Two or three occasions has been the

he was satisfied and would not leave
Sullivan and ToOle drove Murphy and

plN and EDDY went 10 the sheriff and
asked for protection Sheriff Man told
the men to 20 back and he would go up
at once. EDDY and Murphy went back
and got to the hotel, before the sheriff.
According TO Murphy's story when he
and Eddy got back TO the boarding
house they found that some money had
been taken from their clothes and az once
suspected Sullivan and demanded the
money. Sullivan was lying down. and.
nearing Murphy jumped up and ehnched
with him. The wrestling put cut the
lamp. and Toole: sullivan partner. m
trying TO help his friend. stabbed at
Murphy and struck Sullivan.
Sullivan SAYS that Murphy came into
the room quietly and attacked him. but
an eyewitness states that the story OF
Murphy is the correct one. Sheriff Man
got to the house just as the fight was
ended and he is inclined to believe that
Murphy was on the defensive all the
time and that the cutting was done by
IOOle. The point that bears this theory
out is that no knife or other instrument
was found on the person Of Murphy. The
entire party is in jail and physicians are
attending TO Sullivan.
