Butte, Mont, June 15.-Thomas Nc
Tague and Frank Conley, wardens of the
state penitentiary, express the opinion
that the confession Of William Niles at
Kansas City Of the murder Of John Ed
wards, a Montana union brakeman, for
which crime William Murphy is now do
ing q life sentence, IS probably true. Inc
Wardens tell a story which may prove that
an innocent gray haired man. now help
less, hopeless lunatic within the walls
at Deer Lodge, Is the victim Of the
strangest circumstances that ever formed
a web for a thrilling chapter Of fiction
Some time during the summer Of 1884,
on top of one Of the cars Of Coles cir
Gus train, which had pulled into Garri-
son, was found the body Of brakeman
with a bullet hole in his back. Not the
slightest clue to the affair could be found
nothing but the unmistakable evidence
of brutal and cowardly murder. The
body OF the murdered brakeman was sent
to Salt Lake City and for some time
the affair was shrouded In mystery.
One day about a year later a man
walked into the police station in Mime
apolis and offered to be taken into Gus
tody as the murderer Of the brakeman
in Montana. He was locked up and the
Montana authorities were informed Of the
affair and In q few months the man was
occupying cell with life sentence hang
ing over him. That man is William Muir
ply, alias Waltham, who has grown ole
and is fast losing his mind in the narrow
limits Of his cell at Deer Lodge.
Once, several years ago. he attempted
to escape, but the guard planted a charge
Of buckshOt in his leg and took him back
He is now 55, and Is employed to carry
water and do other chores around the
prison.
When told that another man had con
fessed to the crime for which he is serv'
ing a life sentence, Murphy gave the re
porter an empty stare, and finally broke
into a violent fit Of laughter. Convict!
who know him best believe that Murphy
fired a shot to scare the brakeman an(
that he had no intention Of injurlng him
but later believed he really killed him.
