoon and tool

much to add to the prosperity OF the city
Is the establishment conducted by
McsGs. Silver Bros Il9 north West
