Stsqe Driver Was Innocent.

Z. L. Williams. the driver OF the
stage on which AL. Murphy left the
county, told the ARGUS reporter yes
terday that he did not see Murphy In
town before the coach left and states
that man giving his name as Kelly
boarded the stage about four miles
out. Mr.. Williams says he did not
pay much attention to the man and
had not the slightest Idea OF who 1t
was. He mentioned the fact that the
account written last week seemed IL
insinuate that he knew Murphy was
on the stage, but the above state
ment OF Williams regarding the mat
ter will no doubt correct that I'm
preston.
1t is well to mention In regard to
the affair that Justice Mcfarland
was q passenger on the cosch that
morning and saw the man board the
stage about four miles out. but ow.
ing to his disguise failed to recognize
him. The justice says that the pas
senger was very quiet and he did no,
pay any attention to him. as hs
thought It was probably some fello "
who had been dissipating the night
before and did not feel 10 "A conversa
tional mood. Noattention was paid
To him either by the justice or thu
driver, aud the fuct that he did moi
take any dinner at Denton dii no,
excite suspicion. ms the justice thought
1t was on account Of the after effect'
OF nights dissipation.
