bottom of the mystery before long.
Asked by reported for "The News

Murphy replied that he had nothing to
say on that point. To a reporter for a
New York newpaper he said that Kynas-
ton told him he got the coupons from
Jago first officer of the Brittanic and that
more coupons had been stolen than had
been found in his possession.
Norman L. Rowe, counsel for Rynaston
declared this morning that Rynaton had
made no confession alleging wholesale
robbery aboard the Britsanic. as has been
reported. Mr.. Rowe said that his client
is free from criminal guilt and cannot be
held by the authorities in this country
The coupons he declares were not stolen
from aboard the Brittanic, but were OBJ
tanned in England.
"They were given to Jago, he said, ito
deliver to a man in New York. There
were forty of the coupons and they were
clipped in England. Jago gave twenty of
them to Rynaston to cash for him. and he
was arrested while trying to fulfill his
commission Jago is the guilty one. Ny
client has been in no way implicated in
the smuggling case. He knows nothing
about the smuggling.
