HELD WITHOUT BAIL.
Patrick Murphy, Portland, to Be Tried 10
Murder OF Wife.

Portland, Me-, Oct. 26.-Patrick Muir
ply, the alleged wife murderer, was
given an examination before Judge
Robinson in the municipal court, this
morning. Murphy was arraigned on
Monday and pleaded not guilty
The main evidence against Murphy
as brought out in the examination was
the fact of previous assaults, the state
ment of the doctor at the hospital that
Mrs. Murphy's death was caused by
the pressure of the fractured ribs
against the lung, causing traumatic
pneumonia, and of a son of Mrs. Muir
ply by a former husband, who said he
saw his stepfather hit and kick his
mother and then throw her down stairs
where she was found by the police.
The defence is that the death was
caused by alcoholism, exposure and
lack of proper treatment. Probable
cause was found and Murphy was held
for the January term of the superior
court without bail.

impossible to distinguish the players
on the field. There were only about
100 people present at the contest.

the westerly goal and with the wind in
htelr favor. Coburn played great foot
Dali IN the first half. She pushed Ban
gor all oyer the field and scored her
only touchdown in the first five min

flew out from the mass of humanity
like a top and slid 20 yards down the
field in the mud.
No one saw it but Allen. All of the
rest OF the players were piled on top
OF each other and they supposed that
the bail was underneath them. All that
Alien had to do was to grab the bail
and start for the Bangor goal. He haa
clear field all he way and made the
touchdown two minutes before any of

Capt. Smith was successful at goal and
the score was tied. A great deal of in
terest was manifested among the hand
full of people present. Coburn kicked
off and Bangor repeated the same tao
tics as she did in scoring her first
touchdown.
Coburn's line seemed to grow weaker
