The Salem Man Who Is Badly
Wanted for Bank
Theft.
TROUBLE OVER THE REWARD.
Judge Bahrs Denied Him Relief-He
Says He Will Never Reach
Home Alive.

/. Clarence NJ. Murphy, who Is badly
wanted in Salem. Mass, for bank theft,
started last evening under the care of Mar
shall Hart. who was sent out here for him.
His departure was made few hours after
Judge Bahrs had denied his application
for writ of habeas corpus.
His attorney, Colonel Eddy, in applying
for the writ found error in the papers of
extradition in two places-the crime had
not been specified any more directly than
as larceny, which might lead to the infer
enee that it was petty larceny, an offenss
not extraditable, and the private secretary
of the Governor, and not the Governor
himself, had signed the warrant.
Judge Bahrs wrote an opinion on the
case, in which he answered both points.
AS to the first one, he cited Supreme Court
cases to show that when the terms felony,
larceny or any other general term were
used it included all degrees Of the crime
specified. AS to the second point, he held
that the great seal of the State, which was
affixed to the warrant, was sufficient evil
dence of the approval of the Governor,
even though he himself had not signed the
document. He therefore denied the writ.
About 4;3O o'clock yesterday afternoon
City Marshal Hart of Salem and his deputy
went to the City Prison to take Murphy
back with them. When they reached his
cell Hart said: well, Murphy, I have
come to take you back
.'It will take better man than you to
take me back" sneered Murphy.
"All right said Hart. II will try it,
anyhow
Murphy retorted by using an expression
more forcible than polite, and defied the
Marshal to take him out of the cell.
Captain Robinson, who was present, or
dered three TRUSTEES to assist the Marshal
and his deputy, and Murphy was dragged
out of the cell and the handouts slipped
over his wrists. Then he became quieter,
but remarked to the Marshal, "Youll
never get me there alive"
AS he was leaving the prison Murphy
shouted, II want it publicly known that
]. P. Allen has got share of the reward
for my capture, - him."
The $500 check as reward for Murphy's
capture was yesterday handed by Marshal
Hart to Private Detective ChappelIe on
the understanding that he would divide
the money among those entitled to it.
There are four claimants, ]. P. Allen,
with whom Murphy and his wife lived at
462 Santa Clara avenue, Alameda; Attor-
ney CASTOR Straus, Private Detective
Chappelle and Policeman w. f. Brophy.
Allen learned through Murphy's wife
that her husband was a defaulter and he
communicated his information to Attor-
ney Straus. AN arrangement was made
that Murphy would meet Allen at Sam
some and California streets on Friday,
January 81, and Chappelle was to be on
hand to arrest him. The programme was
carried out, but when Murphy was taken
to police headquarters he escaped from
the detectives room by jumping out of
the window and was recaptured by Police
man Brophy, who made claim for
share of the reward and was backed up by
his superior officers. What disposition
Chappelle will make of the $500 remains to
be seen.

An essay that deeply impressed the
audience with its depth and elegance was
that of Miss Nellie Mcguire OF Thomas

tion.'
The Press Club quartet sang selections
with its wonted brilliancv and responded
gracefully to loud call for an encore.
Miss May Barry of Cathedral Circle in

Charles F. Taepzer of Thirteenth avenue
played with patent gaslighter last night
and this morning he was discovered in his
bed unconscious. His ignorance of the
manner in which the machine works nearly
cost him his life.
Taenzer is an assistant in the butcher.
shop at 1121 Thirteenth avenue. Last night
he retired as usual, and as he was not
around at the regular slime this morning
his room was entered and it was found to
be full of gas. Taenzer was almost dead
and he was at once taken into the air and
all the usual means of resuscitation were
used. DR.. Wentworth worked over the
asphyxiated man for several hours and
Taenzer was ultimately revived.
He said that when he went to his room
he pulled the patent lighting affair at
tached to the gas, but as it did not ignite
he paid no attention to it and retired in
the dark. He did not notice the smell of
gas in the room and quickly fell asleep
An examination of the gasburner shows
that although the gas was tdrned on the
arrangement that should have caused the
spark was defective.
