MORE SCRAP IRON TALK.
Mr. ID. J. sIurDhy's Testimony Before
the Investigating Committee.


Alderman Testers scrap iron investi-
eating committee held another secret ses-
sion yesterday. Several witnesses We're
heard and the investigation was contin-
ued until this week.
Mr.. d. J. Murphy, was one of the wit
nesses before the committee, and was
able TO give the committee some light on
the subject. He informed the committee
that IN the early part OF 1894 he was
works. He was also selling coal and coke
to Kehoe & Co. He noticed a large lot
and 0I Informed 5oP r K 5S 're of 6Is
fact knowing that he could make use of
~ at his foundry. Mr.. Kehoe Mr.. Muir
ply said, authorized him TO buy the iron
at a certain price, telling him that If he
could make better trade than that the
difference would go TO him. Mr.. Muir
the iron from Mr.. a. A. Wheeler, then
superintendent of the crematory, but
without success. He was not willing to
accept the price offered for the iron.
Not once, hut dozen times" said Mr..
Murphy to a Morning News reporter.
after the Investigation MIR Wheeler
stated to me that the iron did not belong
to the city, but was his personal property.
DR.. Harris, he said, had told him that he
could have the old iron, if he wanted to
Mr. Wheeler was particular in making
this statement Mr.. Murphy said, be-
cause Mr. KehOe had authorized him 10
price for the iron, provided he was all
lowed to pay for 1t in part in work
for the crematOrv. The statement that
Mr.. Murphy acted as Mr.. Kehoe's agent

he said, was an error About year later
I'm the spring Of 1885, Mr.. Murphy said he
was employed ip making a trial balance
OF the books OF Kehoe & Co II was
at this time that the iron from the Gre
matory was purchased by the firm.
Whether the purchase was made by Mr..
Kehoe or his son, or both. Mr. Murphy
said he did not know. Neither did he
know whether 1t was made from Mr..
! Wheeler, who was stin superintendent,
or from Air. Rogers, VINO had
! been appointed superintendent Of
the 0. f. M. department. The pur-
chase was made in the latter part of
| March or the early part Of April and the
| first lot was delivered in April. Mr. Muir
ply weighed the iron when 1t was de-
/ livered and made out the check for $109
! in payment.
"When Mr.. Rogers came for the check. "
/ said Mr.. Murphy, II asked, To whom
! shall ] draw the checS?' Mr.. Rogers re-
! piled, Draw ii TO bearer; I have to settle
/ with Mr. Wheeler or words to that
/ effect. The check was drawn payable to
I bearer"
Mr.. Murphy finished his work with Ke-
/ hoe & Co. shortly after this, and had
/ nothing further to do with any Of the
/ subsequent lots of iron delivered to the
J firm. Tnis is the extent of his knowledge
